Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: review of the demographics, pathophysiology, current diagnosis, and treatment
(2009)Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare clinicopathological entity. The incidence of CVST in children and neonates has been reported to be as high as 7 cases per million people, whereas in adults the incidence ... -
Clinical applications of intracranial pressure monitoring in traumatic brain injury
(2014)Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has been for decades a cornerstone of traumatic brain injury (TBI) management. Nevertheless, in recent years, its usefulness has been questioned in several reports. A group of ... -
Closed-Loop Stimulation in the Control of Focal Epilepsy of Insular Origin
(2010)Background: Previous studies have shown that closed-loop or responsive neurostimulation can abort induced or spontaneous epileptiform discharges. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of a programmable cranially implanted ... -
The Effect of Alpha Antagonists on Pupil Dynamics: Implications for the Diagnosis of Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome
(2012)PURPOSE: To assess pupil dynamics quantitatively in relation to the use of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor antagonists, which contribute to the features of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome, using a new, hand-held, digital ... -
Genetic association studies in patients with traumatic brain injury
(2010)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes a major cause of mortality and disability worldwide, especially among young individuals. It is estimated that despite all the recent advances in the management of TBI, approximately ... -
Genetic basis of Parkinson disease
(2010)Over the past few years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms of Parkinson disease (PD). Mutations in certain genes are found to cause monogenic forms of the disorder, with autosomal ... -
