Abstract

Background: Epilepsy and sleep are well recognized for having bidirectional influences upon one another. The effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) on sleep are of particular concern.
Objective: The objective of this study is to know the profile of AEDs effect in patient’s sleep cycle. Methods: This analytical observational study observed total sleep time, sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency, daytime sleepiness, and insomnia in epileptic patient with AEDs of Neurology Clinic Airlangga University Hospital during May-September 2016. A cross sectional study was done by questionnaire and interview directly to the epileptic patients. Data collected was being analyzed analytically.Results: This research was conducted among 27 patients with epilepsy based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sleep disturbances that had been found in patients with phenytoin are prolong sleep onset latency (11.11%), decreased sleep efficiency (11.11%), and excessive daytime sleepiness (66.67%). Sleep disturbances that had been found in patients with valproate are decreased total sleep time (33.33%), prolong sleep onset latency (11.11%), decreased sleep efficiency (11.11%), excessive daytime sleepiness (66.67%), and insomnia (11.11%). Sleep disturbances that had been found in patients with carbamazepine are decreased total sleep time (44.44%), prolong sleep onset latency (33.33%), decreased sleep efficiency (22.22%), excessive daytime sleepiness (77.78%), and insomnia (11.11%).Conclusion: In conclusion, this study shows that epileptic patients who consumed AEDs regularly may have sleep disturbance that vary based on the type of AEDs, patients with carbamazepine may have bigger sleep disturbance than with phenytoin and valproate. It is necessary to give information and education to the epileptic patients who consumed AEDs regularly so that they will become aware of the sign of sleep disturbance.

Abstract

Majority of spinal cord tumour is a benign tumour with symptoms are due to spinal cord compression. One of the symptoms that are often difficult to treat is a sensory deficit. The authors report a case of primary intradural extramedullar spinal cord tumour in 57-year-old man. This tumour was presenting symptoms of chronic low back pain, gradual progressive inferior paraplegia, and sensory deficit on both legs. MRI thoracal showed intradural lesion at Th 4-5-6, with isointensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity-isohomogen on T2-weighted images. The tumour was completely resected, and histopathology examination revealed schwannoma types. Patient showed a clinical improvement in motoric function noticeable after surgery, but showed sensory deficits sequelae requiring therapy for neuropathic pain.

Abstract

Background: Short term video Electroencephalography (SVEEG) is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure typically last for about 1-5 hours. SVEEG can be utilize to differentiate epileptic from Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizures (PNES).
 Objective: To assess the yield of short term video EEG in detecting PNES.Methods: Retrospective analysis of short term video EEG in a tertiary level hospital. Patient history, provisional diagnosis, previous EEG and imaging reports were tabulated. Various short term video EEG findings like epileptiform abnormalities, PNES and other non-epileptic events were analyzed in detail. According to the provisional diagnosis formed two groups; Suspecting NEE and suspecting seizure disorders. Change in the provisional diagnosis after SVEEGs were also studied.Results: A total of 417 SVEEGs analyzed: 34(8.2%) patients developed events to suggest PNES, 16(3.8%) patients had other non-epileptic events; 96(23%) showed interictal epileptiform discharges,15 (3.6%) showed seizures and 90(21.6%) patients showed non specific EEG abnormalities. Around 60% SVEEGs were conclusive.Conclusion: A diagnostic event was recorded during SVEEG in majority of patients in the PNES group. SVEEG is a cost effective and useful diagnostic procedure; especially to identify non-epileptic events.

Abstract

The increasing number of people who survive in the long term because of the advanced of glioma therapy with chemotherapy causes more slowly emerging neurologic side effects. Currently, there were three medical treatments are approved by the FDA for the management of glioblastoma namely temozolomide, carmustine wafer, and bevacizumab. However, most of the traditional chemotherapy drugs have a target in cell proliferation and cause toxicity of healthy cells. The side effects of chemotherapy on central nervous systems are chemobrain, acute encephalopathy, leukoencephalopathy, cerebellar dysfunction, and spinal cord toxicity. In addition, severe chemotherapy side effects may also occur in the peripheral nervous system called Chemotherapyinduced peripheral neuropathic pain (CIPNP). The clinician should recognize the symptoms of those side effect in glioma patients who received chemotherapy.

Abstract

Background: Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular condition characterized by hip and gluteal pain caused by abnormality of piriformis muscle. In clinical practice, this syndrome is usually misdiagnosed with other spinal disorders. There is no specific test in diagnosing piriformis syndrome, therefore by understanding the characteristics and predisposing factors, clinicians may be more aware in diagnosing this syndrome.
Objective: To investigate the characteristics and predisposing factors of piriformis syndrome.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on patients with gluteal pain in a referral hospital. Diagnosis was established by block injection on piriformis muscle and showed clinical improvement afterwards. Demographic characteristics, predisposing factors, and physical examination were analyzed. The data is collected and processed by SPSS 20.0.Results: The total of 65 patients were evaluated, with a male to female ratio 1:3. As much as 47.7% of patients were > 60 years old. Average weight was 60 kg and BMI (Body Mass Index) was within normal range (58.9%). Most subjects were housewives (55.4%) and the majority of subjects had history of microtrauma such as sitting on rigid surfaces (36.9%), walking or running long distances (18.5%), and cross-legged sitting (10.8%). Average sitting per day was approximately 5 hours. In 56.9% of subjects, exercises were conducted. There was no history of back pain in 81.5% of subjects.Conclusion: Our study showed age and housewives characteristics differ with other studies. The most predisposing factors were history of microtrauma, female, age, and normal BMI.

Abstract

Septic associated encephalopathy (SAE) is simply define as an encephalopathy incidence that occurs in sepsis patients. Ironically this entity can increases the mortality rate. Importantly, the clinical presentations of this entity is vary ranging from malaise to coma condition. The central nervous system is susceptible to damage that caused by systemic inflammation including sepsis with complex pathophysiologies such as endothelial dysfunction, neurotransmitter imbalance, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. In general, current management of SAE is similar with the management of sepsis incidence which includes infections management, maintaining tissue perfusion and symptomatic therapy to treat delirium and convulsions that may occur. Also, several studies continue to be developed including the use of corticosteroids, magnesium, antioxidants, and immunoglobulin. Early identification and appropriate initial handling significantly affect the output of the SAE patients.

Abstract

Background: The physical therapy resources, as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and neural mobilization are usually used with regenerative purpose and for the relief of symptoms for peripheral nerve injury. However, there is a lack of consensus on its effects as well as its association. Objective: Evaluate the influence of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) associated with neural mobilization (NM) on nerve regeneration of female Wistar rats subjected to sciatic compression. Methods: Twenty four Wistar rats were divided into: G1 (Placebo), G2 (NM), G3 (LLLT) and G4 (NM+LLLT), all animals were subject to compression of the right sciatic nerve. The treatment occurred on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 12th and 14th postoperative day (PO). On the 17th PO the animals were euthanized. Histological and morphometric analysis of the right (compression) and the left (control) sciatic nerve were performed.Results: In the morphometric analysis no significant differences between groups, but differences among sides were found. Histological analysis revealed the presence of inflammatory infiltrate and disruption of nerve fibers in the right sciatic nerves.Conclusion: Both techniques used (LLLT and neural mobilization), isolated and associated, on the parameters proposed, were not effective to accelerate the process of nerve regeneration.
