摘要:

In paraplegic patients, amputation illusions and anosognosia with phantom position illusions are distinct phenomena which do not concur in any one patient. A permanent amputation illusion regularly follows a complete spinal injury with concomitant brain concussion, whereas all patients who are conscious during their spinal trauma remain aware of their paralyzed limbs in definite phantom positions which are clearly related to the position of the body at the moment of injury.

摘要:

Nerve conduction of single impulses and the ability to transmit frequent trains of stimuli were studied in sensory median and in sural nerves of controls and patients with diabetes mellitus. Decrease of relative amplitudes and increase of relative latencies were more marked in the diabetics as compared with normal controls when trains of stimuli were applied. An altered mode of the transmission of frequent trains could be demonstrated in 7 of 9 sural nerves and in 13 of 16 median nerves, which appeared to be normal when only a single stimulus was applied.

摘要:

The problems of neuromuscular electrostimulation in patients affected by central or peripheral nervous system chronic lesions have been analysed during an interdisciplinary meeting held in Pavia on Dec. 9, 1978, and evolved to the discussion of two previous workshops concerning the same topic. The effective value of functional electrical stimulation, especially for the lower limbs, seems to be proved in some patients with upper motor neuron lesions. However, a clear definition of patient selection criteria has not been given yet, while a comparison with the results with vibratory techniques is still to be carried out. With regard to the so-called electrotherapy of denervated muscles, it has been stressed that the trophic state can also be promoted by vibratory mechanical stimulation, while the electrical stimulation could partly reduce the diffuse type of membrane excitability present in the devervated muscle fibres; this effect might interfere negatively with the process of collateral nerve sprouting.

摘要:

Computerized transaxial tomography was carried out on 112 patients with partial seizures with complex symptomatology. Structural abnormalities were defined in 33% of their studies: tumors in 8 patients, diffuse cerebral atrophy in 2, focal cortical atrophy in 27 and vascular abnormality in 1 case.

摘要:

Sebum secretion was studied in 14 parkinsonian patients before and after 3 months of treatment with L-dopa. An abnormality of sebum secretion was shown to exist in parkinsonism. In 7 patients, successfully treated with L-dopa, sebum secretion diminished and its pattern improved. In all patients, in whom L-dopa treatment did not result in noticeable clinical changes, there was no significant modification in sebum secretion. No change was observed in the secretion of sebum of 5 normal control subjects, who were given L-dopa for 1 week.

摘要:

In a series of 29 experiments in cats, the vasodilatory effect of Bencyclane on pial arterioles was investigated by means of the cranial window technique, using an image-splitting eyepiece, a photometric method or simple microscopic observation. Intravenous injection of 3 mg kg–1 led to vasodilatation in all experiments, yet decreased blood pressure within 30–40 sec until 5–6 min down to 70% of resting pressure. Mean maximal dilatation of arterioles with a 76-µm mean resting diameter was 53%. After normalization of blood pressure, arteriolar diameters remained increased by 5–10% for further 10 min, thus indicating increased cerebral blood flow for a total time of about 15 min. During intravenous infusion of 0.2–0.3 mg kg–1min–1 of the drug, pial arterioles dilated by about 10% with blood pressure remaining on resting levels. A higher dosage rate of infusion evoked further vasodilatation, yet parallel decrease of
