Convulsion is the most common clinical manifestation of neonatal central nervous system dysfunction. the incidence of convulsion is very high in neonatal period, especially in the first week after birth. the incidence of convulsion decreases gradually with the increase of age. The incidence of
Hyponatraemia is a common electrolyte abnormality which is hospital-acquired in two-thirds of cases, and can lead to obtundation, seizures, encephalopathy and death. In children, the use of hypotonic maintenance fluids had been routine until recent evidence showing that they were associated with an
PRIMARY AIM:
To evaluate the efficacy of "optimal hydration" during labor in nulliparous pregnant women attended for spontaneous or induced deliveries with respect to the reduction in dilation times, second stage of labor and total labor time.
METHODOLOGY A randomized controlled clinical trial, with
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis can occur at any age, but usually affects children and young adults. The mean age of clinical presentation in pediatric cohorts ranges from 5 to 8 years. The annual incidence of Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is reported to be 0.4-0.8 per 100,000 and the
The Italian Registry of Cardiac Arrest (RIAC) has been established in Italy by the Italian Resuscitation Council (IRC). It is a free web registry based on Utstein style data collection for all EMS and ICU departments that want to participate to this study.

Unclear transient loss of consciousness is a frequent interdisciplinary diagnostic problem. Of particular importance is the distinction between epileptic and non-epileptic events. Our group showed in two previous studies that serum lactate is elevated in epileptic seizures, but mostly not in
Depressive disorders are among the most disabling medical conditions worldwide and currently available treatments fall short of addressing this large public health burden. Dysfunction within the brain reward system is emerging as a core feature of depressive disorders, in particular related to
During the study, the sodium channel blockers phenytoin and lacosamide and the potassium channel blocker kinidinsulfate will be given under standardized conditions to patients with an early onset and pharmaco-resistant genetic epilepsy with and without mutations in the potassium channels KCNT1 and
Fluid therapy is aimed to compensate for fasting which is required for surgery, to meet the ongoing fluid losses and to maintain electrolyte balance during surgery. Fluid deficit of a healthy child who is not fed parenterally may be estimated by multiplying hourly maintenance requirement for fluid
An autoimmune disease occurs when a person's immune system begins to respond to normal bodily substances and tissues as if it were foreign or related to disease. There are a number of autoimmune disorders, some of which can affect the brain by targeting the surface of brain cells, for example
Fampridine (4-aminopyridine) is a potassium channel blocker that has been studied since the 1970s for its effect on amplifying conductivity in peripheral nerves, potentiating neurotransmitter release in muscles and increasing post-synaptic action potentials in the spinal cord. It was tested in other
BACKGROUND INFORMATION Patients with secondary progressive MS (SPMS) and primary progressive MS (PPMS) have significant walking disability and impaired upper limb function due to repeated demyelination and axonal injury affecting the corticospinal pathways. In some patients this motor deficit may be
More than half of LEMS cases are associated with malignancy, usually small cell lung cancer. These paraneoplastic cases progress more quickly than primary autoimmune LEMS. An overlap syndrome with other autoimmune diseases is often detected in LEMS patients.
3,4 DAP is effective in LEMS because it
Background In 2007 Colombia was one of the five countries in the world with the highest number of anti-personnel landmine victims [1]. These are small devices designed to injure or kill people and animals by exploding when a minimum pressure is exerted on them (approximately 6 Force-Kg) [2]. Between
Specific Aim 1: Implement an integrated protocol in Sierra Leone for the management of MAM and non-complicated SAM that uses a single anthropometric indicator as well as the same food. Standard care refers to traditional, segregated treatment of MAM and SAM.
Hypothesis: An integrated management
