A 71-year-old woman previously diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia was transferred to our emergency unit because of loss of consciousness. Her plasma glucose level was 27 mg/dL, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) revealed postprandial asymptomatic hypoglycemia. A hypervascular tumor was identified via[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

She had mild generalized muscle rigidity, Babinski's sign bilaterally and increased deep tendon reflex. Laboratory evaluation is show in Table. [scielo.br]

Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is a treatment option for carotid stenosis in high surgical risk patients. As it implies instrumentation of the carotid bulb, baroreceptors dysfunction may be provoked with consequent hemodynamic instability. An 83-year-old woman treated by CAS presented with episodes of[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

AIM: To investigate whether the factor V Leiden mutation (FVL), the prothrombin gene G20210A variant or the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T genotype are risk factors for central nervous system (CNS) thrombosis or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in neonates. METHODS: Thirteen full-term[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

An unusual case concerning a patient with akinetic mutism (AM) due to spontaneous bilateral anterior cerebral artery occlusion is reported. Brain CT scan revealed the presence of mild low density foci presenting an irregular enhancement, which followed the distribution of mesial frontal gyri and paracentral lobulus,[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We present three patients with a clinical course and cerebrospinal fluid findings consistent with a diagnosis of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). Extensive and repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations showed only diffuse abnormality in brain and spinal cord, but no focal lesions. We propose[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Brain stem infarction is a potentially life-threatening condition which develops due to focal ischemia of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. It results in neurologic deficits involving the respiratory, cardiovascular, speech, swallowing, hearing and ocular movement centers located within the brain stem. Diagnosis is[…] [symptoma.com]

Babinski reflex of bilateral lower extremities was positive and bilateral tendon reflex waswere reduced. [karger.com]

His reflexes were 1 symmetrically in his lower extremities. Babinski was negative bilaterally. A lumbar MRI was performed and evaluated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The neurological examinations revealed loss of strength of bilateral lower extremities and the muscle strength was grade 0/5. [karger.com]

Abstract: Fbxo7/PARK15 has well-defined roles, acting as part of a Skp1-Cul1-F box protein (SCF)- type E3 ubiquitin ligase and also having SCF-independent activities. Mutations within FBXO7 have been found to cause an early-onset Parkinson’s disease, and these are found within or near to its functional domains,[…] [eurekaselect.com]
