A high body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea. However, to our knowledge there no reported equation that quantifies the relationship between weight, as measured by BMI, and apnea severity, assessed apnea-hypopnea (AHI). Our objective was find mathematical BMI AHI.We prospectively recruited 434 veterans from polysomnography laboratory. Veterans already undergoing study were approached, those who consented enrolled. The enrolled in also participated their scheduled...
Objective To determine whether patients with vestibular migraine are more likely to suffer from an occipital headache than without symptoms. Background Vestibular is underdiagnosed disorder in which associated Anatomical evidence and symptomatology hint at the involvement of brain structures posterior fossa (back head location). We hypothesized that migraineurs symptoms experience headaches located back head, is, headaches. Methods A retrospective cross‐sectional study was conducted...
<h3>Background</h3> It is known that exertion can aggravate migraine headache. However, the relationship between and aura unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To study aura. <h3>Design</h3> Case report. <h3>Setting</h3> Tertiary care hospital. <h3>Patient</h3> A 67-year-old man presented with recurrent attacks of exertion-induced hemiplegic migraine. Since hemiparetic were induced, they initially ascribed to transient ischemic attacks. clinical picture, normal findings on cerebral angiography...
The authors report a patient with biopsy-proven temporal arteritis who manifested Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS). Treatment steroid resulted in prompt resolution of visual hallucinations, despite persistent loss, suggesting that cerebral ischemia is cofactor for the development CBS.
Background: Neurologic deficits in patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome usually are attributed to direct compression of neuronal structures or hypoperfusion secondary the vertebral arteries by bony abnormalities.Objective: To describe a 38-year-old woman known who developed lateropulsion. Results:The results magnetic resonance imaging were consistent rubrothalamic stroke.The cerebral an-giogram confirmed artery dissection at level her previously observed abnormality.Conclusions: Hypermobility...
Vivid dreams are that feel real or associated with dream enactment behavior. They prevalent in veterans, especially those psychiatric disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorders. Such have known association abnormalities rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. also described neurological conditions, Lewy body dementias, which REM sleep abnormality. Although vivid occur neuropsychiatric abnormalities, there no studies directly investigated an between and We sought to study veterans.
Introduction/Aims: The purpose of this work was to investigate survival outcomes in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at our Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center multidisciplinary ALS clinic and compare relevant data from several European studies.
 Methods: Our sample consisted 56 total Veterans (n=56; 54 males, 2 females) that had been seen between June 24, 2013 February 1, 2021 clinic.
 Results: median time symptom onset 40.96 months (95% CI 32.17, 76.07), the...
Abstract Room tilt illusion is a rare phenomenon in which person transiently perceives the surrounding environment as tilted to one side. Epilepsy of presumed causes room illusion, but this has never been proven. We present case that epileptic nature, documented by video‐ EEG monitoring. Our Patient 30‐year‐old woman with 11 years history bi‐monthly spells sudden whole counterclockwise for duration two seconds. These were initially diagnosed psychogenic. She was then admitted our video‐EEG...
The diagnosis of a stroke in the emergency department (ED) can be difficult when patient presents primarily with dizziness. Approximately 1/3 such patients are misdiagnosed benign ear condition. While MRI may detect patients, it not readily available many ED. Therefore, there is need to improve clinical recognition strokes among acutely dizzy patients. “bucket test” (BT) involves use bucket that has inside series images arranged straight line aligned earth’s vertical. In research lab...
