Bilateral Pathological Damage in Temporal Lobe EpilepsyCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences - Tập 18 Số S4 - Trang 645-648 - 1991
Thomas L. Babb
ABSTRACT:Patients with drug-refractory temporal lobe epilepsy can be treated
successfully with surgical resection of one temporal lobe, especially when the
resection includes the hippocampus. Although intrahippocampal recordings usually
localize seizure onsets to one hippocampus, there are bilaterally-independent
interictal spikes, occasional contralateral seizure onsets and post-resection
seizure... hiện toàn bộ
Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension in the Absence of Magnetic Resonance Imaging AbnormalitiesCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 253-257 - 2002
Kerrie Schoffer, Timothy Benstead, Ian Grant
Background:Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a neurologic syndrome
of unknown etiology, characterized by features of low cerebral spinal fluid
(CSF) pressure, postural headache and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
abnormalities.Methods:Four symptomatic cases of SIH presented to our institution
over a six-month period. Magnetic resonance imaging studies were performed in
all four cases.... hiện toàn bộ
Multimodal Evoked Potential Studies in Leukodystrophies of ChildrenCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences - Tập 15 Số 1 - Trang 26-31 - 1988
Linda J. De Meirleir, Margot J. Taylor, William J. Logan
ABSTRACT:Evoked potentials were studied in 22 children with leukodystrophy [10
metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), 4 Pelizaeus-Merzbacher (PM), 3 Krabbes, 2
adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), and one each of Alexander's, Canavan's and multiple
sulphatase deficiency (MSD) diseases]. The ABRs were abnormal in all patients
(except for the younger ALD), but varied with the type of leukodystrophy. The PM

Stigma of EpilepsyCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences - Tập 35 Số 4 - Trang 436-440 - 2008
Nancy F. Bandstra, Carol Camfield, Peter Camfield
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... hiện toàn bộ
The Insular Cortex and the Pathophysiology of Stroke-Induced Cardiac ChangesCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences - Tập 19 Số 2 - Trang 208-211 - 1992
Stephen Oppenheimer
ABSTRACT:Over the past fifty years considerable clinical evidence has accrued to
demonstrate involvement of the cerebral cortex in cardiac function. Hemispheric
stroke is often associated with electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of cardiac
repolarisation abnormalities. In addition strokes of all types are associated
with specific pathological changes in the ventricular myocardium (myocytolysis).

Guam ALS/Parkinsonism-Dementia: A Long-Latency Neurotoxic Disorder Caused by “Slow Toxin(s)” in Food?Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences - Tập 14 Số S3 - Trang 347-357 - 1987
Peter S. Spencer
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... hiện toàn bộ
Nonmotor Symptoms and Cognitive Decline in de novo Parkinson’s DiseaseCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences - Tập 41 Số 5 - Trang 597-602 - 2014
Kyum‐Yil Kwon, Sung Hoon Kang, Minjik Kim, Hye Mi Lee, Ji Wan Jang, Ju Yeon Kim, Seon-Min Lee, Seong‐Beom Koh
AbstractBackgroundCognitive impairments are common in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Despite its clinical importance, the development of dementia is still difficult
to predict. In this study, we investigated the possible associations between
non-motor symptoms and the risk of developing dementia within a 2-year
observation period in PD.MethodsA total of 80 patients with PD participated in
this study. N... hiện toàn bộ
Acute Hydrocephalus Following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid HemorrhageCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences - Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 40-45 - 1996
Vivek Mehta, Renn O. Holness, Kieran M. Connolly, Simon Walling, Richard Hall
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... hiện toàn bộ
