The clinical features of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) are characterized by cognitive impairments, gait disturbances, and/or urinary incontinence. These symptoms can also include seizures following a shunt placement but there is lack data regarding as presenting symptom in patients with iNPH. Thus, the present report describes case iNPH accompanied which resolved after shunt.

Our aim was to evaluate electrocardiographic and echocardiographic properties exercise response of patients with fibromyalgia (FM).The study included 60 women primary FM 30 healthy individuals. Resting electrocardiography, echocardiography treadmill test were used compare these two groups. At apical four-chamber window, samples transmitral diastolic inflow tissue Doppler imaging left ventricle lateral wall obtained. Left ejection fraction measured via modified Simpson's method.
