Several techniques are now available for the quantitative and qualitative examination of CSF proteins modified during the course of neurological disease. The CSF and serum of 42 patients suffering from various neurological diseases and of 7 controls were examined using quantitative methods-single radial immunodiffusion, nephelometric analysis-and qualitative methods—(i) isoelectric-focusing on pol...... hiện toàn bộ
Bilateral periventricular nodular heterotopia associated with coeliac disease and palatoschisisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 180-183 - 1998
D. Intiso, R. Cioffi, P. Di Viesti, P. Simone, P. Tonali
Periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) is considered a distinct entity in relation to the other forms of neuronal migration disorders (NMD), because PNH patients usually have normal neurological and mental examination results. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with bilateral periventricular nodular heterotopia associated with epilepsy, coeliac disease, palatoschisis and other dysmorphic...... hiện toàn bộ
Avoidance conditioning in amnesia: a single case experimental studySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 193-198 - 1989
C. Blundo, C. Ricci
We present a single case study of avoidance conditioning in a seriously amnesic patient with bilateral ischemic lesions of the brain. A four-path maze was used for conditioning. The procedure consisted in an aversive stimulus that the patient received every time he traced one of the four maze-paths connected to an electric shock generator with a stylus. Using a single case experimental design A-B-...... hiện toàn bộ
Endocrine function changes in young males during long-term antiepileptic therapy with phenobarbitone and carbamazepineSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 331-336 - 1987
L. Rozza, A. Marcolla, G. Ferrari
The effects of long-term antiepileptic combined therapy with phenobarbitone (PB) and carbamazepine (CBZ) on the major endocrine functions were evaluated in a selected group of 15 young males with partial epilepsy. The plasma basal levels of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), free thyroxine (FT4), thyrotropin (TSH), cortisol (CO), dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S), adrenocorticotropin (AC...... hiện toàn bộ
A new method for analyzing smooth-pursuit eye movementsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 537-544 - 1991

The study of ocular movements has been increasingly used to detect subtle pathological modifications, caused by a wide variety of neurological diseases. We have developed a new microcomputer-based method for the analysis of smoothpursuit ocular movements induced by constant velocity targets moving unpredictably at different velocities (including velocity values as high as 100 deg/s). The ocular mo...... hiện toàn bộ
Aphasia and apraxia caused by ischemic damage to the white substance of the dominant hemisphereSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 97-100 - 1989
I. Sanguineti, E. Agostoni, U. Aiello, P. Apale, G. Bogliun, M. Tagliabue
We describe a case of aphasia associated with ideomotor apraxia due to a CT-proven ischemic lesion strictly confined to the dominant hemisphere white substance at the junctional zone of Donnan. The aphasia did not fit any of the known patterns. At first severe, it cleared in 5 days, while the apraxia remained unchanged 25 days after onset.
Cardiovascular reflexes in Parkinson diseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 437-442 - 1993
R. Martín, R. Manzanares, J. M. Moltó, T. Canet, C. Ruiz, J. Matías-Guiu
We have investigated the autonomic function of 95 patients with Parkinson disease (PD) by testing their cardiovascular reflexes and compared the results with those of 53 healthy volunteers. 51.1% of the patients were on antiparkinsonian therapy. The patients showed a smaller heart rate response to deep breathing with a mean exhalation-inspiration difference of 87.73±7 (p: 0.0005), a smaller heart ...... hiện toàn bộ
Neurological complications of herpes zosterSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 559-565 - 1990
D. Guidetti, E. Gabbi, L. Motti, G. Ferrarini
We report 31 cases of herpes zoster (HZ) with neurological complications: 14 with cranial nerve deficits, 1 with cranial nerve deficit associated with segmental motor disorder, 3 with segmental motor, deficits, 2 with meningoencephalitis, 2 with meningoencephalitis associated with cranial neuropaty or myelitis, 2 with meningitis, 2 with hemiplegia contralateral to the ophthalmic HZ, 1 with hemiple...... hiện toàn bộ
