PURPOSE Glufosinate poisoning can cause neurologic complications that may be difficult to treat due to delayed manifestation. Studies assessing possible predictors of complications are lacking. Although serum ammonia level is a potential predictor of severe neurotoxicity, it has only been assessed via case reports. Therefore, we investigated factors that predict neurologic complications in acut...

A shift in focus in the field of neuroHIV was clearly manifest at the 2014 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), where a major emphasis was on the milder forms of neurologic morbidity, including cognitive impairment, seen in well-treated patients. Mechanisms of this persistent abnormality were investigated, including extensive analysis of the prevalence and association...

Neurologic complications are frequent after liver transplantation and are the cause of significant morbidity and mortality. A substantial proportion of the neurologic complications encountered after transplant is iatrogenic--the consequence of the harsh therapeutic interventions required to maintain function of the transplanted liver. The preoperative condition of the patient is also a major de...
