In the clinical office, during surgical planning, or in the operating room, neurosurgeons have been surrounded by the digital world either recreating old tools or introducing new ones. Technological refinements, chiefly based on the use of computer systems, have altered the modus operandi for neuros... | PMID: 20802430

We report a retrospective multicenter series of 52 patients with severe initial neurologic involvement that occurred in the course of D+HUS. Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection was documented in 24. All except two patients had acute renal failure that required peritoneal dialysi... | PMID: 20498239

We provide an overview of the pathological conditions caused by L1 malfunction. We further discuss how the available data on gene regulation, molecular interactions and posttranslational processing of L1 may contribute to a better understanding of associated neurological and cancerous diseases.... | PMID: 20237819

We wanted to assess the frequency of this finding and to consider its possible significance. Twenty-five consecutive cases of ovarian MCT (patient age ranging from 23 to 66 years, mean: 36.3 years; size ranging from 2.5 to 11.5 cm, mean: 6.1 cm) diagnosed in 2008 were retrieved from the archives at... | PMID: 20534997

Our data demonstrate that baseline VAP-1/SSAO activity predicts parenchymal hemorrhage after tPA, suggesting the safety of thrombolytic agents could be improved by considering VAP-1/SSAO activity. Furthermore, anti-VAP-1/SSAO drugs given with tPA may prevent neurological worsening in patients with i... | PMID: 20538694

The first successful culture of Tropheryma whipplei made 10 years ago opened the way for identification of the bacterium and the development of many diagnostic tools. Phylogenetic analyses made it possible to classify it among Gram positive bacilli in the family of Actinomycetes, close to other ubiq... | PMID: 20079990

The nervous system contains some of the body's most metabolically demanding cells that are highly dependent on ATP produced via mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Thus, the neurological system is consistently involved in patients with mitochondrial disease. Symptoms differ depending on the par... | PMID: 20818726

Swine flu is currently a problematic emerging infectious disease, and has reached pandemic proportions. Neurological manifestations of swine flu have been reported, but there is not much documentation. This note briefly summarizes what is known about the neurological manifestation of swine flu. | PMID: 20714967

We sought to use a novel case-selection methodology to identify antenatal or intrapartum risk factors associated with neonatal neurological impairment following non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns during labour. We used a retrospective case-control design with bivariate and multivariate conditi... | PMID: 20482746

In this study the overall prognosis for AP was good. Patients with only 1 affected lung lobe appeared more likely to survive. Supportive treatment modalities are warranted for the hospitalized patient, although no individual treatment method was found to be clearly superior to others.... | PMID: 20636985

The education of neurologists is debilitated worldwide. University professors are engaged in teaching, research and patient-care. This triple challenge is very demanding, and results in permanent insecurity of University employees. To compensate for the insufficient clinical training, some institute... | PMID: 20648779

Home enteral nutrition (HEN) is a life-sustaining therapy for patients who are unable to meet nutrient needs by oral intake, who have a functional gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and who are able to remain in their own home. The objective of this study was to identify whether the indication for HEN is... | PMID: 20581325
