Neurological Disturbances Caused by Nutritional Deficit

Acute Symptomatic Seizures Caused by Electrolyte Disturbances.

In this narrative review we focus on acute symptomatic seizures occurring in subjects with electrolyte disturbances. Quite surprisingly, despite its clinical relevance, this issue has received very little attention in the scientific literature. Electrolyte abnormalities are commonly encountered in clinical daily practice, and their diagnosis relies on routine laboratory findings. Acute and seve...

Interface Disturbances Caused by Plane Elastic Pulses

In this article the work of Comninou, Dundurs and co-authors on the subject of interface disturbances caused by plane elastic pulses is briefly reviewed. Some paradoxical aspects occurring at high coefficients of friction are pointed out. Some new results are also presented. Introduction If two elastic solids are perfectly bonded, the interface is described as bilateral because it can transmit ...

Neurological disturbances in ankylosing spondylitis.

Case history A 56 year old man presented with a seven week history of tingling in both buttocks associated with numbness of the right buttock which radiated down the back of the leg to the level of the knee. He also gave a four year history of numbness along the heel and sole of the right foot. There was no motor symptoms. No specific urinary or bowel symptoms were evident. In the past he had e...

Neurological diseases caused by ion-channel mutations.

During the past decade, mutations in several ion-channel genes have been shown to cause inherited neurological diseases. This is not surprising given the large number of different ion channels and their prominent role in signal processing. Biophysical studies of mutant ion channels in vitro allow detailed investigations of the basic mechanism underlying these 'channelopathies'. A full understan...
