Abstract Neuropsychiatric involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus includes heterogeneous manifestations involving both the central and peripheral nervous system. A major issue clinical evaluation is attribution of neuropsychiatric symptoms to erithematosus. Antiphospholipid antibodies, immune complex, microangiopathy, early accelerated arteriosclerosis are factors that have main role pathog...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To critically discuss the neuropsychiatric symptoms in the prodromal stages of dementia in order to improve the early clinical diagnosis of cognitive and functional deterioration. RECENT FINDINGS Current criteria for cognitive syndrome, including Alzheimer's disease, comprise the neuropsychiatric symptoms in addition to cognitive and functional decline. Although there is gro...

PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections) syndrome is a disorder that presents itself before adolescence with an abrupt onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms and/or tics. This disorder is related to Group A streptococcal (GAS) infection with neurological findings, such as motor hyperactivity and choreiform movements. The progress...

to a wide range of neurological symptoms, ranging from headaches, dizziness and altered mental status to coma. The basis for this is thought to be hypoxia. Carbon monoxide competes with oxygen for binding to hemoglobin (Hb) and once bound, shifts the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the left, thus impairing off-loading of oxygen molecules, leading to hypoxia . A sizable minority of CO poison...

Electroencephalography (EEG) is frequently used in functional neurological assessment of children with neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Multiscale entropy (MSE) can reveal complexity in both short and long time scales and is more feasible in the analysis of EEG. Entropy-based estimation of EEG complexity is a powerful tool in investigating the underlying disturbances of neural netwo...
