[Memory changes in herpes virus encephalitis: report of a case].

A case of Herpes Simplex Encephalitis with a benign course was present in a 66-year-old patient. A year after the acute phase of the illness, the patient continued to suffer from inability to fix verbal material in memory. During the acute phase, cerebral NMR revealed a large evolving lesion in the right temporal region, and an old lesion located in the same region of the opposite hemisphere. From the medical history, we learned that the patient, 35 years earlier, suffered a similar episode, including a short-term memory deficit. In the following study, we will discuss this case report in relation to data found in the literature dealing with memory deficit, caused by mono and bilateral, temporal lesions.

[A case of cerebral angioma: non-invasive instrumental diagnosis].

A case of cerebral angioma: non-invasive assessments. A 65-year-old woman, suffering from epileptic seizures since the age of 6, was examined. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasounds, SEPs and EEG brain mapping by means of median nerve stimulation, were performed, followed by a NMR of the brain, which revealed an arteriovenous malformation in the left hemisphere (frontal and parietal lobe). By comparing the results of the neurophysiological tests, the diagnostic value of TCD, confirmed by the neuroradiologic findings, was established. EEG and SEPs were also abnormal, but their actual effectiveness in clinical studies is discussed. We conclude that these electrophysiological examinations do not allow a reliable diagnosis as with TCD.

[Chronic progressive obliterating arteriopathy and muscle fatigue: the role of frequency analysis of the electromyographic signal].

Clinical evaluation of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is mainly based on Fontaine's classification, in which pain is the most important element. The use of objective techniques can allow a more precise evaluation, since pain is always subjective. In PAD patients, pain is frequently associated with early fatigue. Peripheral muscle fatigue can be easily assessed by a particular electromyographical method, based on the frequency analysis of the signal. In PAD patients, this method can provide objective information on muscular performance, with possible uses in medicine, surgery, rehabilitation and occupational medicine.
