Neurological Sequelae of Sepsis: II) Neuromuscular Weakness

Critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) and critical illness myopathy (CIM) have been established as separate entities of muscular weakness in critically ill patients, although both may be associated to each other in some respects. Both are associated to systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, and severe sepsis. Major signs of nerve and muscle disturbances in critically ill patients are ...

Neurological Sequelae Resulting from Encephalitic Alphavirus Infection

The recent surge in viral clinical cases and associated neurological deficits have reminded us that viral infections can lead to detrimental, long-term effects, termed sequelae, in survivors. Alphaviruses are enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses in the Togaviridae family. Transmission of alphaviruses between and within species occurs mainly via the bite of an infected mosquito ...

Delayed neurological sequelae after carbon monoxide poisoning.

[Neurological sequelae of child abuse. Literature review].

Child abuse is both socially and medically troublesome and many times produces permanent consequences. A review of the literature is done from a neurosurgical standpoint, and the lesions produced at the Central Nervous System are evaluated in detail, including their physiopathology, neurological sequels and implications for rehabilitation treatment and the child's future life.

Neurological Sequelae of Sepsis: I) Septic Encephalopathy

Septic encephalopathy (SE) or sepsis-associated delirium is the most common encephalopathy in ICU patients. It is defined by brain dysfunction due to systemic inflammatory response syndrome and extracranial infection. Clinically, acute impairment in level of consciousness and confusion are primarily defining symptoms. Precise clinical evaluation of brain function is crucial, although the necess...
