Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS COV 2) infection is associated with multiple neurological complications. Cerebrovascular accidents are considered as one of the common neurological complications associated with corona virus (COVID-19). It may represent the first presentation of the patients of COVID-19 or may occur anytime during the course of the disease. This study included ...... hiện toàn bộ

Vitamin D deficiency has been proposed as a risk factors of cerebrovascular stroke. The aim of this study was firstly, to assess the serum level of vitamin D in cerebral stroke patients and secondly, to examine if its deficiency was associated with stroke severity and outcome. We utilized a case-control study design and recruited 138 acute stroke patients and 138 age- and sex-matched controls from...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract
Background
In relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) the connection between cognitive impairment (CI) and white matter lesion load (WM-LL) and location is still unclear. This study aimed to identify the relationship between CI in RRMS patients and WM-LL and locations using a fully au...... hiện toàn bộ

Vitamin D is suggested to play an important role in neurodegenerative disorders. To examine the association between serum 25 vitamin D3 and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Fifty patients suffering from PD and fifty age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects were included in the study. Patients were subjected to complete clinical assessment, and Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) was done ...... hiện toàn bộ
Relation between serum amylin level and epilepsyThe Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery - Tập 56 - Trang 1-5 - 2020
Necla Benlier, Gokhan Ozer, Nuri Orhan
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by convulsions. Identification of biological pathways underlying epilepsy and novel genes may shed light on the pathogenesis of epilepsy as well as new targets for treatment. Amylin is cosecreted with insulin from the pancreatic β-cells in a pulsatile manner as a response to nutrient stimuli. In vitro studies have shown the neurotoxicity potential ...... hiện toàn bộ
Transcranial Doppler assessment of patients with cerebral small vessel diseaseThe Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery - Tập 58 - Trang 1-7 - 2022
Mohamed M. Tawfik, Alaa Ebrahim, Salma Hamed, Mahmoud Haroun
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is associated with acute events such as lacunar and hemorrhagic strokes, or chronic events such as cognitive deficit in the form of subcortical dementia, mood deficit in the form of late onset depression, sphincteric affection, and gait apraxia. Under conditions of moderate blood flow deficit, the inability of sclerotic vessels to dilate due to impairment of the...... hiện toàn bộ
Value of MUNE versus compound muscle action potential in assessing motor unit loss in patients with carpal tunnel syndromeThe Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery - Tập 60 - Trang 1-8 - 2024
Safa Dheaa Al-Den Abdul-Muneem, Hussein Ghani Kaddoori
The most prevalent nerve entrapment disorder, known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), is brought on by wrist-based median nerve compression. Focal demyelination progresses to axonal dysfunction as the condition worsens. In order to detect motor unit (MU) loos, this study compares two motor unit number estimation (MUNE) techniques with compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude. The CMAP ampl...... hiện toàn bộ
High-resolution neuromuscular ultrasound-based diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome in a sample of Egyptian populationThe Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery - Tập 57 - Trang 1-4 - 2021
Ahmed ElSadek, Mai Fathy, Amr AbdElMoneim
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the commonest entrapment neuropathy. The cut-off point of cross-sectional area to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome may vary among populations. The objective of this study was to determine the best cut-off point of median nerve cross-sectional area to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome among Egyptian population and to compare the difference of median nerve cross-sectional area...... hiện toàn bộ
