A 4 yrs old female child was admitted with left hemiparesis and unconsciousness and a short history of neurological impairment, changing neurological signs with progress of the disease and most of relevant laboratory investigations being normal, child underwent MRI and MRA which revealed features of Moya moya disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine the decrease of neurological soft signs (NSS) during adolescence and to compare this evolutionary process in two groups of adolescents with first episode psychosis: a) schizophrenia and b) non-schizophrenia patients. The structured neurological evaluation scale (NES) was administered to 24 adolescents with first episode psychosis. The number of NSS, the...

The aim of the study was to compare the neurological soft signs (NSS) in schizophrenia patients with and without first rank symptoms (FRS), their first degree relatives (FDR), and normal controls. The study was conducted on 60 schizophrenia patients diagnosed according to ICD 10 DCR and categorized into groups with and without FRS using Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry, 30 F...

Methyl bromide (CH 3 Br) is a practically odourless, highly toxic and penetrating volatile aliphatic hydrocarbon derivative that has been widely used in agriculture as a fumigant against rodents, insects, mites, and a range of pathogenic organisms in soil, compost, and timber. According to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, it should have been phased-out of from u...

BACKGROUND Although minor motor and sensory deficits, or neurological soft signs (NSS), are a well-established finding in schizophrenia, the cerebral changes underlying these signs are only partly understood. We therefore investigated the cerebral correlates of NSS by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls. METHOD Forty-two patients, all rec...

Secondary hypertension is the most frequent form of hypertension in children. Renovascular disease accounts for 5-10% of all childhood hypertension and should be suspected in the presence of severe hypertension found difficult to manage with medical therapy. Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to severe target organ damage. We describe the case of a 13-month-old baby boy with failure to thrive, ...

Schizophrenia patients have higher scores on neurological soft-signs (NSS) and show greater deficits on a variety of neuropsychological tests than normal control subjects and mixed groups of psychiatric patients. Among chronic schizophrenia patients it is unclear which of these types of deficits most strongly differentiates patients who remain consistently symptomatic in spite of treatment with...

Cerebral infarcts are the third most common cause of death in Spain and the leading cause of physical disability in adults. Twenty-five per cent of all strokes occur in people younger than 65. Cardiac tumours are a very rare disease with an incidence that ranges from 0.001% to 0.28% in post-mortem studies. Half of such tumours are of myxomatous origin. They are an infrequent cause of cerebral e...
