However, CEEG is expensive and cumbersome for long-term monitoring. A simplified method, amplitude-integrated EEG (AEEG) has been rapidly adopted to accomplish the same goals. The purpose of this study was to measure the agreement between the methods of ...

The presence of movement at the SI joint has been increasingly investigated and discussed. Even though it has been contested in the past, the presence of movement at this articulation is now accepted. Since this joint must be relatively mobile, it is now considered that abnormal movement might be related to low ...

Neural generators related to different sleep components have different effects on seizure discharge. These sleep-related systems can provoke seizure discharge propagation during nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and can suppress propagation during REM sleep. Experimental manipulations of discrete physiological components were conducted in feline epilepsy models, mostly in the ...

Conventional methods of neuroimaging, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, are mostly useful in exclusion of movement disorders with secondary aetiology. Recently, the application of transcranial sonography has been introduced to the diagnosis of extrapyramidal diseases. This valuable technique, with proven usefulness in the field of cerebrovascular ...

Two cases of acute onset hemichorea-hemiballism in female patients with complicated diabetes mellitus are described. Computerized tomography showed diffuse basal ganglia hemorrhage contralateral to the abnormal movements. Occurrence of such a presentation in a teenager with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is unique. The relationship between non-ketotic ...

Within the cardiac cell, the movements of calcium ions are tightly regulated by a number of regulatory proteins including pumps, and channels. The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is in large part responsible for orchestrating these movements for the normal functioning of the cardiomyocyte. Alterations of SR regulatory proteins in failing hearts leads to ...

The present paper reviews the methods available for neurological or neuromotor evaluation at preschool age. General textbooks on pediatric neurology describe the neurological examination at preschool age in terms of the assessment of the evaluation of cranial nerves, muscle tone, muscle power, reflexes, and the presence of abnormal ...

Ring chromosomes are uncommon cytogenetic findings but have meanwhile been reported for nearly all human chromosomes. Among the rare observations of ring chromosomes in man, the diagnosis of ring chromosome 18 represents a prominent group. We here describe on the cytogenetic analysis results obtained for a 9 years old male patient of non-consanguineous parents. He had growth and developmental ...

A 6-year-old 41.8-kg (92-lb) sexually intact male German Shepherd Dog used as an attack and pursuit dog by the local police department was examined because of general malaise and sudden onset of ataxia. Abnormal findings included a high WBC count, fever, and ongoing weight loss. Physical examination was unrevealing initially, in part because of the ...

The HOXA1-related syndromes result from autosomal recessive truncating mutations in the homeobox transcription factor, HOXA1. Limited horizontal gaze and sensorineural deafness are the most common features; affected individuals can also have facial weakness, mental retardation, autism, motor disabilities, central hypoventilation, carotid artery and/or conotruncal heart defects. M�bius syndrome ...

We report on a girl with monosomy 1p36.3 and Angelman syndrome due to an unbalanced transmission of a maternal balanced chromosomal translocation. She manifested monosomy 1p36 and Angelman syndrome including generalized hypopigmentation, ataxic movements, intractable seizures with characteristic electroencephalographic (EEG) ...

Huntington`s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by involuntary movements, and cognitive and affective changes. HD has a prevalence of 1 in 10,000 individuals in most populations of European origin. The IT15 gene is responsible for HD as it contains a highly polymorphic, unstable (CAG) repeated sequence that is ...

Torsion dystonia is a syndrome characterized by loss of voluntary movements appearing as sustained muscle contractions and/or abnormal postures. The DYT1 gene is responsible for a subtype of torsion dystonia in which onset of symptoms tends to occur in a limb at an early age (mean 13 years) and to progress to a generalized state. ...

This paper investigates the presence of abnormal returns through the use of trading strategies that exploit the predictability of short run stock price movements. Based on historical returns of the largest set of individual securities in the UK stock market examined to date, this paper identifies profitable momentum trading strategies as investment tools ...

In stroke survivors, motor impairment is frequently associated with degraded proprioceptive and/or somatosensory functions. Here we address the question of how to use robots to improve proprioception in these patients. We used an 'assist-as-needed' protocol, in which robot assistance was kept to a minimum and was continuously adjusted during exercise. To specifically train proprioceptive ...

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a rare neurologic disorder of childhood and adolescence. We describe a 16-year-old boy who manifested the disease despite proper vaccinations. He was hospitalized because of bedwetting, involuntary limb movements, abnormal speech, and balance disturbances. Immunoglobulin G antibodies against measles were strongly ...

In light of recently described and reviewed disorders of movement and behaviour during sleep, the long standing diagnosis of conversion disorder in a forty-nine year old Vietnam veteran was reappraised. Polysomnographic studies showed that the nocturnal component of his "pseudoseizures" was due to physical disorder, a severe mixed parasomnia comprising the recently described ...

Tissue abnormality characterization is a generalized segmentation problem which aims at determining a continuous score that can be assigned to the tissue which characterizes the extent of tissue deterioration, with completely healthy tissue being one end of the spectrum and fully abnormal tissue such as lesions, being on the other end. ...

The frequency and determinants of abnormal test performance by normal individuals are critically important to clinical inference. Here we compare two approaches to predicting rates of abnormal test performance among healthy individuals with the rates actually shown by 327 neurologically normal adults aged 18-92 years. We counted how many participants ...

Schizophrenia, once considered a psychological malady devoid of any organic brain substrate, has been the focus of intense neuroimaging research. Findings reveal mild but generalized tissue loss as well as more selective focal loss. It is unclear whether these abnormalities reflect neurodevelopmental or neurodegenerative processes, or some combination of ...

The incidence of developmental abnormalities in domestic animals is low, however there is continuing pressure on the veterinarian to answer concerns of the producer as to why the abnormality occurred and what significance it has for the rest of the herd. Generally, both normal and abnormal development are products ...

In general, the spleen accompanied by abnormal abdomen is hypertrophied. However, if the spleen size is originally small, it is hard to detect the splenic enlargement due to abnormal abdomen by simply measure the size. On the contrary, the spleen size of a person having a normal abdomen may be large by nature. Therefore, measuring the ...

BackgroundIn many stroke patients arm function is limited, which can be related to an abnormal coupling between shoulder and elbow joints. The extent to which this can be translated to activities of daily life (ADL), in terms of muscle activation during ADL-like movements, is rather unknown. Therefore, the present study examined the occurrence of ...

Subdural haematomas can present with a wide variety of symptoms. An atypical presentation can be movement disorders. The key feature is that the history of onset is more rapid than with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease. The symptoms can also be an acute worsening of pre-existing disorder. The case discussed involved an 80 year old woman with bilateral ...
