Data in the literature regarding factors that predict unfavorable outcomes adult herpetic meningoencephalitis (HME) cases are scarce. We conducted a multicenter study order to provide insights into predictors of HME outcomes, with special emphasis on use and timing antiviral treatment. Samples from 501 patients molecular confirmation cerebrospinal fluid were included 35 referral centers 10 countries. Four hundred thirty-eight found be eligible for analysis. Overall, 232 (52.9%) experienced...

Abstract Background There is increasing evidence that prolonged or recurrent seizures can cause exacerbate cognitive impairment (CI) in memory, attention, orientation, and visuospatial abstraction disabilities, all of which jeopardize educational progress achievement throughout life. The objectives our study are to assess the functions people with epilepsy (PwE) using P300 event-related potentials (ERPs), correlate each components six explanatory variables (epilepsy type, seizure NHS3 score-...

Abstract Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by gradual disturbance of both upper and lower motor neurons (LMN). In ALS, muscle wasting favors the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) first dorsal interosseous (FDI), with relative preservation digiti minimi (ADM). Objectives To interpret F wave changes in context LMN dysfunction differences between spinal motoneurons innervating APB ADM. Patients methods Forty-four subjects were studied (22 patients ALS 22 controls)....

Abstract Introduction Motor neuron loss is the primary pathologic feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). An estimate number surviving motor units (MUs) represents a direct measure disease state in ALS. The objective study to compare MU estimation (MUNE) using multipoint stimulation method (MPS) and compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) amplitude patients with Methods Twenty-eight ALS duration 3–48 months were studied. Nerve conduction median, ulnar, tibial, common peroneal, sural...
