The cause of this degeneration is unknown, but likely accounts for some of the signs and symptoms of the disorder, such as the loss of temperature differentiation and pin-prick sensation. The combination of increased pain signaling, and degeneration of pain-transmitting fibers, leads to a variable condition with signs and symptoms that can both ...
Brown-Séquard syndrome (also known as Brown-Séquard's hemiplegia, Brown-Séquard's paralysis, hemiparaplegic syndrome, hemiplegia et hemiparaplegia spinalis, or spinal hemiparaplegia) is caused by damage to one half of the spinal cord, i.e. hemisection of the spinal cord resulting in paralysis and loss of proprioception on the same (or ipsilateral) side as the injury or lesion, and loss of ...
Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F) in humans. [2] Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia, there is shivering and mental confusion.
Those with femoral nerve dysfunction may present problems of difficulties in movement and a loss of sensation. [medical citation needed] The patient, in terms of motor skills, may have problems such as quadriceps wasting, loss of knee extension and a lesser extent of hip flexion given the femoral nerve involvement of the iliacus and pectineus muscles.

[7] [8] The initial symptoms are typically a feeling of cold and tingling or numbing. [1] This may be followed by clumsiness with a white or bluish color to the skin. [1] Swelling or blistering may occur following treatment. [1] Complications may include hypothermia or compartment syndrome. [2] [1]
Here you can see a typical test where the first lactate threshold is at around 210-215 power output and their second lactate threshold is at 260-265.
Central cord syndrome, almost always resulting from damage to the cervical spinal cord, is characterized by weakness in the arms with relative sparing of the legs, and spared sensation in regions served by the sacral segments. [25] There is loss of sensation of pain, temperature, light touch, and pressure below the level of injury. [26]
The damage may result in loss of feeling, paralysis, weakness, [4] and stiffness in the back, shoulders, and extremities. Syringomyelia may also cause a loss of the ability to feel extremes of hot or cold, especially in the hands. It may also lead to a cape-like bilateral loss of pain and temperature sensation along the upper chest and arms.
