introduction: traditional iranian medicine (tim) is accompanied by little side effects in experience. the mechanisms involved in tim are not much clear. the purpose of this study is assessment of differences of warm and cold nature persons in neuroendocrine system and cytokine pattern (th1/th2) of immune responses. methods: thirty seven 20 to 40 years old male volunteers were divided into 2 gro...

An animal’s nervous system consists of two major parts the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system. The somatic nerves* and autonomic nerves make up the peripheral nervous system. One function of the nervous system is to organize the physical movement of the body. Another function is to respond to the actions of all the ...

Demyelinating diseases alter myelin or the coating surrounding most nerve fibers in central and peripheral nervous systems. The grouping of human system demyelinating disorders today includes multiple sclerosis (MS) neuromyelitis optica spectrum (NMOSD) as distinct disease categories. Each is caused by a complex combination genetic environmental variables, many involving an autoimmune response....

Chronic low-dose exposure to solvents has been associated in epidemiologic studies with chronic neurotoxicity, but the evidence is not consistent. Styrene causes acute disturbances in the central and peripheral nervous systems. To determine if exposure to styrene may contribute to chronic diseases of the central nervous system, the authors examined mortality from nervous system diseases, mental...

We present a patient with a subacute asymmetrical sensorimotor polyneuropathy. The pathological features were predominantly loss of nerve fibers, axonal degeneration and healed vasculitis. The epineural vessels were involved, while endoneurial capillaires were preserved. Muscle biopsy revealed neurogenic features with normal blood vessels. After three years, motor and sensory function was almos...

Dr. Pritchard's Aids to Neurology is a handy book on the diseases of the nervous system, intended for the use of students in the early years of their clinical training. The book comprises five chapters, a preliminary one being devoted to anatomical and physiological considerations of different parts of the nervous system and a description of symptoms arising out of regional disturbances of this...

Neurological diseases are defined as an inappropriate function of the peripheral or central nervous system due to impaired electrical impulses throughout the brain and/or nervous system that may present with heterogeneous symptoms according to the parts of the system involved in these pathologic processes. Growing evidence on genetic components of neurological disease have been collected during...
