Dementia is a worldwide public health problem and there are several diagnostic tools for its assessment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance Memory Alteration Test (M@T) discriminate between patients with early Alzheimer's disease (AD), amnestic mild cognitive impairment (a-MCI), subjects cognitively healthy status (CHS).The discriminative validity assessed in sample 90 AD, 45 a-MCI, 180 CHS. Clinical, functional, studies were independently performed blinded fashion gold...
Dementia is a major cause of dependency and disability among older persons, imposes huge economic burdens.

Introduction: Ultra–longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (uLETM) is defined as an inflammatory lesion involving 10 or more spinal cord segments. The aim of our study to describe the clinical and radiological features this atypical form myelitis. Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional data from 57 patients older than 18 years diagnosed with longitudinally Nineteen cases were classified uLETM. Results: Twelve 19 women, age ranged between 76 years, main aetiology was...
The cerebrovascular complications in neurocysticercosis (NC) are uncommon. However, their pathophysiology remains unknown, but may be likely related to chronic inflammatory processes the subarachnoid space (basal meningitis). Alterations of cytokines cerebrospinal fluid and sera correlate with vasospasm SAH; these mediators NC induce aneurysm formation.A 7-year retrospective study a neurological referral center (Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía), showed 3 cases hemorrhage...
Background: The diagnosis of the behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) can be especially challenging and is relatively underdiagnosed. There scarce information on training attitudes from care providers facing bvFTD in settings with limited resources. We aim to describe clinical knowledge neurologists, psychiatrists, residents Peru. Methods: Potential participants received invitations by email complete an online questionnaire. In addition, we reviewed 21 curricula undergraduate...

La persistencia de la arteria trigeminal es una alteración vascular infrecuente y representa permanencia, después del nacimiento, comunicación entre el sistema carotideo vertebro-basilar.Esta se ha asociado a existencia otras alteraciones morfología cerebral condiciones clínicas variadas.Reportamos tres casos trigeminal, dos como hallazgo incidental en pacientes con sintomatología transitoria uno un cuadro hemorragia subaracnoidea, identificados mediante reconstrucción tridimensional
Recently the term Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome induced by Adjuvants has been proposed to describe different clinical conditions, among them post-vaccinal phenomena like demyelinating diseases. We aim add knowledge on possible association of vaccines and development present case a 38-year-old female that developed brainstem syndrome after vaccination with COVID-19 BBIBP-CorV Sinopharm Vaccine. The final diagnosis extensive work-out was Neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorder positive...
La enfermedad de Alzheimer y la epilepsia no solo comparten edad avanzada como un factor riesgo, si también compartirían mecanismos subyacentes en su etiología. Las crisis epilépticas generalmente fueron reportadas estadios tardíos Alzheimer; sin embargo los pacientes con familiar mutaciones PSEN1, PSEN2 proteína precursora del amiloide tienen mayor riesgo desarrollar aún tempranos enfermedad. Por otro lado lóbulo temporal podría generar per sé compromiso memoria esclerosis hipocampal...
