Modifications of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis and brainstem lesions in the course of neuromyelitis optica (NMO): a population-based, descriptive study
BACKGROUND Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) includes transverse myelitis, optic neuritis and brain lesions. Recent studies have indicated that the brainstem is an important site of attack in NMO. Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is an important component of the clinical diagnosis of NMO. The frequency of brainstem and LETM lesions, changes over time of LETM and the clinical consequ...
متن کاملAcute corticospinal and spinal modulation after whole body vibration
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate neural effects of acute whole body vibration (WBV) on lower limb muscles regarding corticospinal and spinal excitability. METHODS In 44 healthy subjects (16 f/ 28 m), motor evoked potentials (MEP) and H-reflexes in m. soleus (SOL) and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) were elicited before (t1), immediately after (t2), 2 (t3), 4 (t4) and 10 m...
متن کاملNeuropathology of Demyelinating Diseases in Japan
We reviewed and compared the neuropathology of multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) in Japan. Demyelinating lesions of MS are well circumscribed as compared with the lesions of NMO and NMOSD, which reveal variable, irregularly shaped and ill-defined borders that extend longitudinally ...
متن کاملLongitudinally Extensive Transverse Myelitis with Intramedullary Metastasis of Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma: An Autopsy Case Report
Background. Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is characterized by spinal cord inflammation extending vertically through three or more vertebral segments. The widespread use of MRI revealed LETM more frequency than ever. We report the case of a patient with pathologically confirmed small-cell lung carcinoma metastasis into the spinal cord presenting as LETM. Case Presentation. ...
متن کاملCirculating thyroid hormone levels in children.
Extensive use of radioimmunoassay for routine measurement of serum thyroid hormones in paediatric thyroid disorders showed inconsistencies between laboratory results based upon adult criteria and clinical observation. To resolve this disparity, serum triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in 354 healthy children aged between 3 weeks and 1 7 years. The ...
