thalamic pain syndrome, a type of central post-stroke pain (cpsp), may develops after a hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke and results in impairment of the thalamus. there is limited experience about gabapentin in treatment of central pains like cpsp.in a prospective observational study, the intensity of pain was recorded using the numeric rating scale (nrs) at the entrance to the study. patients e...

fructose consumption has increased dramatically in the last 40 years, and its role in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome has been implicated by many studies. it is most often encountered in the diet as sucrose (glucose and fructose) or high-fructose corn syrup (55% fructose). at high levels, dietary exposure to fructose triggers a series of metabolic changes originating in the liver, le...

androctonus crassicauda is the second most frequent causes of scorpion sting in south-west iran. its venom can cause sever pain, autonomic, central nervous system (cns), muscle function disturbances, and death. appropriate medi­cal and nursing cares can lead to complete recovery with no sequel .the majority of scorpion stings are oligosympto­matic, occurring mainly on the hands and feet (about ...

myelodysplastic syndromes (mds) are a group of hematological disorders ranging from chronic refractory anemia to leukemia. there are some reports about association of mds with autoimmune disorders and vasculitis. in this study we describe a patient with mds and vasculitis presenting with central nervous system (cns) involvement. a clinical response to immunosuppressive therapy was also observed...

abstract aim: to assess anti-neuronal antibodies (na) prevalence and their correlation with neurological disorders and bowel habits in celiac disease (cd) patients. background: neurological manifestations are estimated to occur in about 10% of celiac disease patients and na to central nervous system (cns) and enteric nervous system (ens) are found in a significant proportion of them. little is ...

microglia is a type of glial cell located throughout the central nervous system (cns), which is sensitive to cns injury and disease. responsibility of microglia as the resident macrophage cells for injuries suggests that these cells have the potential to act as diagnostic markers of disease beginning or progression. function of microglia is strongly synchronized by the microenvironment of brain...

A Central nervous system (CNS) hemorrhage is bleeding in or around the brain and spinal cord. Reasons of CNS hemorrhage include high blood pressure, cancers, drug abuse, abnormally weak blood vessels that leakage, and trauma. Regression of CNS bleeding was confirmed to be relatively repetitive in patients with severe FV, FX, FVII and FXIII deficiencies. Generally in CNS hemorrhage, radiological...

background : primary central nervous system involvement and central nervous system relapse are poor prognostic events in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. due to severe skeletal and endocrine complications of craniospinal radiotherapy, only cranial radiotherapy is advisable. however only 15% of the cases with central nervous system relapse may remain in remission; a second central nervous system or...
