Autonomic auras: left hemispheric predominance of epileptic generators of cold shivers and goose bumps?
PURPOSE Autonomic seizures in temporal lobe epilepsies associated with "cold shivers and goose bumps" as a principal ictal sign or aura have only rarely been studied. METHODS Sixteen patients with autonomic auras [cold shivers or cold sweats (n=11), goose bumps (n=4), one patient showed both ictal signs] were analyzed. RESULTS Lesions were detected in 12 patients. The etiology was heterogen...
متن کاملHemispheric predominance of abnormal findings in electroencephalogram (EEG)
The EEGs of 13,560 patients have been reviewed in order to determine whether abnormal findings, epileptiform or not, have a hemispheric dominance. We have included outpatients and hospitalized patients as well. Eight hundred and thirty-five EEGs had generalized abnormal findings, and 414 EEGs had lateralized abnormal findings. The EEGs of 322 patients (77.7%) had a left predominance, and those ...
متن کاملInter-hemispheric asymmetry of nigrostriatal dopaminergic lesion: a possible compensatory mechanism in Parkinson’s disease
The onset of Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by focal motor features in one body part, which are usually correlated with greater dopaminergic depletion in the contralateral posterior putamen. The role of dopamine (DA) hemispheric differences in the onset and progression of motor symptoms of PD, however, remains undefined. Previous studies have demonstrated that unilateral manipulation...
متن کاملLeft ventricular systolic dysfunction in rheumatoid disease.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to ascertain whether left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is more common among clinic patients with rheumatoid disease (RD) compared with the general population, and to assess the diagnostic utility of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). BACKGROUND Patients with RD are at increased risk of ischemic heart disease. However, there are few large echocardiographic s...
متن کاملEarly Left-Hemispheric Dysfunction of Face Processing in Congenital Prosopagnosia: An MEG Study
BACKGROUND Congenital prosopagnosia is a severe face perception impairment which is not acquired by a brain lesion and is presumably present from birth. It manifests mostly by an inability to recognise familiar persons. Electrophysiological research has demonstrated the relevance to face processing of a negative deflection peaking around 170 ms, labelled accordingly as N170 in the electroenceph...
