We must not, however, lay too much stress on the copious shedding of tears by the insane, as being due to the lack of all restraint; for certain brain-diseases, as hemiplegia, brain-wasting, and senile decay, have a special tendency to induce weeping. Terminology
Historically, there have been a variety of terms used for the disorder, including pseudobulbar affect, pathological laughter and crying, emotional lability, emotionalism, emotional dysregulation, or more recently, involuntary emotional expression disorder. The term pseudobulbar (pseudo- + bulbar) came from the idea that the symptoms seemed similar to those caused by a bulbar lesion (that is, a lesion in the medulla oblongata). Terms such as forced crying, involuntary crying, pathological emotionality, and emotional incontinence have also been used, although less frequently. In popular culture
Arthur Fleck, the central character of the 2019 film Joker, displays signs of pseudobulbar affect, which are said to be what Joaquin Phoenix used as inspiration for his characters signature laugh. In the 2019 movie Parasite, the character Ki-woo sustains head trauma, and although it is not clearly mentioned that hes affected by pseudobulbar affect, he mentions not being able to stop laughing when thinking about all the events that occur in the movie. In the medical television show House, season 7, episode 8 ("Small Sacrifices"), the character Ramon Silva, played by Kuno Becker displays pseudobulbar affect, with uncontrollable incongruent laughter, while having the Marburg variety of multiple sclerosis.
Amnion nodosum are nodules found on the amnion, and is frequently present in oligohydramnios. The nodules are composed of squamous cell aggregates derived from the vernix caseosa on the fetal skin. Amnion nodosum is caused by the unexpected abrasion of amnion with depositions of the fetal surface cells and acellular debris on the eroded areas(due to moderate or severe oligohydramnios, the amnion can get "touch" with the fetal skin). Amnion nodosum and oligohydramnios are associated with pulmonary hypoplasia and renal agenesis. Amnion nodosum is granules on amnion whereas whitish nodules on the cord suggest a candidal infection. == References ==
