Electronystagmographic criteria in neuro - otological diagnosis 2 Central nervous system lesions STAVROS KORRES

SUM MARY Direct current electronystagmographic recordings of spontaneous nystagmus in light, in darkness, and with eye closure have been carried out on (a) 33 patients with acoustic neurinomata pressing on the brain stem, and (b) 10 patients with lesions involving the brain stem at a high level. Patterns of response characteristics of each group have been identified in 21 out of 28 cases of gro...

Electronystagmographic criteria in neuro-otological diagnosis. 1. Peripheral lesions.

Direct current electronystagmographic recordings of spontaneous nystagmus, in the light, in darkness, and with eye closure were carried out on 34 patients with peripheral lesions of the vestibular system with a view to determining their specificity. In 60% of patients the responses were characterised by an enhancement of the nystagmus both with eye closure and in darkness. The remainder exhibit...

iTRAQ-based proteomics profiling of Schwann cells before and after peripheral nerve injury

Objective(s): Schwann cells (SCs) have a wide range of applications as seed cells in the treatment of nerve injury during transplantation. However, there has been no report yet on kinds of proteomics changes that occur in Schwann cells before and after peripheral nerve injury.Materials and Methods: Activated Schwann cells (ASCs) and normal Schwann cells (NSCs) were obtained from adult Wistar ra...

A Case Report of Primary Angiitis of the Central Nervous System

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is an inflammatory vasculitis with very low frequency and prevalence. It is not clear why the inflammatory process of this disease is limited to cerebrovascular disease without systemic manifestations. A case of primary angiitis of the central nervous system with cerebrovascular manifestations is reported here.  C...
