Background: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) encephalitis is an autoimmune disorder first described in 2007. It can cause severe neurologic and psychiatric symptoms, and patients often are misdiagnosed with a primary psychiatric disorder. Anti-NMDA-R encephalitis is an important
To demonstrate oligoclonal IgG bands (I) in unconcentrated cerebrospinal fluid, we used isoelectric focusing in agarose followed by protein transfer to cellulose nitrate membrane, double-antibody peroxidase labeling, and avidin-biotin amplification. I can be reliably seen after isoelectric focusing
Tension-type headache (TTH) is one of the most common and costly primary types of headache in clinical practice, with an unknown etiology. This study assessed to investigate oxidative and antioxidative status in patients with chronic tension-type headache (CTTH), and to evaluate possible effect of
BACKGROUND
Glutathione peroxidase (GP) can be used as a marker of oxidative stress in infectious diseases.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the association between the levels of glutathione peroxidase (GP) and the manifestations and complications of dengue.
METHODS
Between April 2003 and December 2004, 161
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress and chronic daily headache (CDH) in children. Although there are reports that oxidative injury may play a role in the pathophysiology of some neurologic disorders, such as migraine and epilepsy, by disrupting or
Peroxidase-containing cell bodies were found in the ipsilateral trigeminal ganglia after horseradish peroxidase was applied to the proximal segment of the middle cerebral artery in seven cats. Cell bodies containing the enzyme marker were located among clusters of cells that project via the first
BACKGROUND
The pathophysiology of migraine and other headaches is still unknown, and research is mostly done on neurotransmitter, biochemical and vascular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to examine the role of antioxidant enzymes in the pathophysiology of headache in the interictal period of
Antidromic stimulation of small caliber trigeminal axons causes neurogenic inflammation in the dura mater and tongue as evidenced by marked increases in mast cell activation, protein extravasation, as well as in the numbers of endothelial cytoplasmic vesicles, endothelial microvilli and platelet
Migraine headaches are considered to be associated with increased mitochondrial energy metabolism. Mitochondrial oxidative stress is also important in migraine headache pathophysiology although riboflavin and selenium (Se) induced a modulator role on mitochondrial oxidative stress in the brain. The
The essential use of riboflavin is the prevention of migraine headaches, although its effect on migraines is considered to be associated with the increased mitochondrial energy metabolism. Oxidative stress is also important in migraine pathophysiology. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant in nature and
Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) is a term used to describe an encephalopathy of presumed autoimmune origin characterized by high titers of antithyroid-peroxidase antibodies. We describe three patients showing unusual clinical presentations like trigeminal-neuralgia, skew deviation, hypomania
Triptans, acting as serotonin, 5-HT(1B/1D/1F), receptor agonists, provide an effective and established treatment option in migraine and cluster headache. Clinical observations suggest a relatively specific effect of these compounds on primary headache disorders, but not in other pain syndromes. The
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the commonest form of autoimmune thyroiditis in the world. It occurs most frequently in women (female/male ratio, 6:1) in the age group between 30 and 60 years. Here we report the case of a 38-year-old Caucasian man who presented with a few days' history of upper limb
A 51-year-old man with a past history of hypothyroidism suddenly became comatose after a few days of general malaise and headache. On admission to our hospital, his consciousness level was Japan Coma Scale III-200, but no focal neurological deficits were evident. Serum anti-thyroglobulin antibody
Autoimmune thyroid disease may occasionally associate with unspecific neurological symptoms, which are more commonly insidious, include cognitive or behavioural symptoms, and may associate with tremor, myoclonus, or ataxia. We report a 61-year-old female patient who presented with chronic headache,
