To date over 150 X linked mental retardation (XLMR) conditions have been documented. We describe a five generation South African family with XLMR, comprising 16 affected males and 10 carrier females. The clinical features common to the 16 males included profound mental retardation (100%), mutism despite apparently normal hearing (100%), grand mal epilepsy (87.5%), and limited life expectancy (6...

How do people understand the minds of others? Existing psychological theories have suggested a number of dimensions that perceivers could use to make sense of others' internal mental states. However, it remains unclear which of these dimensions, if any, the brain spontaneously uses when we think about others. The present study used multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA) of neuroimaging data to iden...

Cerebellar Hippocampal and Basal Nuclei Transient Edema with Restricted diffusion (CHANTER) syndrome is characterized by an altered mental status. The acute MRI lesions show abnormal restricted imaging bilaterally symmetrically in the cerebellum, hippocampus, basal nuclei. This unknown presumed to be mainly opioidinduced toxidrome. Here, we present a case study wherein that it can also caused a...

Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can bring benefits to the patient by giving them time process and prepare for development in future. To detect early stages AD, patients take brain imaging tests, auto-encoders, genetic mental state cerebral spinal fluid tests. Through these determine their amyloid build-up levels, tau possible chromosomes related health illnesses AD.

An elderly patient with altered mental status, brain abscesses, ventriculitis, and empyemas died of septic shock and brain abscesses secondary to Streptococcus anginosus despite aggressive treatment. An imaging severity index score with a better prognostic value than the Glasgow coma scale predicted mortality in this patient.
