Description:
A general term referring to a mild to moderate degree of muscular weakness, occasionally used as a synonym for PARALYSIS (severe or complete loss of motor function). In the older literature, paresis often referred specifically to paretic neurosyphilis (see NEUROSYPHILIS). "General paresis" and "general paralysis" may still carry that connotation. Bilateral lower extremity paresis is referred to as PARAPARESIS.

- " Gold implants are used in various medical procedures, including reconstructive surgery of the middle ear, upper lid closure in facial nerve paresis-induced lagophthalmos, drug delivery microchips, antitumor treatment, treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, use on the surface of voice prostheses, and endovascular stents, with sound clinical results"

- " Chronic disuse causes plastic rearrangements in the higher centers that further reduce the ability to voluntarily recruit motor units, i.e., that aggravate baseline paresis" 01/01/1988
- " Facial pareses were operated on by a plastic surgeon and they did not markedly detract from working capacity" 09/01/2006
- " As would be expected, constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy), which has been found to be beneficial for chronic stroke hemiparesis, has been repeatedly associated with significant plastic brain changes in a variety of studies that have included transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), or other approaches" 02/01/1984
- " Tongue hemiparesis is the inevitable result when the freshly severed 12th nerve is anastomosed to the trunk of a paralyzed 7th nerve in the technique commonly used by neurosurgeons, head and neck surgeons, otologists, and plastic surgeons to treat unilateral facial paralysis" 01/01/1992
- " The basic components of this therapy are the following: removal of hypovolemia and anemia, combined (central and regional) anesthesia, prevention of pneumonia, normalization of salt and water exchange, removal of excessive catabolism, adequate ensuring of organism with energy and plastic material for long-time compensation, prophylaxis and treatment of paresis of digestive tract, chemoprophylaxis of wound infection"
