[The computerized electroencephalogram in evaluating the action of vasoactive and eumetabolic drugs in chronic cerebrovascular disorders].

In this work the authors estimated the effect, on cortical bioelectric activity, of two groups of drugs commonly used in the so-called chronic vascular cerebropathies. Through the computerized analysis of EEG the authors estimated vasoactive drugs (papaverine hydrochloride and xanthinol-nicotinate) and eumetabolic drugs (cytidin, uridin, cytidin + 1-glutamine association) in two groups of subjects (healthy volunteers and patients suffering from stabilized conditions of acute cerebrovascular insufficiency). As to vasoactive drugs, a different action of papaverine hydrochloride as compared to xanthinol-nicotinate was pointed out. Eumetabolic drugs showed an action of electroencephalographic activation statistically significant only if administered associated between them and with glutamine.

Mental impairment in Parkinson's disease. The role of anticholinergic drugs.

The trial has been carried out on 33 treated Parkinsonian patients and 14 healthy controls. A series of psychometric tests were employed in order to show a possible intellectual deterioration in Parkinsonian patients. Bender's test showed greater motor-perceptive deterioration in Parkinsonian patients respect to control, the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale evidenced in patients significant deterioration of mnesic and psychomotor capacity. When considering drug treatments patients undergoing combined treatment or anti-cholinergics alone obtained worse results in all tests made whilst patients on L-Dopa alone obtained the best results.
