    Abstract

    Background: Although urinary symptoms are prevalent in multiple sclerosis (MS), there is little information whether bladder function differs by gender or disease subtype.
    Objective: Differences in MS bladder function within subgroups were investigated by comparing female to male and relapsing remitting (RRMS) to secondary progressive (SPMS) patients.
    Methods: We reviewed 118 MS patients referred for urologic evaluation between 2007 and 2012 and extracted demographic, questionnaire (AUASI, M-ISI), and urodynamic data. Variables were analyzed by gender and MS subtype, and a multivariable regression model was generated to adjust for age and gender
    Results: The cohort consisted of83/35 female/male and 57/61RRMS/SPMS subjects. Urinary questionnaire and urodynamic findings were similar between genders, with the exception of higher maximum voiding pressures in males (p=0.003). RRMS patients reported more bothersome urinary symptoms compared to SPMS (AUASI21 vs. 15, p=0.004) and RRMS was independently associated with higher symptom scores on multivariable analysis (OR 17.1, p=0.008). There were no differences in urodynamic findings between subtypes.
    Conclusions: Male and female MS patients had similar urinary symptom scores and urodynamic findings, with the exception of higher voiding pressures in males. RRMS patients reported significantly more severe urinary symptoms on AUASI, compared to SPMS, despite having similar urodynamic findings

    Abstract

    Overpressurization blast (OB) exposure used to induce traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the rodent model can result in somatomotor and behavioral changes. Increased anxiety is evidenced after OB TBI in Dorsal and Frontal blast-wave exposed injured animals. Sustained impaired somatosensory functions occur after multiple OB injuries in Dorsal animals. Somatomotor function is impaired acutely but partially recovers after OB injury in Frontal animals. The Dorsal Group had reduction in risk-taking behavior in Group 1 (low pressure OB) and in total exploration in Group 2 (high pressure OB). The critical time point for somatosensory and somatomotor function impairment occurs at 24 hours post-OB injury with Group 1 demonstrating somatosensory and Group 2 demonstrating somatomotor deficits. The results suggest orientation and pressure magnitude have a significant impact on behavioral outcome measures following OB injuries as well as cumulative effects of repeated OB.

    Abstract

    Why people sleep? What kind of kinetics drive human to nighttime sleep phases? What kind of fundamentals night sleep performs? The medical macro biophysical physiological neuropsychiatric operational (MBPNPO) model provides key answers. Human circadian cycles with daytime excitable wakeful body operational ranges (BOR) based on non-automatic velocity-increasing kinetics and nighttime inhibit the macro biophysical physiological mind operational kinetics. It replaces non-automatic into automatic velocity-reduced BOR regulation at sleep phases to sustain homeostatic balance and human life-supporting properties. Nighttime sleep phases carry on fundamental homeostatic functions on resynchronizing cellular and tissues systems, stabilizing intellectual memory with closure of memory storages and activating sexual organs from adolescence on with vivid erotic dreams influencing heterosexual wakeful orientation effects.
    1. At sleep stage IV homeostatic tuning of the overall body cells and tissues with an automatic biophysical engraving genetic program to tune the life span timing scale for every circadian cycle events.
    2. At sleep, stage IV under the least metabolic energy usage and low-rate kinetics hermetic closure of all daily working memory repositories occur to tuning stabilizing intellectual memory potentials for given circadian cycles.
    3. At REM sleep stage II, sexual organs potentiate orgasmic sensation linked with erotic dreams tuning homeostatic heterosexual pairing.
    Complementary fixed biochemical and biophysical parameters at sleep stage IV, may serve as an individual’s database for comparison in health and pathology, severely influencing all kinds at sleep disturbances.

    Abstract
    Background
    Parkinson’s disease (PD) motor symptoms are frequently asymmetric and the factors that influence the side of onset are unclear.
    Objective
    To explore whether peripheral injury and associated chronic limb pain may influence the side of onset.
    Methods
    We administered a questionnaire to 128 PD patients in a tertiary movement disorder clinic. Handedness, date and type of limb injury(s) and duration of associated pain, and date and side of onset were ascertained.
    Results
    Sixty-two subjects reported limb injuries prior to the onset of PD symptoms, 30 with and 32 without chronic pain (i.e., ≥ 2 months). There was no association between injury and PD onset side overall (p=0.334). In subjects with chronic pain associated with limb injuries, however, side of injuries was associated with the side of PD symptom onset (p=0.030).
    Conclusions
    Limb injury with chronic pain may be related to the side of PD symptom onset. Future studies may shed light on the nature of this observation.

    Abstract
    Schwannomas are encapsulated, benign, slowly growing tumors arising from Schwann cells of peripheral nerve sheath. Although they represent the commonest benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors, the occurrence on the lower limbs and especially from the superficial peroneal nerve is exceptionally rare. We present the clinical manifestations and imaging findings of a superficial nerve Schwannoma presenting as a painful mass in the external compartment of the calf, which was confirmed histologically and we correlate our experience with previously reported cases.

    Abstract
    Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with deteriorating memory loss in the aged population. Currently, its exact pathogenesis remains elusive. Some studies have shown that soluble oligomeric Aβ (β-amyloid), inducing hyperphosphorylation of tau, may be the initial link to AD pathogenesis. However, it is poorly known how Aβ influences tau phosphorylation; Results, in this study, soluble oligomeric Aβ42 peptide was injected into the hippocampus of mice with saline as a control. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining showed that Aβ42 was mainly deposited in the Cornu Ammonis area 1 (CA1). Within 7 to 21 days after the operation, the area of Aβ42 decreased gradually. Compared to the control, the expression of phosphorylated tau (p-tau) was significantly increased, suggesting that soluble Aβ oligomers activated phosphorylation of tau and increased total tau. Meanwhile, we found that elevated Cdk5, mainly in the CA1 area and subgranular zone (SGZ), correlates with increased phosphorylation of tau. Conclusions, thus, the results suggest that hyperphosphorylation of tau induced by soluble amyloid Aβ is associated with an increased level of Cdk5.
