Clinical possibilities in many neurological conditions are limited by our current inability to correct structural damage to the nervous system, and treatments to prevent damage are also limited. Current research has produced promising treatments that promote neuroprotection, plasticity, axon regeneration, remyelination and cell replacement. As these treatments go through clinical trials and ent...

Neurology treats brain and spinal cord problems. Neurological devices that improve hearing vision can diagnose, prevent, treat many neurological disorders conditions, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, major depression, epilepsy, injury, damage. Neurovascular stents for aneurysms are a promising new treatment. This article discusses the latest US device regulatory framework marketing approval ...

A survey has been carried out on all cases submitted to open-heart surgery at one hospital during 1970 to determine which operative features were associated with the occurrence of neurological damage. Four hundred and seventeen subjects survived the operative period. Neurological dysfunction, defined as impairment of consciousness, voluntary movement or vision, apparent within three days of ope...

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) suffer from a number of complex neurological complications including vascular damage and cognitive dysfunction. It is of great significance to detect the neurological complications and improve the prognosis of ESRD patients. Many new noninvasive MRI techniques have been steadily used for the diagnosis of occult central nervous system complications in...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a major cause of death with survival rates as low as 5% to 35%. A large number of patients who survive resuscitation will face significant neurological damage, as a result of the ischemia that occurs both during cardiac arrest and reperfusion. However understanding of the mechanisms responsible for brain damage has not resulted in prog...
