21-534: The town of Bordesholm developed around 1330, when the abbey of Neumünster (founded in 1127 by Bishop Vizelin ) was moved to an island in the Bordesholm lake. Saint Vizelin was buried there. Thereafter, a village grew up at the shore of the lake, likely providing services to the abbey. Because of the abbey Bordesholm became the cultural and economic center of the duchy of Holstein (nowadays Schleswig-Holstein) region between Kiel and Neumünster . The abbeys name

42-399: A certain pattern. Most paralyses caused by nervous-system damage (e.g., spinal cord injuries ) are constant in nature; however, some forms of periodic paralysis , including sleep paralysis , are caused by other factors. Paralysis can occur in newborns due to a congenital defect known as spina bifida . Spina bifida causes one or more of the vertebrae to fail to form vertebral arches within

63-590: A new bell . He is usually represented with a church resting on his left arm; his feast is celebrated on 12 December. Paralysis Paralysis ( pl. : paralyses ; also known as plegia ) is a loss of motor function in one or more muscles . Paralysis can also be accompanied by a loss of feeling (sensory loss) in the affected area if there is sensory damage. In the United States , roughly 1 in 50 people have been diagnosed with some form of permanent or transient paralysis. The word "paralysis" derives from

84-406: Is a deterioration of nerves in the spinal cord, starting in the posterior part of the cord. Affected dogs will become gradually weaker in the hind legs as nerves die off. Eventually, their hind legs become useless. They often also exhibit faecal and urinary incontinence. As the disease progresses, the paresis and paralysis gradually move forward. This disease also affects other large breeds of dogs. It

105-572: Is known in late gothic period music due to the Bordesholm Lament of Virgin Mary ( Bordesholmer Marienklage ), a 1475/76 passion drama with songs in middle German. During the reformation the abbey was closed in 1566 by duke Hans the Elder of Slesvig-Holsten-Haderslev . It then became a Latin school, which was dissolved in 1665. The remains of the abbey and school library became the foundation of

126-594: Is the tetrodotoxin of fish species such as Takifugu rubripes , the famously lethal pufferfish of Japanese fugu . This toxin works by binding to sodium channels in nerve cells, inhibiting the cells' proper function. A non-lethal dose of this toxin results in temporary paralysis. This toxin is also present in many other species ranging from toads to nemerteans . Paralysis can be seen in breeds of dogs that are chondrodysplastic . These dogs have short legs, and may also have short muzzles. Their intervertebral disc material can calcify and become more brittle. In such cases,

147-423: Is voluntary restriction or inhibition of motion because of pain, incoordination, orgasm, or other cause, and is not due to actual muscular paralysis. In an infant, it may be a symptom of congenital syphilis . Pseudoparalysis can be caused by extreme mental stresses, and is a common feature of mental disorders such as panic anxiety disorder . Paralysis can occur in localised or generalised forms, or it may follow

168-897: The Greek παράλυσις, meaning "disabling of the nerves" from παρά ( para ) meaning "beside, by" and λύσις ( lysis ) meaning "making loose". A paralysis accompanied by involuntary tremors is usually called " palsy ". Paralysis is most often caused by damage in the nervous system , especially the spinal cord . Other major causes are stroke , trauma with nerve injury , poliomyelitis , cerebral palsy , peripheral neuropathy , Parkinson's disease , ALS , botulism , spina bifida , multiple sclerosis , and Guillain–Barré syndrome . Temporary paralysis occurs during REM sleep , and dysregulation of this system can lead to episodes of waking paralysis . Drugs that interfere with nerve function , such as curare , can also cause paralysis. Pseudoparalysis ( pseudo- meaning "false, not genuine", from Greek ψεῦδος )

189-498: The Rule of St. Augustine , and was liberally endowed by the archbishop. Wars among the tribes in 1137 caused the missionaries to abandon their labours for two years. Vicelinus sent two priests to Liubice, but with little success. In 1134 he founded a second canonry at Segeberg. Some years later Vicelinus established a house at Hogersdorf . In Harsefeld Hamburg-Bremen's Archbishop Hartwig I made him Bishop of Starigard (or Aldinborg by

210-617: The Saxons, today's Oldenburg) in 1149. There he did much for the spiritual and temporal welfare of his diocese. In 1152 he was struck by paralysis and lingered amid much suffering for two years before dying in Neumünster. After in 1330 the Augustine canon-law college moved to Bordesholm his body was transferred there too in 1332, and buried before the main altar . In 1874 the small Catholic parish at Hamelin had his picture engraved on

231-628: The archbishop. He hoped that Norbert would ordain him a priest and he could begin missionary work among the Slavs. For one reason or another this plan failed and so Vicelinus returned to Bremen, where Bishop Albero ordained him. Hamburg-Bremen's Archbishop Adalbero sent him among the Polabian Slavs , and in the fall of 1126 Henry , Prince of the Obotrites , gave him a church in Liubice , near

252-444: The chance of recovery declines rapidly, since with continued pressure, the spinal cord tissue deteriorates and dies. Another type of paralysis is caused by a fibrocartilaginous embolism. This is a microscopic piece of disc material that breaks off and becomes lodged in a spinal artery. Nerves served by the artery will die when deprived of blood. The German Shepherd Dog is especially prone to developing degenerative myelopathy . This

273-461: The decrease in muscle contraction. In invertebrates, this clearly indicates that, e.g., Microbracon (wasp genus) venom causes paralysis of the neuromuscular system by acting at a presynaptic site. Philanthus venom inhibits both the fast and slow neuromuscular system at identical concentrations. It causes a decrease in the frequency of the miniature potentials without affecting their amplitude significantly. In some species of wasp , to complete

294-435: The disc may rupture, with disc material ending up in the spinal canal, or rupturing more laterally to press on spinal nerves. A minor rupture may only result in paresis , but a major rupture can cause enough damage to cut off circulation. If no signs of pain can be elicited, surgery should be performed within 24 hours of the incident, to remove the disc material and relieve pressure on the spinal cord . After 24 hours,

315-549: The infant, which allows the spinal cord to protrude from the rest of the spine. In extreme cases, this can cause spinal cord function inferior to the missing vertebral arches to cease. This cessation of spinal cord function can result in paralysis of lower extremities. Documented cases of paralysis of the anal sphincter in newborns have been observed when spina bifida has gone untreated. While life-threatening, many cases of spina bifida can be corrected surgically if operated on within 72 hours of birth. Ascending paralysis presents in

336-602: The library of the newly founded University of Kiel . 1773-1865 the area of Bordesholm was administered by the King of Denmark by the virtue of his being Duke of Holstein . This Rendsburg-Eckernförde location article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Vizelin Vicelinus (also Vicelin , German : Vizelin ; 1086 – 12 December 1154) was a German bishop of Oldenburg in Holstein who

357-402: The lower limbs before the upper limbs. It can be associated with: Ascending paralysis contrasts with descending paralysis , which occurs in conditions such as botulism . Many animal species use paralyzing toxins to capture prey, evade predation, or both. In stimulated muscles, the decrease in frequency of the miniature potentials runs parallel to the decrease in postsynaptic potential, and to

378-463: The management of the cathedral school. Vicelinus was called to Bremen to act as teacher and principal of the school, and was offered a canonry by Archbishop Frederick of the Archbishopric of Hamburg-Bremen . In 1122 he may have gone to Laon to complete his studies under Abelard . In 1126, Vicelinus decided to travel to Magdeburg, in order to see Norbert of Xanten , who at that time was

399-417: The reproductive cycle, the female wasp paralyses a prey item such as a grasshopper and places it in her nest. In the species Philanthus gibbosus , the paralysed insect (most often a bee species) is coated in a thick layer of pollen. The adult P. gibbosus then lays eggs in the paralysed insect, which is devoured by the larvae when they hatch. A well-known example of a vertebrate-produced paralyzing toxin

420-543: The site of the later Lübeck . At the death of Henry (22 March 1127) Vicelinus returned to Bremen, and was appointed pastor at Wippenthorp . This gave him an opportunity to work among the Wagrians and neighbouring Obotrites. Vicelinus's preaching gathered crowds of eager listeners, and many priests aided him in founding the new monastery ( Latin : novum monasterium ) in 1127, which became eponymous for Wippenthorp as Neumünster . This monastery of Canons Regular followed

441-523: Was considered the apostle of Holstein . Also known as – Apostle of Obodriten, of the Wends, Vicelinus, Vincelin, Vizelin, Wissel, Witzel. Vicelinus was born in Hamelin around 1086. Orphaned at an early age, he was raised by his uncle Ludolf, a priest in a neighboring village. He left for Paderborn , where he enjoyed the home and instructions of Hartmann, and soon surpassed his companions and assisted in
