- The study reviewed the clinical, radiological, and electrophysiological characteristics of 10 patients diagnosed with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (sCJD) among a large group of hospitalized adults from 2000 to 2008.
- Most patients exhibited symptoms like behavioral changes, cognitive decline, and movement disorders, with EEG tests showing periodic sharp wave discharges in nine cases.
- The findings suggest that rapid dementia should prompt consideration of sCJD, as clinical and imaging data can often lead to a diagnosis, though molecular testing may be helpful for identifying different disease subtypes.
Purpose: T1-weighted (T1W) magnetic resonance images with magnetization transfer (MT) are widely used in the evaluation of multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques. We aimed to evaluate the contribution of the subtraction technique with MT in the detection of acute MS plaques.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-four patients during an MS attack were enrolled in the study.
Gait ignition failure (GIF) classifications all had major limitations. Few years ago, a new and simpler classification was proposed by Liston. The aim of this paper is to discuss three GIF patients with respect to this new classification.
