The authors investigated the concentration of some metals in the cerebrospinal fluid in 70 patients with bacterial meningoencephalitis in the dynamics of the inflammatory process and in different regions of the brain in 10 autopsy cases. There was a correlation between potassium, sodium, manganese,
Nuclear-absorption spectrometry was used to measure concentration of some metals in cerebrospinal liquid (CSL) of 70 patients with bacterial meningoencephalitis and in different brain compartments of 10 dead patients. Estimation of the difference between dry and wet tissue mass provided the picture
After a 34-year-old female developed a headache and high fever, she was diagnosed with aseptic meningitis. On admission, neurological examinations revealed cerebellar limb ataxia, horizontal gaze paretic nystagmus, and pyramidal tract signs. Laboratory tests showed hyponatremia (129 mEq/l). Five
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) changes are significant for antemortem diagnoses of some neurological diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate if the concentration of L-lactate in CSF could be used to differentiate healthy from encephalitic cattle. Cerebrospinal fluid samples from healthy cattle
In 51 patients with meningoencephalitis the acid-base equilibrium of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was assessed. In the fluid the following gasometry parameters were determined: pH, pCO2, pO2 and HCO3-, and also the levels of lactic acid, ATP, pyruvic acid, and sodium and potassium ion
OBJECTIVE
To examine the frequency, severity, risk factors and mortality of hypokalemia, and efficacy of therapy used for its correction.
METHODS
Descriptive, retrospective analysis.
METHODS
290 patient records admitted consecutively to a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) over a period of one
Pacific herring Clupea pallasi populations in Prince William Sound, Alaska, USA, declined from an estimated 9.8 x 10(7) kg in 1992 to 1.5 x 10(7) kg in 1994. To determine the role of disease in population decline, 233 Pacific herring from Prince William Sound were subjected to complete necropsy
We report a patient with a seronegative autoimmune panencephalitis, adding a subtype to the emerging spectrum of seronegative autoimmune encephalitis, and we review the sparse literature on isolated psychiatric presentations of autoimmune encephalitis. (A PubMed search for "seronegative autoimmune
Renal TB is difficult to diagnose, because many patients present themselves with lower urinary symptoms which are typical of bacterial cystitis. We report a case of a young woman with renal TB and ESRD. She was admitted with complaints of adynamia, anorexia, fever, weight loss, dysuria and
Commercial preparations of vasopressin for the treatment of diabetes insipidus are not available in Mexico. Besides, the hormone is useless in the nephrogenic variety. In the department of Endocrinology at the Hospital Infantil de Mexico, a preparation containing hydrochlorothiazide, aminopyrine and
The Gram-positive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is the causative agent of listeriosis, a severe food-borne infection characterised by abortion, septicaemia, or meningoencephalitis. L. monocytogenes causes outbreaks of febrile gastroenteritis and accounts for community-acquired bacterial
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast that causes meningoencephalitis and deep skin dermatitis in humans and animals. A hygienic strategy using disinfectants on environmental samples can reduce the risk to the public. The objectives were to survey the distribution of C.
Naegleria fowleri and Naegleria gruberi belong to the free-living amoebae group. It is widely known that the non-pathogenic species N. gruberi is usually employed as a model to describe molecular pathways in this genus, mainly because its genome has been recently described. However, N. fowleri is an
