Abstract

In the paper we have pointed out the importance of ocular pressure in diagnosis of vascular-cerebral diseases. We have insisted upon the difficulties of interpreting the values of ocular pressure. The correlations between the maximum, medium and minimum values of ocular pressure are presented. We have also carried out a systematization of the four possibilities of altering the arteries resistance in the carotid system and pointed out the pathological situations which can determine changes of the ocular pressure. Presenting the method limitations we have emphasized the importance of the method in clinical practice.

Application of a dual channel peroneal nerve stimulator in a patient with a "central" drop foot.

Dropped foot is a common mobility problem amongst patients after a cerebro vascular accident. The condition arises from paresis of the muscles that control the foot movement during the swing phase of gait. If the abnormal movement is not compensated for, it results in a significant decrease in the mobility and hence quality of life. Compensation for the drop foot can be achieved through the application of functional electrical stimulation. To date, in the clinical environment, the stimulation has been applied through electrodes placed on the skin over the common peroneal nerve, and using a single channel implant device. It is well known that with these techniques it is difficult to establish a balanced response of the foot. An implantable dual channel system for stimulation of the deep and superficial peroneal nerve has now been developed for patients with a drop foot following a stroke. By stimulation of the two branches of the common peroneal nerve separately it is possible to achieve a precisely balanced dorsal flexion and eversion of the foot. Stimulation occurs via small bipolar electrodes which are placed subepineural. After successful tests on animals we have now started the two channel peroneal nerve stimulator implantation in patients. The preliminary results of the first implants are presented.

Neurologic manifestations of gastrointestinal disease.

Although previously considered rare, neurologic manifestations of gastrointestinal diseases are increasingly recognized. Understanding of Whipple disease and gluten sensitivity is in transition and these conditions are becoming the province of neurologists. Recent improvements in diagnostic testing have improved our understanding and case finding for vitamin B12 deficiency. Many patients with these conditions present with neurologic manifestations alone. Therefore, these conditions are becoming the province of neurologists, and neurologic manifestations of gastrointestinal disease are becoming a more common part of neurologic practice.
