ABSTRACT Background Impulsive‐compulsive behaviors are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. However, the basal ganglia dysfunctions associated with high impulsivity have not been fully characterized. The objective of this study was to identify features impulsive‐compulsive single neurons subthalamic nucleus (STN). Methods We compared temporal and spectral 412 from 12 PD patients 330 without. Single‐unit activities were extracted exploratory microrecordings performed during deep brain...
Spontaneous natural killer (NK) cell activity and NK-induced cytotoxicity after interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were measured in healthy elderly subjects patients with senile dementia of Alzheimer type (SDAT) multi-infarct (MID). Normal basal IFN-γ-stimulated NK found old MID. On the contrary higher IFN-γ (650 IU) was demonstrated SDAT than MID (p < 0.001). A significant inverse correlation between percent increase Mini Mental State Examination score 0.001) also SDAT. Our data might suggest a...
We reported the case of a John Cunningham virus (JCV) and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) mediated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) after stem cell transplant, reactivated months later in absence immunosuppressive therapy, successfully treated with anti-5HT2A receptors agents antiviral therapy. Few cases JCV HHV-6 coinfection associated PML are described literature role pathogenesis prognosis is not completely clear. Our suggests that, possible PML, research should be always...
