The Babinski sign or Babinski reflex is a pathological reflex that occurs when the pyramidal tract is damaged: Forced stroking of the lateral edge of the foot results in big toe extension and simultaneous spreading of the other toes and/or flexion of the foot.

Lyme Disease
Monhegan is an isolated 237-ha island lying 16 km off the coast of Maine. Introduced to the island in 1955, white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus Zimmerman, reached a density of approximately 37/km2 by the mid-1990s. Black-legged ticks, Ixodes scapularis Say, first noticed in the late 1980s, flourished thereafter.[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma
Oligodendrogliomas are the third most common type of glioma. Oligodendrogliomas are typically indolent tumours, yet the majority of them are incurable and most patients will ultimately die. Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas are important to recognise from other primary brain tumours, since they have unique molecular,[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
