The Impact of Fatigue on Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Tập 21 Số 1 - Trang 9-14 - 1994
ABSTRACT:Although fatigue is recognized as a symptom of MS, there have been
insufficient methods for evaluating this symptom. We administered the Fatigue
Impact Scale to 85 MS patients and 20 hypertensive patients. Neurologic
impairment, mental health, and general health status were also assessed. MS
patients reported significantly higher fatigue impact than hypertensive
patients. Most MS patients...
3-Nitropropionic Acid - Exogenous Animal Neurotoxin and Possible Human Striatal Toxin
Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 492-498 - 1991
ABSTRACT:3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) — a suicide inhibitor of succinate
dehydrogenase — is a widely distributed plant and fungal neurotoxin known to
induce damage to basal ganglia, hippocampus, spinal tracts and peripheral nerves
in animals. Recent reports from Northern China indicate that 3-NPA is also
likely to be responsible for the development of putaminal necrosis with delayed
dystonia in c...
Hemispherectomy for Seizures Revisited
Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 71-78 - 1983
SUMMARY:The serious, late complication of superficial cerebral hemosiderosis,
which appears after several years in 1/4–1/3 of patients who have undergone
hemispherectomy, has resulted in recent years in a considerable reluctance to
carry out this operation despite the fact it has proved to be highly effective
in patients with medically refractory seizures associated with hemiplegia.

Does the Engram of Kindling Model the Engram of Normal Long Term Memory?
Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang 385-394 - 1975
SUMMARY:The kindling effect is a relatively permanent alteration in brain
function which results from repeated electrical or chemical stimulation and
culminates in the appearance of electrographic and behavioral convulsions
whenever the original stimulus is reapplied. The effect results from tetanic
activation in the anterior cortex, limbic system or associated areas of the
adult mammalian brain, ...
Neurological Manifestations in COVID-19 Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Tập 48 Số 1 - Trang 66-76 - 2021
ABSTRACT:Background:Growing evidence showed that coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) infection may present with neurological manifestations. This review
aimed to determine the neurological manifestations and complications in
COVID-19.Methods:We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis that
included cohort and case series/reports involving a population of patients
confirmed with COVID-19 inf...
Cortical Excitability in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Clue to Pathogenesis
Tập 20 Số 1 - Trang 11-16 - 1993
ABSTRACT:Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were recorded from selected non-wasted,
non-denervated hand muscles in 40 patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(ALS) with both upper and lower motor neuron signs. In most the compound muscle
action potential (CMAP) of the target muscle was normal. Compared to the control
group, cortical threshold in ALS varied considerably and there was a significant
...
The Increased Susceptibility of Women to Multiple Sclerosis
Tập 19 Số 4 - Trang 466-471 - 1992
ABSTRACT:Many diseases with an auto-immune etiology have a skewed sex
distribution. In the majority of instances, women are affected more frequently
than men. A review of population studies demonstrates that the preponderance of
women in multiple sclerosis (MS) is almost constant. We show that this
preponderance is further increased in early as well as in late-onset cases, in
familial cases as wel...
Guam ALS/Parkinsonism-Dementia: A Long-Latency Neurotoxic Disorder Caused by “Slow Toxin(s)” in Food?
Tập 14 Số S3 - Trang 347-357 - 1987
ABSTRACT:Parkinsonism (P) with progressive dementia (D) of the Alzheimer type is
recognized as a clinical variant of a form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS) that has occurred in high incidence among the Chamorro people of the
islands of Guam and Rota in the Marianas chain of Micronesia. The declining
annual incidence, upward shifting of the age of onset, narrowing of the sex
ratio, and occur...
Stigma of Epilepsy
Tập 35 Số 4 - Trang 436-440 - 2008
Epilepsy directly affects 50 million people worldwide.Most can achieve excellent
seizure control; however, people living with epilepsy continue to suffer from
enacted or perceived stigma that is based on myths, misconceptions and
misunderstandings that have persisted for thousands of years. This paper reviews
the frequency and nature of stigma toward epilepsy. Significant negative
attitudes prevai...
Acute Hydrocephalus Following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 40-45 - 1996
ABSTRACT:Background:Acute hydrocephalus is a potentially treatable cause of
early neurological deterioration after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
(§AH).Methods:A retrospective study of 105 consecutive cases of aneurysmal SAH
was undertaken to determine those factors significantly related to the
development of acute hydrocephalus. Acute hydrocephalus was diagnosed when the
bicaudate index was g...
