Abstract

Background. Myocardial ischaemia leads to angina pectoris or referred pain, whichhappens because of the inability of the brain to distinguish the visceral afferent inputs from the somatic afferent inputs since they run along a common pathway via the dorsal root ganglia.Objective. To distinguish specific areas of the rabbit heart that are projected to specific dorsal root ganglia, which then associates to its specific dermatomes.Methods. A double-retrograde neurotracing method was used, with True Blue and Nuclear Yellow as the neurotracers. Rabbits were divided into 3 groups, which the first and second groups were ligated at the left anterior descending artery and at the left circumflex artery, respectively.The third group acted as the control group, without ligation.Results. There is significant association between the site of ligation to the projection of the neurotracers at specific dorsal root ganglia (p<0.05). The first group showed high tendency to be projected to T2 and the second group showed a high tendency to project to T1.Conclusion. This study shows that the rabbit heart can be specifically projected neuronally to specific dorsal root ganglia, following coronary artery ligation.

Abstract

Intracellular processes in neurons begins when the extracellular chemical signals such as neurotransmitters, attached at specific receptors which then activates a cascade of intracellular reactions included herein are proteins GTP, second messengers, protein kinases, ion channels, and other effector proteins that will change the instantaneous state of the physiology of the cell the target. The intracellular signal will also change the long-term performance by interfering with the transcription of genes that will change the protein composition of the target cell. Many components are involved in intracellular signal that will control the neurons, so that the necessary coordination of electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system. Also discussed here regarding the conducting various signals in neurons, including signaling pathways, type receptors, G proteins and molecular targets, second messengers, the target of second messengers, NGF/TrkA, long-term depression (LTD), and tyrosine phosphorylation hidrosilase.

Abstract

The ability to recognize objects and words is not just depend on the integrity of visual pathway and  primary vision area on cerebral cortex (Brodmann area 17), but also secondary vision area 18 and tertiary vision area 19 on occipital lobe. Lesion in occipital lobe could disturb of human visual function such as visual field defects, inability to recognize colors, inability to recognize words, visual hallucinations and illusions, occipital lobe epilepsy, and Anton’s syndrome. Some causes of occipital lobe lesion are head trauma, chemical intoxicity, neoplasma, stroke, degenerative disease, and vascular disease. Prognosis of occipital lobe syndrome is depend on the initial condition but prognosis from the majority of cases with occipital lobe lesions is not good because the exact intervention is not discovered yet and included one ofirreversible disease.

Abstract

Background. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is caused by entrapment neuropathy of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel that can be detected with electroneuromyography (ENMG).Objective. To determine whether there are significant differences in parameters of ENMG examination between CTS groups with mild-to-moderate and severe clinical symptoms.Methods. The study design was observational analytic using cross sectional design approach of the patient's medical record data as many as 61 samples.Results. From 61 samples, there were dominancy of age ≥ 40 years old as many as 80.32% and gender female as many as 88.52%. There was no significant differences in age and gender between the two groups (p=0.073 and p=1.000 respectively). Sensory amplitude, MSDL, and Ring Diff are significantly different between the two groups (p=0.005, p=0.020, and p=0.031 respectively). There are no significant difference of motor amplitude and MMDL between the two groups (p=0.384 and p=0.196 respectively).Conclusion. Sensory amplitude value having a relationship with the severity of clinical symptoms. ENMG examination and clinical symptoms of CTS were independent parameters, that should not be used alone to make a diagnosi both of them could enhance the accuracy of diagnosis.

Abstract

Central nervous system infection may decrease cognitive function in broad spectrum, ranged from mild cognitive impairment to infection-associated dementia. Infection-associated dementia is a dementia which develops concomitantly or lately after central nervous system infection by any microorganism. Some study showed infection-associated dementia was likely developing as the secondary neuronal response to the activation of immune cell in the brain activated by infectious agent. Screening and formal neuropsyichological testing are the most important examination modalities for the diagnosis of infection associated dementia. The availability of functional radiological examination techniques are useful for identifying of brain function and visualizing the brain activities in vivo. The recent modality treatments for infection-associated dementia are insignificantly different with the modality treatments for other dementia. These treatment are consists of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments.
