    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
