The study included 403 GBS patients (62% young [<60 years], 35% young-old [60-80 years], and 3% old-old [>80 years]). Diagnosis of GBS was made according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS criteria). Severe disability (GBS disability score of >3) at nadir was more common in old compared with young patients (p = 0.0001) as was mortality (9% vs. 2%, respectively). Acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy and hyponatremia were more common in old compared with young patients (12% vs. 6% and 27% vs. 18%, respectively, p = 0.04). A positive history for malignancy was more than three times more common in old than young patients (11% vs. 3%, respectively, p = 0.01). Disability on nadir was similar in young-old and old-old subjects with disability on discharge being more severe in old-old (p = 0.04) suggesting slower recovery in this subgroup. Bulbar symptoms were more common in old-old compared with young-old (50% vs. 19%, respectively, p = 0.01). Comorbidities were present in virtually all old-old patients compared with 66% of young-old patients (p = 0.04). In conclusion, Elderly patients, and especially old-old patients, with GBS have more severe disease with slower recovery than do younger patients.

Risk factors concerning computer use-related migraine onsets are still unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of headaches in computer users as well as the effects of computer use and behavior on the prediction of migraine presence. Methods. A cross-sectional study included 1,500 subjects from the general population who were given a questionnaire to assess the presence and type of headache and questions regarding computer-assisted behavior. All examinees were divided into two groups: the first group consisted of respondents who had a headache, and the second group consisted of subjects without a headache. Results. A total of 67.9% of the subjects had a headache, of which 23.9% had a migraine. Results of multinomial regression analysis showed that significant predictors of the migraine group, compared to the group without headache, were gender (female) and family anamnesis positive for migraine, as well as spending more time on the computer, ma...

Epidemiologic data indicate that carpal tunnel syndrome is the most frequent mononeuropathy, prevalent in 2.7% of general population. Women are three times more likely than men to develop carpal tunnel syndrome and it mostly occurs in the 5th and 6th decade of life (3). Carpal tunnel syndrome has a significant negative effect on the functionality and the quality of daily activities (4). There is a large number of potential causes of carpal tunnel syndrome (Table 1.) (1, 3) which affect the nerve and/or its environment by raising intracanalicular pressure above 30 mm/Hg (normal values being 7 – 8 mm/Hg) and create a disproportion between nerve volume and the tunnel space.

MENSTRUAL MIGRAINE--DEFINITION: There are two types of menstrual migraine: true menstrual migraine and menstrually related migraine. True menstrual migraine occurs predominantly around menstruation, whereas menstrually related migraine occurs during menstruation, but also at other times during the month. CAUSES Exaggerated or abnormal neurotransmitter responses to normal cyclic changes in the ovarian hormones are probably the basic cause of menstrual migraines. The fall in estrogen levels during menstrual cycle is trigger for the menstrual migraine. SYMPTOMS Menstrual migraine has the same symptoms as other types of migraine, but the pain is stronger, it lasts longer, and it is more frequent than other types of migraines. DIAGNOSIS In order to make a diagnosis, women are asked to keep a headache diary for three mon...

Diabetic polyneuropathy is a complex set of clinical syndromes, which deplete various regions of ... more Diabetic polyneuropathy is a complex set of clinical syndromes, which deplete various regions of the nervous system. The process leading to diabetic neuropathy is multi-factorial. Its symptoms are paresthesia, dysesthesia and pain. The signs of damage to the peripheral neurons are hypoesthesia, hypoalgesia, hyperesthesia and hyperalgesia, decreased tendon reflexes, and, possibly, weakness and muscle atrophy. There is no universal classification. Electromyoneurography is indispensable in the diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy. However, there is no agreement on the most sensitive parameter for an early diagnosis. One hundred patients with diabetes mellitus were examined in order to investigate the sensitivity of different electromyographic parameters. Electromyographic techniques proved to be entirely sensitive for the early diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy. Some of the parameters are more suitable for an early detection of peripheral nerve damage, and others, which are not so s...

Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2 is defined as adrenal insufficiency associated with autoimmune primary hypothyroidism and/or with autoimmune type 1 diabetes mellitus, but very rare with myasthenia gravis. Case report. We presented a case of an autoimmune polyglandular syndrome, type 2 associated with myasthenia gravis. A 49-year-old female with symptoms of muscle weakness and low serum levels of cortisol and aldosterone was already diagnosed with primary adrenal insufficiency. Primary hypothyroidism was identified with low values of free thyroxine 4 (FT4) and raised values of thyroidstumulating hormone (TSH). The immune system as a cause of hypothyroidism was confirmed by the presence of thyroid antibodies to peroxidase and TSH receptors. Myasthenia gravis was diagnosed on the basis of a typical clinical feature, positive diagnostic tests and an increased titre of antibodies against the acetylcholine receptors. It was not possible to confirm the immune nature ...

During that period she had no cardio-respiratory nor neurological complaints, and the temperature varied between 37.5oC and 38oC. Her medical history was unremarkable, without immunodeficiency. The day before admission she presented with left arm paresis and during the next day it progressed to paralysis. She had no headache. On admission the following diagnostic procedures were performed: the cranial CT scan showed two lesions (possibly meta lesions). Chest X-ray was normal. WBC=15x109/L, ESR= 90/120. On the second day following admission brain MRI showed multiple abscesses in both hemispheres, mostly in the gray/white junction. High doses of IV metronidasol, cephtriaxon and cipfloxacin were administered without obtaining specimens for micro- biological diagnosis. In next two days she developed coma, respiratory insufficiency and septic temperature. Brain surgery was not performed du...

We conducted an assessment of headache severity by using the M1GSEV questionnaire, and the quality of life assessment by using the QVM questionnaire, on a sample of 30 patients suffering from migraine. Afterwards, the research results were compared. The research results indicate that the majority of patients suffer from severe and moderate headaches. The quality of life is poorer in patients suffering from severe headaches.

Neuropathic pain, or pain associated with disease or injury to the peripheral or central nervous system, is a common symptom of a heterogeneous group of conditions, including diabetic neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia, postherpetic neuralgia and spinal cord injury. Chronic neuropathic pain should not be thought of as a symptom. It should truly be thought of as a disease with a very complicated pathophysiology. Pathophysiology. The mechanisms involved in neuropathic pain are complex and involve both peripheral and central pathophysiologic phenomenon. The underlying dysfunction may involve deafferentation within the peripheral nervous system (e.g. neuropathy), deafferentation within the central nervous system (e.g. post-thalamic stroke) or an imbalance between the two (e.g. phantom limb pain). Clinical characteristics. Neuropathic pain is non-nociceptive, in contrast to acute nociceptive pain, and it can be described as ?burning?, ?electric?, ?tingling?, and ?shooting? in...

Moreover, it is stated that extremity muscle testing correlates better with the imaging findings. On the other hand, we found fibrillation potentials and positive sharp waves in the parapinal musculature in 95% and 67.5% cases with lumbosacral and cervical radiculopathies respectively, pointing to the importance of this test. However, in recent years the sensitivity of this method is questioned, as a considerable percentage of older asymptomatic individuals demonstrate paraspinal positive sharp waves. In complicated situations, the search for abnormalities should be more extensive. Although, paraspinal EMG may be invaluable in confirming radiculopathy in the appropriate clinical context, if positive sharp waves, being the sole abnormal finding, are localized to the paraspinal muscles, especially in elderly subjects, the diagnosis remains in
