Five women with granulomatous uveitis were diagnosed as having probable multiple sclerosis. Three of the women developed curious iris nodules that resolved with topical prednisolone acetate treatment. The association of granulomatous type uveitis, with or without iris nodules, should alert the ophthalmologist to inquire about neurological symptoms attributable to multiple sclerosis.

Neurologic involvement of Lyme disease typically consists of meningitis, cranial neuropathy, and radiculoneuritis, alone or in combination, lasting for months. From 1976 to 1983, we studied 38 patients with Lyme meningitis. Headache and mild neck stiffness, which fluctuated in intensity, and lymphocytic pleocytosis were the common findings. Half of the patients also had facial palsies, which we...

Wilson’s disease is a disorder of copper metabolism leading to accumulation the metal in different organ. Hepatic manifestation tend occurs first decade and neurological symptoms third decade. Neurological are said worsen with chelation therapy.

Viruses are now known to consist of only two major components; the nucleic acid which is essential for infectivity and an external covering to protect this. Visualization of this external shall by electron microscopy has revealed that viruses display distinctive arrangements of sub-units by which they can be both recognized and characterized. This has made it possible to classify viruses accord...

Computational models have contributed to current understanding of normal brain function, and can offer new insights into the pathophysiology of neurological disease. We define some of the outstanding clinical questions in stroke, CNS injury, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy from a neurologist's perspective, and discuss the potential impact of computational neurology on com...

Neurological disease may result in respiratory dysfunction; however the manifestations of respiratory dysfunction in such patients may be atypical because of wider effects of their underlying condition. In the present review we have considered separately acute neuromuscular respiratory disease (as well as aspects of respiratory muscle function relevant to intensive care), chronic neuromuscular ...

A tick-bite associated rash with later neurological manifestations, including pa­ ralysis and meningitis, had been docu­ mented in Europe for several years before Lyme arthritis was recognized in the 1970s.-4 The illness was later understood to be part of a multisysrem disease caused by spirochetae and transmitted by Ixodes ticks. . " Borrelia burgdorferi, although initially thought to be a sin...

On January 25 (World Leprosy Day), the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy Associations (ILEP) organised many events that tried to change the negative stereotypes still associated with the commonest treatable peripheral neuropathy in the world. As The Lancet Neurology went to press, the 17th International Leprosy Congress was taking place in Hyderabad, India, from Jan 30 to Feb 4, with an ...

Abs t r ac t . It is well known that many neurological diseases leave a fingerprint in voice and speech production. The dramatic impact of these pathologies in life quality is a growing concert. Many techniques have been designed for the detection, diagnose and monitoring the neurological disease. Most of them are costly or difncult to extend to primary services. The present paper shows that so...

“Diseases mongering”, than a simple definition would be enforced "to promote or sell disease". The main and common characteristhics of all these "diseases" is that they are amenable to treatment with drugs. So, the pharmaceutical industry redefining the concept of disease, the normal and pathological. In Neurology exploits the deepest atavistic fears of suffering and death. We select some disea...
