Kalhan Abstract The definition of clinically significant hypoglycemia remains one of the most confused and contentious issues in contemporary neonatology. In this article, some of the reasons for these[…][doi.org]
Hyponatremia
Abstract Computed tomography (CT) is a widely used imaging modality. Although hyponatremia after CT imaging is rare, its effects can be devastating. Hyperosmolar radiocontrast acts as effective osmoles and causes fluid migration from intracellular into extracellular compartment. Dilutional hyponatremia will ensue if[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Carotid Stenosis
Approximately 10% of ischemic strokes are caused by carotid artery stenosis (CAS). Estimated prevalence of asymptomatic CAS is 1%. To evaluate evidence on screening and treating asymptomatic adults for CAS. MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and trial registries through September 2013; MEDLINE through March[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Stroke
BACKGROUND: Stroke recovery studies have shown the efficacy of bimanual training on upper limb functional recovery and others have shown the efficacy of feedback technology that augments error. OBJECTIVE: In a double-blinded randomized controlled study (N 26), we evaluated the short-term effects of bilateral[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cerebral Thrombosis
Abstract Identification of a family affected by antithrombin III-heparin cofactor (AT-III) deficiency was made after diagnosis of the index case, a 15-year-old boy who suffered cerebral thrombosis. The proband had a two-year history of recurrent thrombosis involving the lower extremities. His mother and sister were[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Anterior Cerebral Artery Occlusion
Abstract 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[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
Spinal neurodegeneration is an important determinant of disability progression in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis. Advanced imaging techniques, such as single-voxel (1)H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy and q-space imaging, have increased pathological specificity for neurodegeneration, but are[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
