[1] it is recognized that various types of thalassemia are inherited anemia caused by mutations at the globin gene, affecting the production of é‘ - or β-globin protein. the anemia interferes with red cell maturation. [2] β-globin gene mutations give rise ...

BACKGROUND A large body of evidence suggests impaired context processing in schizophrenia. Here we propose that this impairment arises from defective integration of mediotemporal 'what' and 'where' routes, carrying object and spatial information to the hippocampus. METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS We have previously shown, in a mediotemporal lobe (MTL) model, that the abnormal connectivity between MT...

Casual observations of patients with focal frontal lobe lesions often reveal little if any cognitive impairment (Fuster, 1989; Hebb, 1945). At the same time, such patients display an assortment of cognitive deficits upon neuropsychological assessment (Janowsky et al., 1989c; Luria, 1980; Stuss & Benson, 1984). With respect to memory, focal frontal injury does not produce a severe amnesic disord...

We report a series a three psychophysical experiments designed to differentiate the contributions of the neocerebellar and prefrontal cortex to time perception. Comparison of patients with focal, unilateral neocerebellar or prefrontal lesions on temporal discrimination of 400-ms and 4-s intervals (Expt. 1) indicated that neocerebellar damage impaired timing in both millisecond and seconds range...

BACKGROUND One of the main cognitive models of positive symptoms in schizophrenia proposes that they arise through impaired self-monitoring. This is supported by evidence of behavioural deficits on tasks designed to engage self-monitoring, but these deficits could also result from an externalising response bias. We examined whether patients with hallucinations and delusions would demonstrate an...

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is an involuntary contraction of muscles on one side the face. It caused by compression facial nerve blood vessels. Microvascular decompression (MVD) effective treatment for HFS. However, complications such as hearing loss and dizziness may occur due to deficits during surgery. To prevent this, neural monitoring performed with brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs)....

Various intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) helps in assessing the integritry of neural pathways during surgical treatment. IONM is an assistive tool to preserve fuction brain, brainstem, cranial nerve, spinal cord and peripheral nerves a great assest for neurosurgeons. Different application includes: MEP, SSEP, ABR, VEP, BCR AMR. Intraoperative neuromonitoring has become integr...
