Abstract
Within the framework of discussion about the informative value of the method of coherent analysis, results of successful clinical application of this method of EEG processing in different morbid conditions are reviewed. Not denying the theses proposed by the opponent about the imperf...

Abstract
Our objective was to review the pathophysiology and effects of HyperG and hypoglycemia in neurocritical patients and to analyze the potential role of IIT in this population. Source data were obtained from a PubMed search of the medical literature combining the terms HyperG, hypoglycemia, insulin, st...

Abstract
Mucormycosis is a rare life-threatening fungal infection occurring primarily in patients with diabetics or immunocompromised patients. The authors report a case of mucormycosis in a patient with diabetes complicated by bacterial brain abscess. The bacteria cultured from the abscess were Staphylococc...

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that the BBB is disrupted by HCA.
Forty-one piglets (mean weight 11 kg) were randomly allocated to acute and survival experiments. Five groups (25 piglets, 5 per group) underwent acute studies: anesthesia alone (control); CPB at 37°C with full-flow (FF); CPB at 25°C with v...

Abstract
A 55-year-old woman had bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), vertigo, uveitis, and aortitis associated with Cogan's syndrome (CS). She had a history of listeria meningitis and hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (HCP), both of which were considered to be related to SNHL progression. She dev...

Abstract
We describe an adolescent case of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) mimicking acute methotrexate-associated encephalopathy during chemotherapy for lymphoblastic lymphoma. Although initial presentations of hemiparesis and irritability were suggestive of acute encephalopathy, the diminished deep tendon r...

Abstract
We should keep in mind that high MET uptake is frequently observed in nontumorous brain lesions. Although differentiation from tumorous lesions is usually possible by laboratory and morphological examinations, nontumorous lesions should be included in the differential diagnosis when encountering pat...

Abstract
Cardial diseases are common causes of neurological emergencies. On the other hand, acute neurological disorders go along with systemic abnormalities, in particular they show cardial and pulmonary complications. This review is focused on the cardial consequences of cerebral lesions. Independent on th...

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is very effective for the treatment of acute experimental brain injury. In contrast to other neuroprotective methods or pharmacological agents, TH represents the only clinically proven neuroprotective therapy. TH led to a decreased mortality rate and improved functional...

Abstract
We show that a signaling pathway mediated by the DC immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-containing adaptors (DAP12 and FcRγ) and Vav family guanine nucleotide exchange factors controls the half-life of surface peptide-MHCII (pMHCII) complexes and is critical for CD4 T-cell trigger...

Abstract
We suggest these features and encephalopathy may be associated with the age of patients. Furthermore, though persistence of abnormal MRI lesions is significantly more likely in the group of CIS, none of these patients had a subsequent recurrence or developed MS during the follow-up period. The predi...

Abstract
We report a 2-year-old girl who demonstrated "benign convulsions with gastroenteritis (CwG)" with transient splenial lesions twice during the winter. The first episode was associated with noro-virus and the second with rota-virus. During each episode, seizures occurred in clusters without clinical s...

Significant decrease in mean arterial pressure, increase in heart rate, deteriorated neurological reflexes togeth...

Abstract
We have studied for the first time aneuploidy in human embryo and adult brain cells (normal and with AT, AD, and SZ) as well as in blood cells of children with autism. The level of aneuploidy was increased two- to threefold in the embryo brain with a subsequent reduction of the number of abnormal ce...

We performed the electrophysiological tests on a 38 year old woman with Hashimoto's encephalopathy. Event-related potentials showed impaired cognitive function, and somatosensory evoked potentials and motor evoked potentials showed abnormalities of central nervous system. Although the steroid pulse...

We present a 28 year old spinster with history of significant ingestion of unpasteurized cow milk and brucellosis of the brain diagnosed in our centre through brain magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) and brucella antigen agglutination test. Because of the indolent nature of brucellosis infection, it...

Abstract
We present a 6-year-old boy with tuberous sclerosis and a limited form of epileptic spasms who had, in addition, two coexisting cerebral cysticercal cysts. The association was an incidental finding, but the cerebral tubers could be mistaken for perilesional edema of cysticercal cysts, especially if...

Abstract
Narrowing down the genetic basis of Down syndrome, in which hundreds of genes are triplicated, has been difficult. A new study finds that the expression of two affected genes, Olig1 and Olig2, is critical for maintaining the balance of inhibitory and excitatory signaling in a mouse model of Down syn...

We used a rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion to determine whether green tea polyphenols, which are potent antioxidants and free radical scavengers, can reduce vascular cognitive impairment and to investigate their underlying mechanisms of action. Different doses of green tea polyphenols wer...

Fifteen studies were analysed (11 772 participants). The meta-analysis showed that (1) the relative risk of epilepsy in individuals with coeliac disease, and of coeliac disease in individuals with epilepsy, compared with the general population, was 2.1 and 1.7, respectively, and the risk difference...

We introduced a novel method [based on quantitative R2* (1/T2*) histograms] for estimating the severity of brain tissue damage in MS lesions. We applied at 1.5T an advanced, multi-gradient echo MRI technique [gradient echo plural contrast imaging (GEPCI)] to obtain images of the brains of healthy co...

This strain was identical to the Vancouver Island outbreak strain R265. Our results suggest that this virulent strain has spread to regions outside North Americ...

Negative bacterial and viral screening eliminated a septic origin. In this child, impaired thermoregulatory response to acute hyperpyrexia resulting from complete quadriplegia could be the necessary condition for the development of HSES in the presence of acute hyperpyrexia of unknown origin.
