Introduction there are one million deaths from asphyxia in newborn annually. Management of this newborn is only supportive. Autologuse stem cell therapy may reduce mortality and long term morbidity. Outcome of asphyxiated newborn is related to damage CNS cells. Stem cells prevent Apoptosis and induce repairmen of injured neurons. Methods in a review study all article related to three keyword...

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological disorder characterized by its reversibility both radiologically and clinically, it typically has favorable prognosis. Its etiopathogenesis not clear, although known that involves endothelial dysfunction of the posterior cerebral vasculature, leading to failed autoregulation. We report patient with PRES may have been caused an...

Visual evoked potential recordings were examined in 45 liver cirrhosis patients with (n = 29) and without (n = 16) encephalopathy, in 15 normal volunteers, and in one patient with an opioid induced stupor state. Visual evoked potential parameters were classified on the basis of EEG recordings. Plasma concentrations of amino acids, octopamine, and ammonia were assayed in order to document the me...

OBJECTIVES To establish better operational criteria for the diagnosis of Wernicke's encephalopathy. Current criteria for diagnosing Wernicke's encephalopathy require the presence of three clinical signs (oculomotor abnormalities, cerebellar dysfunction, and an altered mental state), although it has often been reported that most patients do not fulfil all these criteria. METHODS The clinical h...

Metronidazole-induced encephalopathy (MIE) is a rare cause of drug-induced toxic encephalopathy. We report the clinical and neuroimaging findings of a patient with chronic diarrhoea who developed metronidazole-induced encephalopathy. After the drug was discontinued there was complete reversal of the condition.

Two cases of acute encephalopathy in young children clearly showed evidence of influenza A virus infection and bilateral thalamic lesions. Influenza-associated encephalopathy with bilateral thalamic lesions has mostly been reported in Japan; it differs from Reye's syndrome in several respects. Other factors in addition to influenza virus infection may have contributed to the etiology of encepha...

Valacyclovir, a prodrug of acyclovir, may cause adverse drug reactions, so called acyclovir encephalopathy. The encephalopathy not be explained simply by blood concentrations, because recent reports suggest the involvement 9-carboxymethoxymethylguanine (CMMG), major metabolite acyclovir. present study demonstrates changes in serum concentrations and CMMG patient with suspected A 63-year-old mal...

Aim: The GRIN2D gene mutation causes severe forms of epileptic encephalopathy. NMDAR antagonists and magnesium sulfate could be useful as adjunctive therapy to control seizures in individuals with aim this study was describe the clinical features treatment options encephalopathy.Methods: Patients followed up encephalopathy our pediatric neurology clinic were investigated for genetic etiology us...

OBJECTIVE: To analyze international research trends in hepatic encephalopathy and examine the role of neuroelectrophysiology and neuroimaging in diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy. DATA RETRIEVAL: We performed a bibliometric analysis of studies on hepatic encephalopathy published during 2002–2011 retrieved from Web of Science. SELECTION CRITERIA: Inclusion criteria: (1) peer-reviewed published...

Sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a poorly understood condition that is associated with severe sepsis and appears to have a negative influence on survival. The incidence of encephalopathy secondary to sepsis is unknown. Amino acid derangements, blood-brain barrier disruption, abnormal neurotransmitters, and direct CNS effect are possible causes of septic encephalopathy. Research has not...
