The term 'Charles Bonnet syndrome' refers to visual pseudohallucinations occurring especially in elderly people with reduced visual acuity. Despite numerous case reports, few successful methods of treatment have been described. Therapies with classical neuroleptics, antidepressants or
The Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) commonly designates visual hallucinations (VH) occurring in visually impaired patients. However, there is no consensual definition. The existence of an ophthalmic disease and the absence of cognitive impairment are mandatory or not according to the proposed
BACKGROUND
Ophthalmologists may be the first to hear about formed visual hallucinations in the setting of visual loss. Although such hallucinations are likely benign and occur in association with the Charles Bonnet syndrome, it is important to be aware of the strong association of hallucinations
Visually impaired patients may experience complex visual hallucinations, a condition known as the Charles Bonnet Syndrome. Patients usually possess insight into the unreality of their visual experiences, which are commonly pleasant but may sometimes cause distress. The hallucinations consist of
BACKGROUND
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a well-recognized condition that includes a spectrum of clinicopathology conditions ranging from steatotosis to cirrhosis and liver failure. Available animal models are not ideal as they show only a partial resemblance to characteristic human
Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) is a rare clinical condition which is characterized by complex hallucinations in visually impaired patients. The pathophysiology of this disorder remains largely unknown, and there is still no proven treatment for this disease. In our study, we aimed to investigate the
Visually handicapped patients can be tormented by complex visual hallucinations (Charles Bonnet syndrome). Likewise, deaf patients and patients with impaired hearing can be plagued by auditory hallucinations, mostly involving music. Our article focuses on three female patients who suffered from
Saint Martin of Leon was a monk who lived in the 12th century. The details of his life are known because they were described by his contemporary, Lucas de Tuy, in the Liber de Miraculis Sancti Isidori. Saint Martin of Leon was a venerable old man who suffered from severe headaches, considerable
Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is characterized by the presence of visual hallucinations in elderly, mentally healthy people. We report a visually impaired 90-year-old woman suddenly complaining of visual hallucinations, suffering from hyperthyroidism and a relative digitalis overdose. The diagnosis
Retinal arteriovenous malformations represent a rare syndrome in which a direct connection of major vessels without interposition of capillaries may lead to various complications such as thrombosis and vessel occlusion. This review comprises the computer-stored data of all the 121 patients with
Escherichia coli has been most extensively used for the large-scale production of therapeutic proteins, which do not require complex glycosylation for bioactivity. In recent years tremendous progress has been made on the molecular biology, fermentation process development and protein refolding from
A group of twelve bonnet macaques (Macaca radiata) raised in partial social isolation from birth to adulthood expressed moderate-to-severe behavioral disturbance as a function of their early rearing environments. The range of these behavioral function of their early rearing environments. The range
We have evaluated an 82 years old PD patient who has acutely developed VH secondary to acute visual loss that was associated with increased electroencephalographic activity in the gamma range over the parietal, occipital and frontal regions. In this respect, we have tested the therapeutic effect of
Neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) is a degenerative corneal disease produced by different factors, including infection, trauma, and neurogenesis, that lead to trigeminal nerve damage and impaired corneal sensitivity. Extensive epithelial breakdown, impaired corneal epithelial healing and corneal
BACKGROUND
Rodent studies show that neurogenesis is necessary for mediating the salutary effects of antidepressants. Nonhuman primate (NHP) studies may bridge important rodent findings to the clinical realm since NHP-depression shares significant homology with human depression and kinetics of
