9. Neuro-Behçet's Disease

Neuro-Behçets in a Child

We describe a case of neuro-Behçet disease diagnosed in a 12-year-old girl. This patient presented with recurrent oral ulcers, incontinence, spastic gait, blurry vision, and asymmetrical lower extremity hypertonia. Extensive testing revealed punctate lesions through the central nervous system, vitritis, papillitis, and uveitis. A thorough infectious and neoplastic workup was negative. She was t...

Neuro-neutrophilic disease: neuro-Behçet disease and neuro-Sweet disease.

“Neuro-Sweet disease (NSD)” was proposed as a distinct entity of encephalomeningitis in 1999 (1). Sweet disease has been considered as a multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by painful erythematous plaques, and has been classified as a dermatologic disease. The plaques respond to systemic corticosteroids, and heal without scarring. It has been disclosed that aseptic neutrophilic infl...

Elevated levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the cerebrospinal fluid of neuro-Behçet's disease.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-) are involved in leukocyte invasion into the central nervous system (CNS) during inflammation. In a retrospective cohort study of 18 neuro-BD patients, CSF samples were studied for MMP-9, TIMP-1 and cell characteristics in neuro-BD patients compared to 12 Headache attributed to BD (HaBD) patients, 15 multiple sclerosis (MS) and 20 Non-inflammatory Neurological Di...

Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease using Neuro-fuzzy-based Method

Background & Aim: Coronary artery disease is one of the most common diseases in different societies. Coronary angiography is established as one of the best methods for diagnosis of this disease. Angiography is an invasive and costly method. Furthermore, it is associated with risks such as death, heart attack, and stroke. Thus, this study introduces a neuro-fuzzy-based method which can help the ...
