The effect of mild traumatic brain injury on peripheral nervous system pathology in wild-type mice and the G93A mutant mouse model of motor neuron disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with a risk of neurodegenerative disease. Some suggest a link between TBI and motor neuron disease (MND), including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To investigate the potential mechanisms linking TBI to MND, we measured motor function and

Motor neuron disease-like syndrome secondary to trapped fourth ventricle and obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid pathway.

Only registered users can translate articles

The trapped fourth ventricle is caused by occlusion of outlets of fourth ventricle, including cerebral aqueduct and foramina of Luschka and Magendie. It is an uncommon entity that mainly occurs in children with hydrocephalus after successful shunting of lateral ventricles. The most common etiologies

Edematous Hyponatremia Treated with Tolvaptan in a Patient with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients rarely present with either syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion or generalized edema. Tolvaptan is a selective vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist that produces effective aquaresis, and its use in ALS patients has not been previously

Eosinophilic Enteritis in Horses with Motor Neuron Disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Equine motor neuron disease (EMND) is a neuromuscular disorder that affects adult horses. Although EMND has been linked to vitamin E deficiency, its etiopathogenesis is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To describe clinical features, laboratory results, and postmortem findings in a series of

Specific antagonism of behavioral action of "uncommon" amino acids linked to motor-system diseases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) and beta-N-oxalylamino-L-alanine (BOAA) are chemically related amino acids present in the seeds of Cycas circinalis and Lathyrus sativus, respectively. Consumption of these seeds has been linked to Guam amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (BMAA) and lathyrism (BOAA; a

MR Imaging of Brachial Plexus and Limb-Girdle Muscles in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To assess brachial plexus magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features and limb-girdle muscle abnormalities as signs of muscle denervation in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). METHODS This study was approved by the local ethical committees on human studies, and written

Nerve ultrasound for differentiation between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multifocal motor neuropathy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ultrasound is useful for non-invasive visualization of focal nerve pathologies probably resulting from demyelination, remyelination, edema or inflammation. In patients with progressive muscle weakness, differentiation between multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Hepatic Campylobacter jejuni infection in patients with Castleman-Kojima disease (idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease with thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis, and organomegaly (TAFRO) syndrome).

Only registered users can translate articles

Castleman-Kojima disease, also known as idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease with TAFRO syndrome (iMCD-TAFRO), is a recently recognized systemic inflammatory disorder with a characteristic series of clinical symptoms, including thrombocytopenia (T), anasarca (A), fever (F), reticulin fibrosis

Defining peripheral nervous system dysfunction in the SOD-1G93A transgenic rat model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Growing evidence indicates that alterations within the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are involved at an early stage in the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenetic cascade. In this study, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), neurophysiologic analyses, and histologic analyses were used to

Pathologic potential of astrocytic vesicle traffic: new targets to treat neurologic diseases?

Only registered users can translate articles

Vesicles are small intracellular organelles that are fundamental for constitutive housekeeping of the plasmalemma, intercellular transport, and cell-to-cell communications. In astroglial cells, traffic of vesicles is associated with cell morphology, which determines the signaling potential and

A novel neurological phenotype in mice lacking mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase.

Only registered users can translate articles

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in a wide range of degenerative processes including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ischemic heart disease, Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease and aging. ROS are generated by mitochondria as the toxic by-products of oxidative phosphorylation, their

Hypoglycemic encephalopathy mimicking acute ischemic stroke in clinical presentation and magnetic resonance imaging: a case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

The imaging findings of hypoglycemic encephalopathy can be considerably similar to those of ischemic infarction or toxic leukoencephalopathy. We demonstrated unusual magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of hypoglycemic encephalopathy which can be confused with other pathology both

CNS recruitment of CD8+ T lymphocytes specific for a peripheral virus infection triggers neuropathogenesis during polymicrobial challenge.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although viruses have been implicated in central nervous system (CNS) diseases of unknown etiology, including multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the reproducible identification of viral triggers in such diseases has been largely unsuccessful. Here, we explore the hypothesis that

[Neuropathological perspective on single slide].

Only registered users can translate articles

During over 50 years of my career in Neuropathology at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, I have come across certain interesting neuropathological findings. In this communication, some photographs showing macroscopic, microscopic and electron microscopic significant findings are selected to

Canine Snake-Eye Myelopathy: Clinical, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Pathologic Findings in Four Cases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Intramedullary signal change (ISC) is a non-specific finding that is frequently observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of the canine spinal cord. ISC can represent a variety of primary pathological processes such as neoplasms or myelitides or secondary changes such as edema,
