Central sensory-motor deficit after uneventful single-dose spinal morphine administration in a patient with preexisting migraine headaches.

30 Oct 2009 Hemiplegic migraine is a condition associated with vascular alteration of the central nervous system and transient neurologic deficits. Permanent morphine-induced motor dysfunction has been reported after spinal ischemia. We report a persisting ... Read more...

The effect of prolonged-release melatonin on sleep measures and psychomotor performance in elderly patients with insomnia.

30 Aug 2009 Objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of prolonged-release melatonin 2 mg (PRM) on sleep and subsequent daytime psychomotor performance in patients aged > or =55 years with primary insomnia, as defined by fourth revision of the ... Read more...

Executive function and attention are preserved in older surgically menopausal monkeys receiving estrogen or estrogen plus progesterone.

17 Aug 2009 Animal models of menopause have been used to further define the cognitive processes that respond to hormone therapy and to investigate parameters that may influence the cognitive effects of estrogen. Many investigations in animals have focused on ... Read more...
