The first object is kept carefully in view throughout the book, and to compass it two chapters are devoted to the method of taking a case and the modes of examination employed. The author regards the difficulty of examining cases of nervous disease as much increased by the regional or anatomical mode of examination, and strongly advises the importance of using in all cases, except where the cra...

Ninth Edition. (Pp. 390; figs. 89. 30s.) Edinburgh and London: E. & S. Livingstone, 1958. Tiis moniograph has now attained its ninth edition in the space of eighteen years, a fact whiclh leaves one in no doubt of its popularity. As in previous editions, the book is divided into two parts. 'rle first is an admirably brief and lucid account of the principles of neurological diagnosis, and the sec...

the human brain is composed of several interconnected, functionally distinct structures and much debate has surrounded the basic question of how these structures evolve. brain development begins in early gestation. between 4 weeks and 9 months, brain undergoes rapid development. there are six stages of nervous system development. brain increases connections between birth and 21 years of age. ab...

This review highlights the achievements in the field of autoimmune diseases of the nervous system over the last 15 years. It became possible to deepen the understanding of medical and social significance of these diseases, form the concept of nosologic unit heterogeneity, describe new and atypical forms ofdemyelinating diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, autoimmune diseases o...

INTRODUCTION Evans syndrome is a rare hematological disease commonly defined as Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia. Pathophysiology of this disease involves decreased cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ T-helper cell counts, increased CD8+ T-suppressor cell counts, a decreased CD4/CD8 ratio, and reduced serum immunoglobulin G, M and A levels - indicating a complex immune...

In some neurological diseases, advanced examinations can be used as diagnostic tools. Several indicators have also been discovered that to assess the severity of neuronal damage and disease progression. Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a cytoskeleton protein makes up structure neuron axons released when injured, allowing it injury severity. NfL was first diagnose central nervous system disord...

Previous concepts of immune-privileged sites obscured the role of peripheral immune cells in neurological disorders and excluded the consideration of the potential benefits of immunotherapy. Recently, however, numerous studies have demonstrated that the blood-brain barrier in the central nervous system is an educational barrier rather than an absolute barrier to peripheral immune cells. Emergin...

Research of various diseases of the nervous system has shown that VEGF has direct neuroprotective effects in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and indirect effects on improving neuronal vessel perfusion which leads to nerve protection. In the tumors of the nervous system, VEGF plays a critical role in tumor angiogenesis and tumor progression. The effect of anti-VEGF treatment on nerve...
