Hydrocephalus is a medical condition characterized by enlargement of cerebral ventricles due to abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation. Hydrocephalic women with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts are now surviving to reproductive age, but still there are doubts regarding the mode of delivery,
Although there have been a few reports of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma, it may be difficult to make a correct diagnosis of the lesion because of atypical clinical symptoms. The authors reported a case of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma presenting Brown-Séquard syndrome, with a review of
The pathogenicity of hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus isolated from the brain of each of 5 pigs with clinical signs and microscopic lesions of encephalomyelitis (1 pig from each of 5 naturally infected herbs) was tested under experimental conditions. Each isolant was administered
We report a 9-year-old girl with acute autonomic sensory and motor neuropathy (AASM) associated with human parvovirus B19 (HPV-B19) infection. The patient presented with fever, erythema of the entire body, and abdominal pain with vomiting. The titer of HPV-B19 IgM antibody was significantly
A cross-sectional study was designed to identify a relationship between the presence of symptoms usually related to nervous system involvement as well as other chronic complications of diabetes with three objectively defined degrees of autonomic neuropathy (AN). Symptoms usually related to
Zolpidem is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic of the imidazopyridine class that is used to treat insomnia in humans. Zolpidem binds selectively to the benzodiazepine omega-1 receptor and increases the frequency of chloride channel opening, which results in inhibition of neuronal excitation. A
BACKGROUND
Wilkie syndrome, also referred as superior mesenteric artery syndrome, is an unusual cause of a proximal small bowel obstruction. It is characterised by the compression of the duodenum in its third portion due to a narrowing of the space between the superior mesenteric artery and the
Human envenomations by Heloderma species are a rare but clinically important medical problem. We report a case of an adult male bitten on the left hand by a 50-cm male, captive specimen of Heloderma suspectum (Gila monster). Immediate signs and symptoms included pain at the bite site radiating into

The new anticancer agent lonidamine has been recently revisited for the treatment of various solid tumors, due to its peculiar and unusual mechanism of action (ie, interference with energy metabolism of tumor cells, morphologically displayed by the appearance of "condensed mitochondria"). First
12 patients with metastatic cancer were treated with the substituted indazole carboxylic acid Lonidamine at oral daily doses of 270 mg/m2. Toxicity, consisting mainly of myalgias, somnolence, hyperesthesia, anorexia and vomiting, generally decreased or disappeared over time despite continuing drug
The National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group conducted a phase II study of lonidamine, given in an escalating oral daily schedule to a maximum dose of 450 mg/m2 in patients with previously treated advanced breast cancer. Five responses were seen in 30 evaluable patients (17%).
Lonidamine (LND) interferes with the energy mechanisms of neoplastic cells and decreases the oxygen consumption in human and experimental tumors. The present study was performed in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients, previously untreated, to confirm the preliminary data of activity against
