  A 52-year-old man developed vertical gaze palsy, convergence spasm, and convergence-retraction nystagmus due to glioblastoma of the right thalamus. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) inadvertently demonstrated markedly increased [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Chorea

  Thus, unilateral striatal hypermetabolism appears to underlie the contralateral chorea observed. A SPECT scan probably should be included in the work-up of new-onset chorea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  They usually involve autoimmunity and are associated with choreatic disorders such as Sydenham chorea, lupus, and the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. [scholars.northwestern.edu]

• Truncal Ataxia

  A 52-year-old man with vertigo and imbalance for two weeks showed spontaneous downbeat (DBN), horizontal gaze-evoked, and positional apogeotropic nystagmus along with severe limb and truncal ataxia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Limb Weakness

• Myoclonus

  The patient had no history of absence, myoclonus or generalised convulsion. Her seizure was resistant to a combination of antiepileptic drugs including carbamazepine. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hypermetabolism of phenytoin is not frequently recognized as a cause of treatment failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patients were recruited as they benefit from a routinely evaluation before systemic treatment initiation. We included all cancer patients, any stage, evaluated before systemic treatment initiation including adjuvant chemotherapy. [isrctn.com]

The presence of hypermetabolism may be a factor related to poorer prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In contrast, most studies show a higher rate of infectious complications and poorer prognosis when tumor patients are nourished with PN 14 (Ia), 15 (Ib). [scielo.isciii.es]
