it has been estimated that more than 1.7 million individuals suffer a traumatic brain injury (tbi) each year. tbi causes secondary biochemical and metabolic changes which contribute to subsequent tissue damage and associated neuronal cell death. two early and delayed events occur after tbi, which results in neurological deficits. primary injury events include the mechanical damage that occur at...

AIM To compare and analyze the influence of the duration of neurological symptoms and degree of neurological deficits on the postoperative neurological recovery of patients with neurological deficits caused by spinal tuberculosis (TB). MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data of 47 adult patients with neurological deficits caused by spinal TB. They were divided into three and...

background: arachnoid cysts are cerebrospinal fluid (csf) fluid-filled sacs that are located between the brain and spinal cord. spinal column arachnoid cysts are rare and mostly asymptomatic, being mostly located in intradural regions. we reported a patient who presented with neurological deficits and mid-thoracic extradural arachnoid cyst treated with en-bloc resection. case presentation: pati...

Objectives-This project was conducted to examine whether the computerised analysis of psychomotor responses available from Cognitive Drug Research is appropriate for measuring an effect oflow level exposure to mercury in dentists. Methods-A computerised battery of psychomotor tests was given to two groups of dentists (older dentists and trainees) and to two age matched control groups. As well a...

Neurological tumors, such as gliomas and meningiomas are rarely presented by movement disorders. Early detection of neurological both basal ganglia arising tumors ganglia-sparing ones, presenting with disorders is crucial to prevent any further deficits.

OBJECT Anorectal malformations are known to be associated with neurological deficits, which may contribute to the disability suffered by patients with these malformations. This study was undertaken to determine the incidence and pattern of sacral abnormalities in children with anorectal malformations, the incidence and nature of the neurological deficits, and the incidence and nature of operabl...
