BACKGROUND Hallucinosis is a complication of the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease commonly thought to afflict older, chronically medicated, cognitively impaired patients. However, patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease of short duration experiencing hallucinosis on relatively low doses of dopaminergic medication have been found. The aim, therefore, was to investigate the homoge...

introduction: differentiating between ischemic cardiomyopathy (icm) and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (idcm) is important as coronary revascularization can improve prognosis in the ischemic subgroup. due to inherent problems of coronary angiography in patients with depressed ejection fraction (ef) introducing a noninvasive tool to diagnose those who will benefit from angiography seems to be...

In male infertility, all possible known causes should be carefully evaluated and if detected, targeted treatment options for the cause implemented. The of infertility such as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, hyperprolactinemia, genital tract infections, disorders ejaculation, thyroid hormone varicocele can treated efficiently by therapies or surgical corrections. Unfortunately, these cover about ...

Sleep and respiration during sleep were studied in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, patients with Parkinsonism with autonomic disturbance, and normal age and sex matched controls. Patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease showed significantly reduced REM sleep, and more frequent and prolonged waking throughout the night. Hypoventilation and sleep apnoea did not occur in the idio...

Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip is an uncommon disorder characterized by progressive destruction and ultimate loss articular cartilage joint. While trauma, infection immobilisation can lead to hip, exact underlying cause for idiopathic not clearly defined. Studies have suggested immunological aetiology chondrolysis. Imaging studies including plain radiography MRI scanning are useful in diagn...

Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis is a rare idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. It was first described in 2004 and subsequently included in the ATS/ERS classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia in 2013. There have been few cases reported so far. The diagnostic criteria is still emerging and its etiology is being questioned. We report a case of pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis...

Objective In spite of growing evidence of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a viewpoint about clinical care for idiopathic NPH is still controversial. A continuous divergence of viewpoints might be due to confusing classifications of idiopathic and adult-onset congenital NPH. To elucidate the classification of NPH, we propose that adult-onset congenital NPH should be explicitly di...

Since Atkinson first described idiopathic rupture of a normal spleen in 1874, there has been controversy regarding the application of the terms "idiopathic" and "spontaneous". One such case is reported, and the validity of the description "idiopathic" or "spontaneous" discussed.

during a period of three years from 1996 to 1998, 124 infants (64 male and 60 female) with an age range of 1-6 months (mean age 1.5 months) with cholestasis were studied. idiopathic neonatal hepatitis was the most common cause of cholestasis, accounting for 48 cases with a rate of 3'8.70% in a total of 124 patients, followed by galactosemia in 29 patients (23.38%) and extrahepatic biliary ...
