It has been shown that unilateral left neglect can be significantly improved for a short time after period of adaptation to prismatic shift the visual field right. In neuropsychological studies, however, there is no evidence demonstrating long‐lasting effects following treatment by prism (PA). The first aim present study was find out whether short‐term amelioration found could converted into long‐term therapeutic improvement. Secondly, we investigated improvement in standard tests...
<h3>Importance</h3> Cerebral amyloidosis is a key abnormality in Alzheimer disease (AD) and can be detected vivo with positron emission tomography (PET) ligands. Although amyloid PET has clearly demonstrated analytical validity, its clinical utility debated. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the incremental diagnostic value of florbetapir F 18 addition to routine assessment patients evaluated for cognitive impairment. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> The Incremental Diagnostic Value...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the recognition "self body parts" is independent from other people's parts. If case, ability recognize should be selectively impaired after lesion involving specific brain areas. To verify hypothesis, patients with right (right brain-damaged [RBD]) or left (left [LBD]) hemisphere and healthy subjects were submitted a visual matching-to-sample task in two experiments. In first experiment, stimuli depicted their own parts second three...
Much research suggested that recognizing our own body-parts and attributing a body-part to physical self-likely involve distinct processes. Accordingly, facilitation for self-body-parts was found when an implicit, but not explicit, self-recognition required. Here, we assess whether implicit explicit bodily is mediated by different cerebral networks can be selectively impaired after brain lesion. To this aim, right- (RBD) left- (LBD) damaged patients age-matched controls were presented with...
Mechanisms underlying the self/other distinction have been mainly investigated focusing on visual, tactile or proprioceptive cues, whereas very little is known about contribution of acoustical information. Here ability to distinguish between self and others' voice by using a neuropsychological approach. Right (RBD) left brain damaged (LBD) patients healthy controls were submitted discrimination recognition task. Stimuli paired words/pseudowords pronounced participant, familiar unfamiliar...
Early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) is a rare genetic disorder mainly attributable to mutation in the presenilin 1 <i>(PSEN1)</i> gene. Clinical profile and instrumental findings share common features with adult neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. We documented clinical course EOAD patients bearing mutations <i>PSEN1</i>. Genetic screening for dementia, EEG acquisition determination of granular osmiophilic elements (GRODs) from skin biopsy were performed patient...
<h3>Background</h3> One year ago we described the case of a 23 old female suffering from idiopathic generalised epilepsy treated with valproate and topiramate. The patient developed poliarthritis that improved after topiramate was discontinued.<sup>1</sup> <h3>Objectives</h3> <h3>Methods</h3> We present 58 male since 1996 epileptic seizures left hemiplegia secondary to subharachnoid haemorrhage; he had history hypertension, diabetes cigarette smoke. <h3>Results</h3> Since September 1999...
The war in Ukraine again shows us the power, far from theoretical, that monuments can have. In city of Kherson, symbolic statue Lenin had been sawn into three pieces and removed at time decommunisation, but was repositioned immediately after invasion, front regional government building. This example how statues be symbols power capable conveying political messages. Recently, we have seen Black Lives Matter popular participation movement has questioned majority representation our own present,...
