Effects of mid-dorsal caudate nucleus on sensorimotor changes were studied in rats. After electrolytic lesion of this area of brain there was impairment in sensory functions and decline in motor component was observed to be statistically significant.

A patient with scapuloperoneal atrophy of neurogenic type, in whome there was also distal sensory impairment, has been studied with conventional EMG, single fibre EMG, and muscle biopsy. This disorder, described by Davidenkow, may be a distinct entity.

INTRODUCTION The literature rarely describes putaminal haemorrhage producing pure spinothalamic sensory deficit. Here reports a case of putaminal haemorrhage in which selective impairment of the spinothalamic sensory modality was due to the compression of the hematoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 57 year old hypertensive man presented with a pure sensory stroke(PSS), and CT scan showed a putaminal ha...

Ambulatory or "walking" extradural analgesia in labour has recently gained popularity because of preservation of motor function and subjective somatic sensation in the lower limbs, resulting in increased maternal satisfaction. This is produced by combining dilute concentrations (e.g. 0.1%) of bupivacaine with opioids. Detailed clinical neurological examination after mobile extradural analgesia ...

By virtue of lacking visual feedback or access to verbal communication, people with a sensory impairment use alternative means for information imaging that rely on residual senses. For this reason, a wide range of assistive hardware and software came into the market to provide an efficient way of alternative imaging, for instance, of textual information. Nevertheless, nearly one third of these ...

Deafness is the most common form of sensory impairment in humans. Depending on the age of onset, hearing impairment can affect oral language acquisition, cognitive development and psychosocial development. Here, we cover the latest advances in gene therapy for alleviating or preventing hearing loss. This review is not meant to be comprehensive, but to highlight some of the most recent developme...

ment of the arms and sensory impairment as well. Minchin also noted affection of the bladder. Ruge and his co-workers (1925) and Ranjan (1944) described incontinence of urine and faeces as well as sexual impairment. It has been postulated that the disease is never progressive after a few days or weeks beyond the initial paralysis (Bicknell and Prescott, 1942). Ranjan (1944), however, notes rapi...

A 66-year-old man was admitted with visual impairment, functional disability, and worsening glycemic control. On admission, he had optic atrophy without diabetic retinopathy in both eyes, sensory impairment of the lower extremities, ataxia, and cognitive impairment. As both serum and cerebrospinal fluid tested positive for syphilis, he was diagnosed with neurosyphilis and treated with antibioti...
