Biomarkers for the prediction of vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia in patients with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm could be helpful. In this prospective clinical study, endothelin-1, lactate, pCO2, and pO2 were measured in arterial and internal jugular vein blood before, during and after surgical treatment of a cerebral aneurysm, and were tested as potential predictors of neurologic outcome...

Novel coronavirus disease 2019 is a viral infectious which commonly involve the lungs with primarily radiologic manifestations of atypical or organizing pneumonia. It can cause multisystemic involvement including central nervous system symptoms. One these neurologic posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). suggested that increased levels cytokines and inflammatory mediators in cours...

Among clinicians, it is common practice to include parents in treatment, and it has been taken for granted that parents' involvement in their children's treatment is beneficial for therapy outcome, although research on this issue is far from clear. A meta-analysis was carried out in order to investigate whether parent involvement potentiates the outcome for children with anxiety disorders when ...

    Human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) types 1 and 2 belong to the Oncorna group of retroviridae, a large family of viruses, grouped initially by pathogenic features, but later revised on the basis of genome structure and nucleotide sequence. HTLV-I was the first discovered human retrovirus to be associated with a malignancy in 1980. The malignancy, first described by Uchiyama and co-worker...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess neuromotor function at school age in children who had cerebral infarction on neonatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). DESIGN Twenty-two children with evidence of cerebral infarction on neonatal brain MRI (18 with arterial infarction and 4 with border-zone lesions) were assessed at school age with a structured neurologic examination and the Movem...

BACKGROUND Inherited deficiency of phosophomannomutase (PMM2) causes a human glycosylation disorder known as Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation Ia. CASE PRESENTATION Herein, we describe a case of congenital disorder of glycosylation Ia, presented with recurrent pericardial effusion and unusual findings of inverted nipples, fat pads, reduced deep-tendon reflexes and multisystem involvement. ...

We report the case of a 44 year old man diagnosed with AS, with peripheral involvement, ten years ago. The patient suffered an accidental fall and he was attended the emergency room for neck pain without motor or sensory disorders. In the cervical spine radiographs no obvious changes are evident, so it was performed computerized tomography (CT) (Figure 1). He was diagnosed with non-displaced od...

The authors describe a case of neuropathy characterized by involvement of most of the right cranial nerves, the initial symptom of which was tinnitus. The most likely etiopathogenetic hypothesis seems to be the paraneoplastic syndrome in which a primitive neurogenic axon lesion is more likely, although a myelinopathic lesion cannot be ruled out. It is feasible to suggest that the tinnitus was c...

The diagnosis is primarily based on clinical criteria because there are no specific diagnostic laboratory tests available and because of the non-specificity of the histopathologic findings. The multiorgan involvement of Behcet’s disease can be characterized. Here we will describe the radiological findings consisting of pulmonary, cardiovascular, neurologic, and abdominal involvement in Behcet’s...
