NMDA receptors in nervous system diseases

NMDA receptors in nervous system diseases

NMDA receptor (NMDAR) dysfunction has emerged as a common theme in several major nervous system disorders, including ischemic brain injury, chronic neurodegenerative diseases, pain, depression and schizophrenia. Either hyperactivity or hypofunction of NMDARs could contribute to disease pathophysiology. It is likely that distinct subtypes of NMDARs (as defined by subunit composition and/or subsy...

O 30: Peripheral Nervous System Diseases and Inflammation

Inflammatory neuropathies may be due to infection (with a specific casual agent identified) including Lyme disease, HIV, Leprosy, Herpes Zoster, Hepatitis B & C. The other group of are Autoimmune or possibly infectious (but with no specific causal infectious agent identified) including sarcoidosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome/ acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy ( AIDP), chronic in...

P159: New Findings in The Diagnosis of Autoimmune Diseases of the Nervous System

The antibody of the nervous system is called antibodies that the body makes to the nervous system cells. These antibodies are also very diverse based on the complexity and diversity of the nervous system, and therefore their detection is also associated with particular challenges. Generally, autoimmune diseases are on the rise. The diagnostic techniques for autoimmune diseases are also in progr...

Diseases of the Nervous System

Recklinghousen in 1891 were not examples of osteitis fibrosa generalisata and hence of hyperaparathyroidism, but were suffering from "polyostotic fibrous dysplasia." The book concludes with an account of Paget's disease, vith an ingenious, if not very satisfactory, attempt to explain its pathological physiology. It, however, has some useful points in treatment, one or two glasses of milk daily ...
