Modern neurorehabilitation promises to revolutionize standard interventions for CNS impairments in domains traditionally dominated by physiotherapy. Functional neuroimaging models have greatly increased understanding of underlying mechanisms contributing to brain pathology, enabling improved diagnosis and targeted therapy.
Floppy infant syndrome comprises a broad spectrum of etiological abnormalities that pose considerable diagnostic challenge. Current genetic and molecular methodologies have streamlined diagnostic algorithms and significantly advanced their resolution. Prospects for genetic therapy, however, are mixed, and likely to be restricted by the anatomical complexity of stable, central motor functions.
In order to support the effectiveness of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to enhance the WELFARE of laboratory animals comparative studies have been performed. In particular NIRS has been coupled with MRI as these are two major in vivo non invasive methodologies more and more applied in research.
Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) are frequently reported. Prominence following cardiac surgery and particularly associated with pediatric adnexal surgery in non-menstruating females is less well documented but nonetheless anecdotally known to anesthetists and adnexal surgeons. Risk of PONV, based on four independent risk predictors, may be assessed using scoring systems such as Apfel; however, Apfel is dependent upon age and guidelines are available for adults undergoing surgery...
Basal ganglia calcifications in the pediatric population are an unusual finding and in radiologic studies, have been noted in between 1-2% of patients in that age group. The causes for calcification are myriad but most commonly include tumors, congenital infections and tuberous sclerosis. The current report describes a case of a 17-year-old female with Down syndrome (trisomy 21) who presented with agitation, dry cough, decreased appetite, and fever. She experienced a 3 minute apneic episode followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation...
We tried to clarify the results of elderly meningioma based on the literature review. We searched the PubMed database using the terms "meningioma," "elderly," and "surgery" for English-language clinical studies and collected related papers published from 2003 to 2018. Twenty-four papers were reviewed and a total number of cases was 10,009. The mean rate of tumor size over 40mm in diameter was 62.8%, 38.9% of location was skull base related, and 30.7% of the cases was asymptomatic cases.
The systematic position of the lamprey, as one of only two extant jawless vertebrate, makes its ear of particular interest from evolutionary, developmental and physiological standpoints. Studying the ear of the lamprey could give us insight into the morphology of the archetype/prototype ear of lamprey/jawed vertebrates' ancestor. Moreover, the seemingly simple neural circuits that relay information between the ear and brain to control gaze and posture could help us better understand the complex circuitry underlying vestibuloocular and vestibulospinal reflexes in a more derived vertebrates.
When patients present to emergency department (ED) with acute focal neurological deficit sometimes it is hard to make decision about IV thrombolysis. In such situation a neurologist needs to make a judgement call about it. According to some studies IV thrombolysis is safe for patients with stroke mimics, but small possibility of hemorrhage still exists. Furthermore, unnecessary IV thrombolysis in stroke mimics significantly increases cost of care. We aimed to determine if presence of headache in patients with focal neurological deficit during stroke alert makes a difference in neurologist's decision about IV thrombolysis.
Disorders of consciousness (DOC) are a clinically significant and personally tragic class of health impairments posing significant diagnostic challenge. Uncertainties in the understanding of consciousness and the inability of patients to communicate their physical status pose obstacles to the resolution of states with overlapping manifestations.
