OBJECTIVE
Persistent taste disturbance is a rare complication after tonsillectomy and mainly documented by case reports or a few retrospective and prospective trials with a limited number of patients. None could clarify frequency, time course, or prognosis of long-lasting dysgeusia after
21-Aminosteroid, or lazaroid, is one of a novel class of antioxidant drugs designed to inhibit iron-dependent lipid peroxidation in biological lipid environments. They have shown promising results in several animal models of traumatic, ischemic and hemorrhagic injury of the central nervous system.
BACKGROUND
Symptoms of circulatory disorders depend on the volume and localization of the cerebellar infarction. An isolated blood vessel occlusion may have various symptoms due to numerous anastomoses in the cerebellar hemispheres. Dominant symptoms are vertigo, vomiting, nausea and balance
Increasingly, patients with complicated medical problems are coming to dental offices for treatment. These patients report using a variety of medications to control one or more chronic conditions. Many of these medications produce changes in the mouth because of toxic overdoses, side effects,
Vitamin E (alpha-and gamma-tocopherol) may slow the progression of a number of major degenerative diseases of the nervous system that appear to be significantly worsened by oxidative stress. The effects of vitamin E on excitoxicity in cultured neurones is considered, together with ataxia due to
This column is the sixth in a series exploring drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with a special emphasis on psychiatric medications. The first 3 columns in this DDI series discussed why patients being treated with psychiatric medications are at increased risk for taking multiple medications and thus

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has shocked the whole world with its unexpected rapid spread. The virus responsible for the disease, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), enters host cells by means of the envelope spike protein, which binds to
To optimize diagnostic workup of the current severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, we systematically reviewed neurological and neuroradiological manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 and all other known human coronavirus species (HCoV). Which lessons can we learn? We
Oxygen free radicals, any chemical moiety containing an oxygen atom with an unpaired electron in the outer orbital shell, are generated during many normal biochemical reactions in living tissue. The unpaired electron makes these compounds highly reactive and they can initiate disruptive peroxidation
Objective: Review and integrate the neurologic manifestations of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, to aid medical practitioners who are combating the newly derived infectious disease. Methods: We reviewed the clinical research, consisting of mainly case series, on
