Recent etiological studies have revealed that molecular mimicry between the lipo-oligosaccharide (LOS) component of Campylobacter jejuni and gangliosides of peripheral nervous system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Previously, we demonstrated GD3
Molecular genetic studies have established that mutations in the gene encoding the 22-kDa peripheral myelin protein (PMP-22) are responsible for hereditary peripheral neuropathies in the trembler mouse and in a subset of humans with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type 1a. The function of the PMP-22
This historical review addresses major neurological disorders associated with deficiencies of water-soluble B vitamins: beriberi, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, pellagra, neural tube defects, and subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord. Beriberi: Beriberi was known for millennia in Asia, but
This paper summarises findings from a study of maintenance treatment in predominantly neurotic depressive responding to initial treatment with amitriptyline. Patients were continued on amitriptyline for eight months, withdrawn double-blind to placebo after two months, or withdrawn overtly to no
Free amino acid levels were measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from demented patients (D, n = 30) suffering from presenile and senile dementia of Alzheimer type (PDAT, n = 7; SDAT, n = 9), multi-infarct dementia (MID, n = 14) and a reference sample group consisting of young neurotic patients (R,
BACKGROUND
New opportunities in the labour market, competition in services and globalization have contributed to the increase in load factors in the psychosocial work environment. Availability, readiness to help, work with the sick, the suffering patient--night shifts, overtime, workaholic (as a new
Had markedly anarchic dietary behaviour with alternating anorexia and bulimia, or even self-induced vomiting. These disturbances in dietary behaviour fall within the context of an unusual neurotic syndrome, predominantly hysterical. There were also menstrual problems, most often amenorrhoea. The
We investigated the binding of the gp120 glycoprotein of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) to neural glycolipids and glycoproteins by ELISA. The gp120 protein bound to sulfatide (GalS), a sulfated glycolipid autoantigen implicated in sensory neuritis, and to the myelin associated glycoprotein
Myelin proteins in mammalian peripheral nerve were studied comparatively. 1. While each content of P1 and P2 in the myelin varied among species, additional content of P1 and P2 are relatively constant. 2. The antigenic determinants of P2 for induction of experimental allergic neuritis were reported.
A marked camptodactylia, or a mere suggestion of it, was found in 91 (56; 5%) of 161 mentally ill patients, particularly in psychopaths, neurotics and patients in a neurotic state. Clinical, psychological, radiological and biological investigations were carried out in 33 patients. The camptodactylia
In 1905, Cornelius Adrianus Pekelharing found that animals fed purified proteins, carbohydrates, fats, inorganic salts, and water would thrive only if small amounts of milk were added to the diet. He concluded that the milk contained some unrecognized substance that in very small quantities was
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) tissue contains a variety of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates that may serve as immunogens in proving immune responses, as antigens participating in immunological reactions, or as both types of agents. Three proteins P0, P1, and P2, account for approximately 70% of
