Improvement of neurological status and quality of life in children with opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome at long-term follow-up.

29 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Kinsbourne syndrome or opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is characterized by rapid, involuntary, irregular conjugate eye movements (opsoclonus), myoclonic jerking of the limbs and trunk, ataxia, and behavioral disturbances. In general, ... Read more...

Subcortical vascular versus amnestic mild cognitive impairment: comparison of cerebral glucose metabolism.

Nov 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Most studies on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have been focused on amnestic MCI (aMCI) that is the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In contrast, only a few studies have involved patients in the preclinical ... Read more...

The PPARalpha agonist fenofibrate preserves hippocampal neurogenesis and inhibits microglial activation after whole-brain irradiation.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Whole-brain irradiation (WBI) leads to cognitive impairment months to years after radiation. Numerous studies suggest that decreased hippocampal neurogenesis and microglial activation are involved in the pathogenesis of WBI-induced brain ... Read more...
