Cognitive impairment and central motor conduction time in chronic alcoholics.
The non-invasive technique of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used in 62 chronic alcoholics to assess the functional status of descending motor pathways. The main aims of this study were: to investigate asymptomatic upper motor neuron dysfunction in alcoholics as well as to assess its relationship with parameters reflecting the intensity of exposure to alcohol; and to evaluate a pos...
متن کاملCentral motor conduction time in patients with periventricular lucencies.
Central motor conduction time and regional cerebral blood flow were measured before and 20 min after intravenous injection of 17 mg/kg acetazolamide in 10 patients with periventricular lucencies (PVL) and 10 age-matched healthy controls. Central motor conduction time was measured using a magnetic stimulator and regional cerebral blood flow was measured by stable xenon computed tomography method...
متن کاملCentral motor conduction in brachial monomelic amyotrophy.
BACKGROUND Prevalence of subclinical involvement of motor pathways in clinically diagnosed Brachial Monomelic Amyotrophy (BMMA) is unknown. AIMS To determine the prevalence of subclinical involvement of central motor pathways in BMMA using transcranial magnetic stimulation. SETTING AND DESIGN Prospective case-control study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Central motor conduction time (CMCT) was de...
متن کاملCentral motor conduction is abnormal in motor neuron disease.
Conduction in the central motor pathways of the brain and spinal cord was studied in 12 patients with motor neuron disease. Six healthy volunteers served as controls. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the cortex, cervical cord, thoracic cord and conus medullaris was used to determine motor latencies to the biceps brachii, thenar eminence and tibialis anterior muscles. Prominent, and ofte...
متن کاملCentral motor conduction time in progressive multiple sclerosis. Correlations with MRI and disease activity.
The purpose of this study was to relate abnormalities of motor conduction time to the presence of spinal cord MRI lesions in progressive multiple sclerosis and to investigate the relationship between changes in motor conduction over time and clinical and MRI changes. Central motor conduction time (CMCT), serial MRI of the brain and spinal cord, and clinical evaluations were carried out in 20 pa...
