CONCLUSIONS
Brain excitability diseases like epilepsy constitute one factor that influences brain electrophysiological features. Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a phenomenon that can be altered by changes in brain excitability. CSD propagation was presently characterized in adult male and
Seventy-six patients with neurologic complications of cat-scratch disease are discussed. Encephalopathy occurred in 61, while 15 had either cranial or peripheral nerve involvement. The average age of the patients with encephalopathy was 10.6 years (range, 1 to 66 years), and almost twice as many
In 2 boys aged 8 years and 10 months, respectively, uncommon manifestations of cat scratch disease were seen. The first patient had acute encephalopathy: coma and generalized tonic-clinic convulsions. The second patient was presented with fever and peripheral lymphadenopathy in combination with
OBJECTIVE
To show the first clinically reported case of Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) presenting as a focal neurologic deficit in an immunocompetent adult.
METHODS
59-year-old male with a history of a previous stroke.
RESULTS
Examination showed an expressive aphasia, word substitution errors, and
New-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is defined as a sudden onset of refractory status epilepticus in patients who do not have a history of epilepsy. It is a neurologic emergency, and determining the underlying etiology is an important factor for effectively managing and predicting the
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical spectrum of CACNA1A S218L mutation carriers with special attention to "early seizures and cerebral oedema after trivial head trauma (ESCEATHT)", a combination of symptoms which resembles the "juvenile head trauma syndrome".
METHODS
In two patients with ESCEATHT all
The genus Bartonella is comprised of a rapidly increasing number of pathogenic species that induce a seemingly diverse spectrum of neurological symptoms. During the 12 year period that followed the initial onset of neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms, an 11 year-old girl experienced a
OBJECTIVE
Previously, we have shown that IR impairs the vascular reactivity of the major cerebral arteries of ZO rats prior to the occurrence of Type-II diabetes mellitus. However, the functional state of the microcirculation in the cerebral cortex is still being explored.
METHODS
We tested the
A state-of-the-art integrated model of neurovascular coupling (NVC) (Dormanns et al., 2015b; Dormanns et al., 2016; Kenny et al., 2018) and the BOLD response (Mathias et al., 2017a; Mathias et al., 2017b) is presented with the ability to simulate the fMRI BOLD responses due to continuous neuronal
OBJECTIVE
Cortical spreading depolarizations (CSD) are waves of mass tissue depolarization that mediate progressive development of cortical infarction in animal models and occur in approximately 50% of patients with acute brain injury. Here we performed multi-modal cerebral monitoring to investigate
Overexcitation of neuronal networks in some forebrain structures and pathological synchronization of neuronal activity play crucial role in epileptic seizures. Seizure activity can be elicited experimentally by different convulsants. Because of various distribution of excitatory and inhibitory
The CNS activity of Lippia alba liquid and spray-dried extracts, containing the non-volatile fraction from the leaves, was investigated. L. alba liquid extracts were prepared by percolation with EtOH 40, 60 or 80%. The liquid extracts, named ES(40%,) ES(60%) and ES(80%,) were concentrated, the
Ascorbic acid (AA) is an antioxidant molecule that is highly concentrated in the brain and can exert both anticonvulsant and proconvulsant effects in distinct models of experimental seizures. Herein, we investigated whether chronic AA administration alters cortical excitability as indexed by the
A five-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with generalized seizures. Enlarged lymph nodes raised the suspicion of cat-scratch disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by a positive history of a cat bite, typical histopathologic findings in the biopsy of the lymph nodes, and a positive skin test.
OBJECTIVE
Aim of the study is to investigate the involvement of parahippocampal subregions in the generation and in the propagation of focal epileptiform discharges in an acute model of seizure generation in the temporal lobe induced by arterial application of bicuculline in the in vitro isolated
