Electrotonic potentials allow the accommodative processes to long-lasting subthreshold polarizing stimuli to be assessed. The present study investigates such potentials in previously simulated cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, termed as ALS1, ALS2 and ALS3, respectively, when the temperature
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether transplanting olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) is effective in controlling or reversing the deterioration caused by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
METHODS
Between February 2003 and April 2006, 327 patients (241 males and 86 females) with probable or definite
OBJECTIVE
This Phase I trial of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) delivered intrathecally for the treatment of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was designed to determine the safety of this new mode of administration as well as the pharmacokinetics and drug distribution.
METHODS
CNTF was
The present study investigates action potential abnormalities in previously simulated cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, termed as ALS1, ALS2 and ALS3, respectively, when the temperature is changed from 20[Formula: see text]C to 42[Formula: see text]C. These ALS cases are modeled as three
The present study investigates the temperature dependence of electrotonic potentials in mathematically-simulated myelinated axons with one of three increasingly-severe type of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathology, termed as ALS1, ALS2 and ALS3, respectively, in the physiological range
6 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis were treated with intravenous infusion of 100-200 million IU per day of human leukocyte interferon. Side effects of treatment included fever, chills, malaise, nausea, marked leukopenia, mild anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Tiredness, confusion,
Our objective was to describe cases of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) in advanced amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients and discuss its pathophysiology. Five ventilator-dependent patients with ALS, with no previous history of diabetes, showed development of marked hyperglycemia
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
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and immunological effects of intrathecal and intravenous administration of autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) (also called mesenchymal stromal cells) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
METHODS
A phase
Clinical, serologic, epidemiological and neurological studies were carried out in 23 patients (18 men, 5 women) aged 15-69 years who had chronic Russian tick-borne encephalitis (RTE). With permanent stable humoral immunity the fact that these forms might develop was confirmed in 73.9% of the cases.
A 64-year-old male patient diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 2 years ago was admitted with fever and chills. The patient had complex medical history and several indwelling catheters/tubes in his body. To identify the infection focus, 67Ga whole-body scintigraphy and SPECT/CT were
We report a 54-year-old man with progressive generalized muscle atrophy and ophthalmoparesis in the terminal stage. He was well until 44 years of age (1982) when he noted weakness in his right hand and muscle atrophy; in May of 1985, he noted weakness in his left hand and in both legs. His weakness
The cognitive effects of high-dose human leukocyte alpha-interferon (IFN-alpha) treatment were evaluated among 15 patients with the newly diagnosed spinal form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To confirm the earlier findings showing reversible effects on cognitive performance and to exclude
Ralstonia species are Gram-negative bacilli that have increasingly been recognized as emerging nosocomial pathogens, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. Ralstonia pickettii is the most clinically important pathogen from the Ralstonia genus. Nosocomial outbreaks of Ralstonia pickettii infections
