Abstract Background: Mustard gas, lethal in high doses, affects multiple organs such as skin, eye and respiratory system. We studied the development of late onset mustardinduced polyneuropathy among chemically wounded Iranian veterans. Methods: In this descriptive study, 100 chemically wounded Iranian veterans with severe eye involvement were examined for any signs and symptoms of polyneuropat...

The outcome and final diagnoses of patients with symptoms and/or signs suggestive of polyneuropathy, but with normal electrophysiological studies, were investigated. All patients who presented at the outpatient clinic between 1993 and 1998 with signs and symptoms suggestive of polyneuropathy, but in whom electrophysiological studies were normal, were included. We retrospectively collected data ...

A prospective study was undertaken in fifty patients who were diagnosed to have major affective disorder, to assess the prevalence of neurological soft signs, their localization and their correlation with response to treatment. Neurological soft signs have been shown to be very common in major affective disorder. They were mainly localized in the temporal and parietal lobes. There was no differ...

INTRODUCTION The relationship between developmental and mental deficits due to genetic or acquired causes is well established. However the possible relationship between neurological signs and intellectual development has not been sufficiently studied. OBJECTIVE We have conducted a transversal study to test the possible association between neurological signs and psychometric measures in childr...

The authors review studies of abnormal signs on clinical neurological examination of schizophrenic patients. In spite of a number of methodologic limitations, the cumulative evidence strongly argues that there are more neurological signs in schizophrenic patients than in nonpsychiatric control subjects. Although less consistent, there is considerable evidence of more neurological signs in schiz...
