A computer support system for neurological anatomical diagnosis.
Clin Neurol Neurosurg
December 2008
Objectives: Accurate neurological diagnoses are often difficult to make due to the complexity of the neuroanatomy involved. This study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of a computer system with easily retrievable anatomical information as a support for arriving at more accurate anatomic diagnoses.
Patients And Methods: Anatomical information from an initial physical examination was programmed into a computer with stored neuroanatomical charts of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates if activated PMNs in hypercholesterolemia lead to endothelial dysfunction by producing superoxide.
- Results showed that individuals with hypercholesterolemia had impaired endothelial function and increased superoxide production from PMNs.
- Fluvastatin improved endothelial function and reduced PMN activity, suggesting that statins may protect against arterial damage beyond just lowering LDL cholesterol.
