Risk: The smoking time-bomb is located on the Sunda Strait, between Java and Sumatra. With an explosive force 13,000 times the power of the atomic bomb that annihilated Hiroshima, the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa killed more than 36,000 people and radically altered global weather and temperatures for years afterwards.
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a condition that features a group of typical symptoms, including pain (often burning type), tenderness, and swelling of an extremity associated with varying degrees of sweating, warmth and/or coolness, flushing, discoloration, and shiny skin.
The ciliospinal reflex response is mainly mediated by second-and third-order sympathetic nerves to the dilatator muscle of the iris.As the pupillary response to various pharmacological agents indicates a sympathetic dysfunction in patients with cluster headache, the ciliospinal reflex was studied in 25 patients.n 18 (72%) of our 25 patients, an asymmetric and lower ciliospinal reflex response on the symptomatic side was seen. In 3 (12%) patients, there was no difference in the response. In 4 patients (16%), the incorrect side was indicated by an asymmetric reflex response.
