- Neuropharmacological investigation, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography analysis, and in silico studies of Phyla nodifloraby H M A Rahman on January 24, 2022
The increasing burden of neurological disorders is becoming a worldwide health challenge and researchers are continuously struggling to cure them by utilizing the miraculous medicinal properties of plants. The crude methanolic extract of whole herb of Phyla nodiflora (Pn.Cr) was subjected to phytochemical, antioxidant and neuropharmacological assessment. The Pn.Cr was initially exposed to the in vitro examination for phytocomposition through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)....
- Risk of delayed intracranial haemorrhage after an initial negative CT in patients on DOACs with mild traumatic brain injuryby Gianni Turcato on January 22, 2022
CONCLUSIONS: Delayed ICH is an uncommon event at the 24-h control CT and does not affect patient outcome. Studying the timing and characteristics of the trauma may indicate patients who may benefit from more in-depth management.
- The Fornix May Play a Key Role in Korsakoff's Amnesia Secondary to Subcallosal Artery Infarctionby Masataka Hayashi on January 21, 2022
CONCLUSION: Fornix injury, rather than anterior corpus callosum injury, might be the major cause of Korsakoff's amnesia in patients with subcallosal artery infarction.
- Increased Pupil Size during Future Thinking in a Subject with Retrograde Amnesiaby Claire Boutoleau-Bretonnière on January 21, 2022
Recent research has assessed pupil size during past thinking in patients with retrograde amnesia. Building on this research, we assessed pupil size during future thinking in a retrograde amnesia patient. To this end, we measured pupil size during past and future thinking in L, a 19-year-old, right-handed man free of neurological/psychiatric disorders except for retrograde amnesia that occurred after an episode of fugue. During a past thinking condition, we invited L to retrieve retrograde events...
