Summary: The autors evaluate the most frequent causes of seizures in
562patients admitted at the emergency out-patient ward because offits. 194
patients were admitted because of the first occurrenceof seizures, in 12 of
them the first manifestation was statusepilepticus of the generalized (8),
or focal type(4). Thecommonest causes of seizures were alcoholism(82),
disturbances ofthe brain blood flow(74), posttraumatic states(20),
braintumor(4), or encephalopaties. In 11 patients the cause ofseizures was
not found. Beside the causes, the authors stressedthe most frequent type of
seizures, as well as therapeuticmeasures. They pointed out that in
alcoholism generalizedseizures, and grand mal status were the commonest
expression ofseizures. The same was found in patients with
posttraumaticseizures, but they mostly suffred single attacks, and the same
inencephalopaties. In the patients with vascular lesions focalseizures were
not rare. The antiepileptic therapy is not appliedin the first occurrence
of convulsions, therapz is causal, linkedprimarily to basic
etiopathogenetic mechanism responsible fortriggering seizures.

Summary: Reactive hyperglicaemia is a phenomena well known to accur
duringsome stress situations, such as surgical procedures, infestionsand
severe posttraumatic and postburn states, as well as incerebrovascular
accident. The authors investigated glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin, and
fructosamin values in blood andcerebrospinal fluid following ischemic and
hemorrhagic stroke in148 patients.Patients were divided in four groups
depending uponprior anamnesis of diabetes, and depending upon blood
glucosedegrees after stroke. Good correlation was found between valuesof
glucose and fructosamine in blood, and poor between totalprotein amount and
fructosamine. In cerebrospinal fluidsignificant correlation was found
between fructosamine and totalprotein amount. The author discussed
possibility of fructosaminepenetrate the blood brain barrier but the
mechanism of theirtransport has not yet been elucidated. Results of study
pointedout certain role of stress and parenchymal damage in
reactivehyperglicemia with short duration.

Summary: In order to determine genetic differences between 50
examineeswith ischemic cerebrovascular accident (ICVA) and those
ofcomparative group, we have chosen 1883 persons from phenotypichealthy
population divided into 5 different subgroup. The purposeof our
investigation was exploring hereditary characteristic ofantigens linked to
erytrocite membrane. The highestdiscriminating value in genetic distance
had MN and AB0 geneticloci. The frequency of the blood group A in the
patients with ICVwas 32,68% in the comparative group. Blood B had frequency
in thepatients 10,69% and in comparative group 6,72% 0 blood group
hadfrequency in patients 56,73 and in the comparative group 66,12%.Genetic
distance between patients with ICVA and comparative groupwere determined
with gene frequencies, that was shown on thedendrogram. The dendrogram
clearly shows that patients with ICVAare separated from all other
comparative subgroups. The resultsof our investigation presented the
highest discriminating valueof MN and AB0 genetic loci. The possibility of
likage betweengenetic loci for these erythrocyte antigenes (on 4th and
9thchromosome) and genetic loci which determine ICVA cannot beexcluded.
Finally we consider that this method can supportearlier identification of
persons who belong to "high risk groupfor cerebrovascular disease".

Summary: The persence of various heme derivates can be
demonstratedspectrophotometrically in colorless cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF).Because of high sensitivity of the method it may detect compoundsthat
reflect s "traumatic tap" rather than a disease process.However, the
persence of methemoglobin excludes the possibilityof a hemorrhagic CSF
being caused by traumatic lumbar puncture.Here we describe a highly
sensitive spectrophotometric methodinvolving measurement at the Soret band
(400-420 mm) to detectmethemoglobin (>15%) in trace amounts of hemoglobin
mixture(>0,3umol/l). We demonstrated methemoglobin in colorless CSFsamples
in 9% of 454 patients with cerebrovascular pathology andin 4% of 449
patients with other neurological disease (n=449). Ina group of 21 patients
with verified acute cerebral hematomasmethemoglobin was confirmed in 66% of
colorless CFS samples afterultrafiltration. We conclude that routine
spectrophotometricanalysis of CSF samples is very useful, alowing detection
ofxantochromic compounds of patients with small cerebral andsubdural
hematomas, as well as in those with minimalsubarachnoidal hemorrhages,
hemorrhagic infarctions, or bleedingsfrom aneurysms and neoplasms.

Summary: Cerebrovascular diseases make major problem to the
humanitynowddays. They are ranked third in the last of
deathcauses,following cardiovascular and malignant disease. Rheologyis
defined as a study on blood flow and deformations of corpuscleblood element
and of the medium where corpuscle ellements aresituated. The investigation
into factors influencing cerebralblood flow is significant to
pathophysiological researches intoischemic cerebrovascular disease. This
study was aimed to at thevalue of fibrinogen and blood plasma osmolarity.
Along withevaluation of fibrinogen and blood plasma osmolarity, the
degreeof motoric deficiency and consciousness disturbances weremonitored.
All indicators set above, were being determined duringthe first 24 hours
after the onest of the disease, then after 72hours and llastly on the ninth
day of the disease. The sameprocedure was applied to the controls. The
group of investigatedpatients as well as control one, consisted of 20 men
and 20 womenfrom 40-70 years of age. On the basis of the investigation
intothe above indicators, the conclusion about fibrinogen values inplasma
of great significance in diagnostic and further follow-upof cerebrovascular
insult was reached. Within first few daysafter the insult, blood plasma
osmolarity values are ofparticular significance since after, these vallues
becomeinsignificant for the further follow-up of ischemiccerebrovascular
disturbances.

Summary: A group of 45 lubermen with vibration-induced attacks
ofRaynaud's syndrome (VRS) and control group of 45 patients withprimary
Raynaud's syndrome (PRS) were examined by method ofcomputerized color
telethermography (CCTT). The examinations werefirst performed in the native
state and then after the procedureof cryoactivation. In wiev of our
results, we think that inpatients with PRS, attacks are caused by
functional centralhyperreflexion. In patients with VRS organic peripheral
lesionscaused secondary central denervation hypersensitivity. Our
studyshowed the differentiation between primary and secondaryRaynaud's
syndrome by CCTT to be very simple and reliable.
Keywords: computerized color telethermography (CCTT), thermic amputation (TA), primary Raynaud's syndrome (PRS), vibration induced Raynaud's syndrome (VRS), longitudinal thermal gradient (LTG), denervation hypersensitivity, anisothermia.

Summary: A group of five patients who suffered an ishemic
cerebrovascular accident (CVA) were studied between two and five months
post incident. They all were approaching or in complete recovery of motor
function at the time of the study. Fine motor performance, attention and
short-term memory were assesed and compared with performance of a
comparable group healthy volunteers. Although the small size of the subject
groups preclude any general conclusions to be made, the data obtained
suggest that patients recovering from CVA, who demonstrate minor neurologic
deficits on standard testing, still suffer from persistent, albeit
subclinical, motor disturbances, a short-term memory deficit and other
attention difficulties.

Summary: Authors have observed a 25-year-old female patient who
developed the first signs and symptoms of the peroneal muscular atrophy at
the age of 10. Her mother was diagnosed as Charcot Marie Tooth disease type
1 too, her sister had the same disorder and is also in compensated status.
Her son developed first signs in his early childhood. Ewing's sarcoma was
diagnosed one year later and several months after that patient died. The
question to be asked is whether the second generation is also more
susceptible to other disorders as it is obvious with the described family.

Summary: The cases of two boys, 9 and 13 years old, with different
clinical features and positive results of focusing on polyacrylamide gel
(PAG) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), taken by lumbar puncture, are
presented. The clinical picture of these two boys is not typical for
multiple sclerosis. Both had changes of the VEP and one of them in the MRI.
On the basis of the above mentioned findings we are not sure whether we are
dealing with multiple sclerosis. The clinical evolution of the disease will
prove whether the focusing on PAG is the most relevant diagnostic method on
recognizing multiple sclerosis in the first of its appearance.

Summary: In children aged 1,5 to 15 years, clinical examination,
thermography, and sensory motor neurography of at least three nerves were
performed. The authors studied 6 children with Guillain-Barre syndrome, 1
with acute myeloradiculoneuritis, 3 with chronic demyelinating
polyneuropathy, 2 with chronic bilateral lumbosacral plexitis and 2 with
hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type I and II. Infrared
thermography and electroneurography were performed 7-20 days after the
beginning of clinical symptoms. Thermographic asymmetry were in positive
correlation with sensory nerve abnormalities and less so with the motor,
imaging sensory disturbances that are usually not attainable in children.

Summary: Neurovegetative tests of cardiovascular function are based
on theresponse of heart-rate and blood pressure to variety of stimuli.Those
tests are simple and noninvasive, reflective, if present,the damage of
autonomic nervous system. In this work we tested183 patients who suffered
mild to severe head trauma with bateryof neurovegetative tests: orthostatic
pressure reaction, corticalactivation, Valsalva manuver, and respiratory
sinus arrhytmia. Inour group 48,8% of patients had pathological findings.
Ourconclusion pointed out that patients who suffered head traumahave more
often damage of autonomic nervous function thanexpected in healthy
population, and that neurovegetative testscan help in diagnosting of
subclinical posttraumaticencephalopathy.
Keywords: neurovegetative tests, autonomic nervous system, head trauma, orthostatic hypotension, Valsalva manuver, respiratory sinus arrhytmia.

Summary: Damaged tissue in either hemisphere is supposed to
exaggerate the emotional and thinking patterns characteristic for that
hemisphere. Wada registered that examines whose left hemisphere has been
inactivated report feeling of depression more often that their right
hemisphere counterparts. In our material we used Plutchik and Kellerman's
Profile Emotional Index (PIE) for the evaluation of lateralisation in
patients of both gender suffering from cerebral infarction. Investigation
was carried out on 56 individuals with stroke, divided in two groups: 1)28
examinees with left hemisphere infarction, average age was 56,4+/-11,67
years and 2)28 examinees with right hemisphere infarction, average age was
52,93+/-11,67 years. Interhemispheral differences in emotional reactivity
were registered and expressed for each of 8 analysed personality habitual
patterns and qualities of behaviour.

Summary: Twenty -three subjects healthy subjects(control) and 29
patient with multiple sclerosis were studied. In control group there were 6
male and 12 female, mean age 38+/-12,5. In patient group there were 12 male
and 17 female with mean age 40+/-14 years in patient group. Diagnosis of
multiple sclerosis had been established on the basis of Poser criteria and
neurological state was assessed according to the Kurdske Disability Status
Scale(KDSS) and EDSS. None of patients and controls had clinical signs of
cardiac disease or abnormalities in the EKG at rest. Orthostatic
hypotension was found in three(10,3%), borderline values in 9(31%)patients.
None of control group have Orthostatic hypotension. Variation of pulse
reaction was abnormal in 20(6,8%)patients and slightly abnormal in
4(17%)examinees of control group. Valsalva ratio was abnormal in
18(62%)patients(12 women,6 male), and in 6(26%)examinees of control group.
RSA was abnormal in 13(45%) patients with multiple sclerosis and none in
control group. Results of our study indicate that a significant proportion
of these patients have evidence of autonomic dysfunction affecting the
cardiovascular system. Autonomic disturbances could be results of patchy
lesions in central connections of reflex pathways. The fact that plaques in
multiple sclerosis a common in periventricular region where the neurones
regulating cardiac and respiratory functions are located support our
observations. However lack of correlation between the abnormalities
observed in the other tests demand further discussion.

Summary: CCTT has been developed as an alternative technique of
recording the status of nerves with cutaneous distribution. Skin
temperature reflects disturbances in peripheral nerve function of
sympathetic vasomotor control being visualised as skin temperature changes.
CCTT has been performed in 6 children aged 1,5-15 year with GBS 7-20 days
after beginning the clinical picture, and correlated with
electroneurographic findings. Hypothermia mostly pronounced on lower
extramities was found in all patients with GBS. Sensory disturbances
together with paresthesias and radicular pain correlated with hypothermia
on upper and lower extremities in two patients. Only one patients with
normal sensory neurographic findings showed slight hypothermia localised
distally on upper extramities. Distal leg hypothermia was associated with
low distal CMAP and prolonged distal latencies in five patients. Decreased
motor conduction velocities were associated with distal leg hypothermia in
3 patients. Proximal conduction block on upper extremities correlated with
hypothermia on upper extremities in 3 patients. Thermal amputation of hands
and legs was found in a child with generalised absent sensory nerve
potentials, proximal conduction block and slightly decreased MCV. Thermal
abnormalities were found in all patients with GBS correlating better with
sensory nerve than with motor nerves abnormalities. This observation lead
to the conclusion that thermography demonstrates the perallel course of
somatic sensory and sympathetic nerve fibbers and dependency of skin
temperature on vasomotor tone. Therefore sensory disturbances could be
detected by colour changes in thermographic images. Correlating CCTT and
EMNG significant difference exist while EMNG evaluates alpha motor and beta
sensory fibbers, and thermography is demonstrating information relative to
the sensory autonomic or C fibbers.

Meeting: 11th International symposium on Parkinson's disease, Roma
Held: from 03/26/94 to 03/30/94
Summary: Fiftynine patients with Parkinson disease were divided into
three groups. According to Hoehn and Yahr rating scale and previous
treatment in the first group (Hoehn and Yahr I-II) 18 patients, without
previous treatment, in second group (Hoehn and Yahr II-III) 11 patients
with anticholinergic therapy and in the third group (Hoehn and Yahr IV) 30
patients with Levodopa therapy (Madopar). Were selected Ortostatic pressure
reaction (OPR), heart rate (HR), cortical activation (CA), Valsalva
manoeuver (VM) and respiratory sinus arrhytmia (RSA) has been tested.
Abnormality of RSA was the most pronounced pathological parameter in all
three gruops. Abnormalities of OPR and CA and HR pointed to the abnormality
of efferent sympathetic pathways and they were present in relativly
constant not high percentage in all three groups. In concordance with
similar studies they may indicate a central lesion of sympathetic pathways,
but the fact that there is no pathological correlation for such explanation
make this conclusion speculative, and demand further investigations in
autonomic nervous system disorders in Parkinson disease.W

Held: from 04/26/94 to 04/29/94
Summary: We have observed five patients with myasthenia gravis and
localized muscular atrophy. The first signs of muscular atrophy were
usually perceived after five or ten years treatment only with
anticholinesterase drugs. Three of them received only anticholinesterase
therapy throughout a period of ten to twenty years. When we started to
treat those patients, the immunosuppressive therapy was introduced. The
activity of the affected muscels has shown mild improvement after three to
four months of immunosuppressive therapy. Extensor muscle groups of the
hands and feet have been perceived as more frequently given to atrophy.
There is only one patient with anticholinesterase drug and
immunosuppressive therapy and he developped a mild tongue atrophy after
sixteen years of the disorder beginning. Only an anticholinesterase drug
therapy may contribute to localized muscle atrophy but it is difficult to
find an explanation for the special incidence of the extensor muscle group
change.

Meeting: 5th International Symposium on ALS/MND
Held: from 11/07/94 to 11/09/94
Summary: ALS/MND has been an incurable disorder until our time. Only
palliative care can ameliorate the ALS/MND patients sufferings. The patient
goes through a period of denying the problem and hiding his/her suffering
from family and friends. Some patients develop depression and complain
about their condition, while very few become rather reactive. We observed a
group of 17 ALS/MND patients, 6 female and 11 male. Pour women and 7 med
died. They suffered from ALS/MND two to four years before death. We noticed
that during the war the disorder was more progressive. Respiratory
insufficiency in the terminal stage of the disease was the main cause of
death. Out of 11 patients 8 died at home according to their own and 3 died
in the hospital. The patients were divided into several groups according to
the initial signs and symptoms. The most severe course was found in the
group of patients whose troubles started with bulbar signs and symptoms,
and in those with atrophy of hands. Correlation between clinical signs and
symptoms and age was not found. Our patients were aged from 40 to 78 years.
Sincere words of support and understanding without over-protection and
sympathy can be very helpful. It is necessary that the patients and their
families know all about this disorder, because in that way the relationship
between patients and therapist will be positive and more useful.
