OBJECTIVES Neurological soft signs (NSS), i.e., minor motor and sensory changes, are a common feature in severe psychiatric disorders. We sought to establish the frequency of NSS in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) on basis of a large population-based sample and to identify their neuropsychological correlates including cognitive reserve. METHODS Neuro...

Declaration of interest None. Funding fromthe Stanley Foundation and the Medical Research Council (UK). Neurological soft signs (NSS) are minor (‘soft’) neurological abnormalities in sensory and motor performance identified by clinical examination. They have been described in excess in patients with schizophrenia (Buchanan & Heinrichs, 1989). There is still a lack of consensus on the neurodysfu...

we evaluated the specific pattern of pre- and postoperative neurological signs and symptoms of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (csm) to determine [mdings which had a predictive value for surgical outcome. consecutive patients with csm caused by osteophytic ridge or intervertebral disc herniation who underwent anterior cervical decompression and fusion in loghman hakim hospital from 1999-2003 we...

There have been few longitudinal studies on sick building syndrome (SBS), which include headache, fatigue, and runny nose. We considered effect of sick building syndrome with illnesses like headache, fatigue and runny nose. Thus, we designed a questionnaire and asked from male of dormitory residence. Questions of the questionnaire were more about known symptoms of buildings (headache, fatigue, ...

Neurological soft signs (NSS) comprise subtle deficits in sensory integration, motor coordination, and sequencing of complex motor acts, which are typically observed in the majority of schizophrenia patients, including chronic cases and neuroleptic-naïve first-episode patients. However, recent studies clearly demonstrate that NSS are not a static feature of schizophrenia but vary in the clinica...

Basilar skull fractures in horses can occur at any age, although young are particularly prone to this type of injury. This manuscript describes two foals with a basisphenoid bone fracture, clinical presentations ranging from mild neurological signs up severe compromise. The absence does not exclude fracture bone, as lethargy and retropharyngeal swelling may be the only signs. Radiography help d...
