Acute stroke patients presenting with hemiparesis or hemiplegia are significantly more likely to have a pontine infarction if they suffer from diabetes mellitus, experience non-vertiginous dizziness or display worsening of motor impairments.
BMC Neurology 2009, 9 :21
Increased serum levels of the protein SB1000, a marker of cerebral damage, are associated with delirium in older patients admitted after hip fracture, and may provide insight into the link between delirium and dementia.
BMC Neurology 2009, 9 :19
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics are predictive of progression to clinically definite multiple sclerosis (CDMS) in patients who present with monofocal symptoms, suggesting that MRI and clinical assessment may help to define the risk of CDMS.
