OBJECTIVE Research on the long-term sequelae of treatment for pediatric brain tumors has identified significant neurocognitive deficits experienced by many survivors. Despite indications of deficits based on cognitive assessment, the identification of specific neurobiological mechanisms of these deficits using neuroimaging techniques has yet to be considered. METHOD This study used norm-refer...

The monitoring of cognitive functions is central to the assessment and consecutive management of multiple sclerosis (MS). Though, especially cognitive processes that are central to everyday behavior like dual-tasking are often neglected. We examined dual-task performance using a psychological-refractory period (PRP) task in N = 21 patients and healthy controls and conducted standard neuropsycho...

Previous research (LaPointe & Erickson, 1991) has shown that aphasic individuals have difficulty, relative to control subjects, in monitoring for spoken words while performing a secondary task. This finding may indicate that aphasics have fundamental deficits in attention or that their linguistic deficits are simply exacerbated by dividing attention. Twenty subjects, 10 nonfluent aphasic and 10...

Loss of insight is one of the core features of frontal/behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (FTD). FTD shares many clinical and pathological features with corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). The aim of this study was to investigate awareness of cognitive deficits in FTD, CBD and PSP using a multidimensional approach to assessment, which examines meta...

This paper explores potential cognitive deficits underlying confabulation of patient, G.S., following an anterior communication artery aneurysm. G.S.'s performance on tasks assessing memory for temporal duration, temporal order, and speaker identification is examined as is his recollection of autobiographical events. We compare G.S. with three nonconfabulating patients matched with him for age,...

Subacute encephalopathy with seizures in chronic alcoholism (SESA) was first described in 1981 by Niedermeyer who reported alcoholic patients presenting with confusion, seizures and focal neurological deficits and is quite distinct from patients presenting with typical alcohol withdrawal seizures. EEG often reveals periodic discharges and spikes, but SESA presenting with non-convulsive status e...

Abstract Monitoring on road bridges in Germany is rare and mostly designed to deal with existing damages deficits, as a survey of the Federal Ministry Digital Transport has shown 2020. Other use cases are monitoring support structural inspection, monitor significant structures, or impact monitoring. The objectives, benefits examples various described present article. results most useful when th...

We report our experience of the monitoring of spinal somatosensory evoked potentials in 60 patients with neuromuscular scoliosis. In 15 cases a significant change occurred in the trace when a sublaminar wire was tightened. There were no postoperative neurological deficits attributable to the surgery.

Purpose: The Vineland-II is a standardized norm-referenced assessment tool that can be used for: • measuring an individual’s daily functioning • measuring deficits in adaptive behavior • clinical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders, genetic disorders, developmental • delays, emotional and behavioral disturbances as well as other mental, physical or • injury related conditions • developmental...

Background: spinal tumors constitute about 8 % of central nervous system tumors. They are not uncommon in pediatric population. Objectives: The author reviews his experience in surgical aspects and techniques of management of this subtype of pediatric tumors. Patients and Methods: Medical records of twenty five pediatric patients with spinal tumors admitted to Children's Cancer Hospital-Egypt (...
