Clinical comparisons were made between Japanese patients with multiple sclerosis (66 cases) and neuro-Behçet's syndrome (23 cases). Those with neuro-Behçet showed marked male predominance, while those with multiple sclerosis showed slight female preponderance. Both showed encephalomyelopathy disseminated in time and space. Patients with multiple sclerosis, however, showed a more polyphasic cour...

The regulation of cellular zinc uptake is a key process in the overall mechanism governing mammalian zinc homeostasis and how zinc participates in cellular functions. We analyzed the zinc transporters of the Zip family in both the brain and liver of zinc-deficient animals and found a large, significant increase in Zip10 expression. Additionally, Zip10 expression decreased in response to zinc re...

Cancer immunotherapy represents the biggest change in the cancer treatment landscape in the last several years. Indeed, the clinical successes in several cancer types have generated widespread enthusiasm that immune-based treatments may influence the management of patients with malignant brain tumors as well. A number of promising clinical trials in this area are currently ongoing in neuro-onco...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-) are involved in leukocyte invasion into the central nervous system (CNS) during inflammation. In a retrospective cohort study of 18 neuro-BD patients, CSF samples were studied for MMP-9, TIMP-1 and cell characteristics in neuro-BD patients compared to 12 Headache attributed to BD (HaBD) patients, 15 multiple sclerosis (MS) and 20 Non-inflammatory Neurological Di...

This study was conducted to assess the current knowledge, attitude, and perception of Nigerian ophthalmologists toward neuro-ophthalmology; identify barriers to the uptake of neuro-ophthalmology as a desired subspecialty; and make recommendations to improve interest in neuro-ophthalmology training. This was a cross-sectional survey of ophthalmology consultants and trainees from the six geopolit...

I nterest in neuro-ophthalmology in France dates back to the 19th century with the publications by an ophthalmologist, Henri Parinaud, a collaborator of Jean-Martin Charcot in Paris. At that time, a physiologist, Claude Bernard, and a neurologist, Eugène Devic, participated in the description of various neuro-ophthalmologic syndromes. In the 1930s, academic neurologists in Paris, including Pier...

See the abstract for Chapter D1. Relatively early in neural network research there emerged an interest in analyzing and designing layered, feedforward networks augmented by some formalism stemming from the theory of fuzzy sets. One of B2.3 the first approaches was the fuzzification of the binary McCulloch–Pitts neuron (Lee and Lee 1975). B1.2 Then, several researchers looked at a typical feedfo...
