BACKGROUND Voluntary nystagmus has been recognized as a pendular, rapid, conjugate, primarily horizontal, benign eye movement initiated and maintained by voluntary effort. CASE A 10-year-old Japanese girl presented with voluntary nystagmus associated with accommodation spasms. Her chief complaints, intermittent blurred vision, headache, and soreness of the eyes, were thought to be related to ...
Background: Gitelman syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that typically presents with recurrent muscle cramps, carpopedal spasms, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, hypocalciuria and hypomagnesemia and high urine magnesium during adolescence. Mutation in the gene encoding for sodium chloride co-transporter in distal convoluted tubule causes electrolyte imbalance.Case presentation: We ...
(Log dose)-response curves have been determined for lipolysis and for the conversion of glucose-(14)C to (14)CO(2) by adipose tissue from rats in the presence of epinephrine, corticotropin, and thyrotropin. The stimulatory effect of epinephrine on lipolysis was greater than that of corticotropin or thyrotropin. Lipolysis induced by epinephrine was inhibited by propranolol but only slightly by p...
Although coronary artery spasm has been implicated as an important cause of myocardial ischemia in humans, an animal model of reversible segmental coronary constriction has not been described. To provoke coronary spasm in open-chest dogs, selected vasoconstricting agents adsorbed to viscous ion exchange gels were applied topically to the surface of epicardial coronary arteries. The procedure pr...
PURPOSE Epileptic spasms sometimes begin after the first year of life, and such seizures are recognized as late-onset spasms (LOS). The prognosis of LOS is poor, and a treatment strategy has not been established. This study aimed to assess the short- and long-term effects of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy for LOS. METHODS We investigated the rate of LOS in 22 patients (14 boys and...
BACKGROUND The use of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and prednisolone in the management of infantile spasms has been well established, but is associated with significant morbidity and cannot be used as long-term medication. Since the introduction of vigabatrin, results have been promising with suggestions currently that it should be used as first-line management of infantile spasms. AIM ...
OBJECTIVE The clinical and electrographic features of seizures in anti-LGI1 encephalitis are distinct from those seen in other autoimmune encephalitides or non-encephalitic epilepsies. One electroclinical phenomenon specific to the condition consists of lateralized motor spasms, known as faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS). An electrodecremental pattern overriding a "DC shift" has been descr...
p0005 Corticotropin-releasing hormone [CRH; also referred to as corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)] is a member of a family of related peptides in vertebrates that includes the fish urotensins-I, frog sauvagine, and the urocortin/stresscopin peptides. CRF was first named for its stimulatory effect on corticotropin [also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)] secretion from the anterior ...
UNLABELLED Tracheoesophageal voice (TEV) with voice prosthesis (VP) is an efficient and reproducible method used in vocal rehabilitation after total laryngectomy (TL), prevented by spasms in the pharyngoesophageal segment (PES). Computerized Manometry (CM) is a new, direct and objective method used to assess the PES. AIM to carry out an objective analysis of the PES, with CM, before and after...
OBJECTIVE Infantile spasms are seizures associated with a severe epileptic encephalopathy presenting in the first 2 years of life, and optimal treatment continues to be debated. This study evaluates early and sustained response to initial treatments and addresses both clinical remission and electrographic resolution of hypsarrhythmia. Secondarily, it assesses whether response to treatment diffe...
