Morphometric magnetic resonance imaging cortico-subcortical features in Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment

2022

Background and purpose Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with cognitive impairment undergo progressive atrophy of several cortical and subcortical areas. The aim was to study the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) morphometric features of PD patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods Patients from the Parkinson's Disease Cognitive Impairment Study (PACOS) cohort with an available structural volumetric brain MRI and morphometric measurements of the midbrain and pons areas, middle cerebellar peduncle, superior cerebellar peduncle width and midbrain anteroposterior diameter (A-Pdiam) were included. MCI was diagnosed according to the Movement Disorder Society level II criteria. Additi…

Risk factors for cognitive impairment in subjects with Behçet's disease

2004

In the present study we evaluated the prevalence and risk factors for cognitive impairment in subjects with Behçet's Disease (BD). The following risk factors were studied: age, education, disease duration, activity of disease, prednisone dosage, and anxiety and depression levels. Twenty-six BD out-patients without overt neurological involvement and 26 sex-matched controls completed a comprehensive neuropsychological battery. Compared to controls, BD subjects were significantly impaired on tasks evaluating long-term verbal and nonverbal memory, and visuospatial skills. Cognitive impairment was evident in 46.1% of BD patients compared with none of control subjects (p<.0001), with memory repr…

EMATURIA - Il termine “ematuria” indica la presenza di globuli rossi (GR) nelle urine. Può essere visibile a occhio nudo (macroematuria o ematuria macroscopica) o solo al microscopio (microematuria)5 LA COLICA RENALE - La colica reno-ureterale, nella sua manifestazione tipica, è un dolore acuto che dalla regione lombare s’irradia, anteriormente, al fianco e alla regione inguinale omolaterale (fino al testicolo nell’uomo, alle grandi labbra nelle donne). Talvolta si associa a nausea e vomito, ematuria e sintomi disurici (similcistitici). Ha una durata variabile da alcuni minuti ad alcune ore. L’alvo può essere temporaneamente chiuso ai gas. Eventuali brividi e febbre indicano un’infezione se…

THORACIC SYRINGOMYELIA IN A PATIENT WITH AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS

2015

We report a patient with bulba r - onset, clinically defined, sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis bearing an isolated syringomyelia of the lower thoracic portion of the spinal cord. This is a very unusual association between two rare and progressive disorders, both affecting the spinal motoneurons. Syringomyelia might have acted as a phenotypic modifier in this ALS patient.

Spatial-temporal interactions in the human brain

2009

The review summarises current evidence on the cognitive mechanisms for the integration of spatial and temporal representations and of common brain structures to process the where and when of stimuli. Psychophysical experiments document the presence of spatially localised distortions of sub-second time intervals and suggest that visual events are timed by neural mechanisms that are spatially selective. On the other hand, experiments with supra-second intervals suggest that time could be represented on a mental time-line ordered from left-to-right, similar to what is reported for other ordered quantities, such as numbers. Neuroimaging and neuropsychological findings point towards the posterio…

European core curriculum in neurorehabilitation.

2017

Item does not contain fulltext To date, medical education lacks Europe-wide standards on neurorehabilitation. To address this, the European Federation of NeuroRehabilitation Societies (EFNR) here proposes a postgraduate neurorehabilitation training scheme. In particular, the European medical core curriculum in neurorehabilitation should include a two-year residency in a neurorehabilitation setting where trainees can gain practical experience. Furthermore, it should comprise six modules of classroom training organized as weekend seminars or summer/winter schools. In conclusion, after defining the European medical core curriculum in neurorehabilitation, the next activities of the EFNR will be…

Selective proper name anomia in a patient with asymmetric cortical degeneration

1998

All cases of selective anomic deficit for proper names described until now are a consequence of focal cerebral lesions. In the present paper, we report the case of a patient, AF, with a deficient access to proper names of persons and normal access to common names probably subsumed by a degenerative process of the left cerebral hemisphere. MRI evidenced an atrophy of the left temporal lobe and SPECT highlighted hypoperfusion of the left hemisphere. Neuropsychological examination documented a deficient production of proper names belonging to famous personalities both on visual presentation and verbal definition. Moreover, on verbal fluency tasks, AF was poor for the categories of famous peopl…
