Presentation
We present the case of a 21-year-old woman with acute memory impairment. It was initially not recognized as organic in nature. Repeated neuropsychological testing confirmed severely disturbed encoding and recall. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Keratosis
Here we report on five patients who developed memory deficits such as transient global amnesia immediately after PDT for actinic keratosis. All PDT treatments were performed according to standard therapy protocols. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Denial
However, unawareness may be the result of denial as a strategy for coping with memory loss of which the older adult is aware. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Amnesia
During the 5 years until his death, R.B. exhibited marked anterograde amnesia, little if any retrograde amnesia, and showed no signs of cognitive impairment other than memory. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Retrograde amnesia affects the ability to remember events that happened before a trauma. Patients with psychogenic or dissociative amnesia cannot remember who they are. [healthcommunities.com]

Focal Neurologic Deficit
A 52-year-old man suffered sudden anterograde and retrograde amnesia without any focal neurological deficit. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Prior studies suggest that testosterone treatment may improve these functions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis It carries a benign prognosis and may even resolve spontaneously. The main differential diagnosis is a sacroiliitis. [radiopaedia.org]
What Is the Prognosis for Possible Early Dementia? In a majority of people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the condition eventually worsens. [emedicinehealth.com]
The extent of the period covered by the amnesia is related to the degree of injury and may give an indication of the prognosis for recovery of other functions. [en.wikipedia.org]
Etiology
Clinicians noting cognitive impairment in individuals with PTSD should exercise caution before ascribing that impairment to another etiology if deficits are limited to memory. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Thus, although a first trauma elicits inhibiting responses, which may be protective, experiencing more than one unpredictable trauma is a critical contributor of PTSD etiology. hippocampus memory molecular mechanisms PTSD stress trauma View Full Text [jneurosci.org]
Introduction Osteitis condensans ilii (OCI) is one of the benign etiologies of chronic axial low back pain. Most of the time, OCI is an incidental finding on plain X-ray with ileal sclerosis. [cureus.com]
The underlying etiology is believed to be mechanical stress across the sacroiliac joint. Supporting this hypothesis, it is most often seen in women who have given birth; however, men and nulliparous women can be affected 2-4. [radiopaedia.org]

Support for this hypothesis comes from studies of clinical conditions that cause low testosterone levels, 6, 7 epidemiological investigations, 8, 9 and small randomized trials showing improved memory with testosterone supplementation. 10 Together, these [jamanetwork.com]
Pathophysiology
Moreover, investigation of this epilepsy-related condition with the combination of EEG and neurofunctional imaging might provide clues to clarify the pathophysiology of Alzheimer disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Still, the pathophysiology of OCI is not clearly understood, but the increased mechanical stress on ileum is considered one of the causative factor of OCI in pregnant women. [cureus.com]
The pathophysiological mechanism explaining the association between vitamin D deficiency and primary HPT is not clear. [hindawi.com]
Prevention
So far, no sufficient evidence is available to support that any medicine is able to prevent or reverse the progression of the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Research shows that good diabetes management can help prevent memory problems from developing or advancing. [diabetes.co.uk]
