[Diabetic neuropathy is an early detectable microvascular complication of diabetes. Most often, we can recognize it by its symptoms of distal-type symmetric polyneuropathy, further the damage to the autonomic nervous system is increasing the cardiovascular mortality. Screening for diabetic neuropathy is essential in clinical practice, since the signs of nerve damage related to diabetes can be detected at an early stage and open the way to therapeutic interventions. Proper diagnosis and continuous monitoring of diabetic neuropathy is also important during the patient care. This summary concerns the importance and diagnostic options of diabetic neuropathy for clinical practice.]
[Migraine is a headache disorder affecting 14% of general population, being even more prevalent (20%) among women in the 20–64 age group, who are actively working and are mainly at reproductive age. 18–25% of migrainous women have an attack related to menstrual cycle, 7% of them having an attack only at this period. Fluctuation of estrogen level may be responsible for these attacks, we can use NSAIDs, slowly acting triptans or progestin-only treatment as short-term prophylaxis. Hormonal contraception is not contraindicated in migraine. Combined (estrogen+progestin) treatment is proposed only in migraine without aura, but in case of more frequent and/or severe attacks or the appearence of an aura treatment should be stopped. In migraineurs with elevated risk of stroke combined hormonal contraception should be used with caution. In migraine with aura patients progestin-only contraception is possible. During pregnancy in 55–91% of migraineus women attacks disappear or are less severe. In most cases migraine with aura attacks occur during this period. Non-pharmacological treatments should be considered as first in the treatment off attacks, with consideration of risk/benefit ratio paracetamol, metamizol or triptans may be used. With the menopause in 2/3 of patients migraine gets better but because of the fluctuation of hormon levels it can be worse than before. Hormonal replacement therapy is not contraindicated in migrainous women but it can result in worsening of migraine. ]
[Body mass index (BMI) is positively correlated with the frequency of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, there are different types of obesity, and the localization of adipose tissue differs between the genders. In this study, we purposed to investigate whether there was an association between the amount of local adipose tissue thickness and anthropometry in upper extremity with the presence and/or electrophysiological severity of CTS on both genders. ]
A prerequisite for the treatment of carotid atherosclerosis is the accurate measurement of the stenosis, that is most commonly evaluated by duplex ultrasonography. In this study, we aimed to verify the reliability of 2D and 3D ultrasonography, comparing the data to results of post-mortem micro-CT examination. Neurological patients with any life-threatening, presumably fatal neurological disease were enrolled.
Among epileptic patients who are monitored using the video-electroencephalography monitoring (VEM) technique, in some patients a psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES) can be identified as a definitive diagnosis. The longterm prognosis of these patients is not well known. In this study, we aimed to determine the factors that affect the prognosis of PNES. Forty-one PNES patients diagnosed using VEM between 2012 and 2022
Glioblastoma (GBM), a highly aggressive form of brain tumors, has been extensively studied using OMICS methods, and the most characteristic molecular determinants have been incorporated into the histopathological diagnosis. Research data, nevertheless, only partially have been adopted in clinical practice. Here we aimed to present results of our epigeno mic GBM profiling to better understand early and late determinants of these tumors, and to share main elements of our findings with practicing professionals.
