Metastatic disease of the nervous system
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999Nervous system metastases occur in about 25% of patients with systemic cancer (Table 1) and usually involve the brain parenchyma, leptomeninges, and spinal epidural space. Although they are ominous, they can be effectively treated in many patients, reducing disability and prolonging life.

Whipple disease of the nervous system
Neurology, 1982A 58-year-old man with dizziness and unsteady gait had a 10-year history of behavioral change, impotence, and a progressive peripheral neuropathy. CT revealed low-density, contrast-enhancing lesions in the right pontine tegmentum and the right medial temporal lobe. Temporal lobe biopsy contained a collection of mature histiocytes, with PAS-positive rod-

Behçet's disease and the nervous system
Journal of Neurology, 1998Behçet's disease is a multisystem inflammatory disorder with unknown aetiology. It is a disease of young adults with a more severe course in males subjects. Its prevalence is high in the Mediterranean basin and Japan and has been linked with human leucocyte antigen B5 (HLA-B5) in those countries.

Spirochetal diseases of the nervous system
Current Opinion in Neurology, 1994Neurosyphilis and neuroborreliosis are currently the most important spirochetal diseases that can affect the human nervous system. This review presents current concepts of the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, laboratory diagnosis, and management of these disorders, and it provides special emphasis on the management of patients with both HIV ...

Retroviruses and nervous system disease
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1992During the past decade retroviruses have been recognized as causes of human neurological disease. A wide clinical spectrum of neurological and neuromuscular diseases have been reported with HIV infections, and studies of these diseases have raised novel and exciting hypotheses of pathogenesis.

Actin and Diseases of the Nervous System
2010Abnormal regulation of the actin cytoskeleton results in several pathological conditions affecting primarily the nervous system. Those of genetic origin arise during development, but others manifest later in life. Actin regulation is also affected profoundly by environmental factors that can have sustained consequences for the nervous system.

Paraneoplastic diseases of the nervous system
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999Several neurologic paraneoplastic disorders are believed to be caused by an autoimmune reaction against an antigen or antigens coexpressed by tumor cells and neurons. Of the paraneoplastic syndromes, the Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS)--in which autoantibodies downregulate voltage-gated calcium channels at the presynaptic nerve terminal--is ...

VIRUS DISEASES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1946The clinical pictures of virus diseases of the nervous system do not depend on peculiarities of the viruses which cause them but on the location of the lesions produced. Irritative and destructive agents, regardless of their characteristics, produce similar clinical pictures if and when they attack the same parts of the brain and cord.

Central nervous system lyme disease
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2004Nervous system infection with Borrelia burgdorferi frequently causes meningitis and rarely causes encephalomyelitis. Altered cognitive function also can occur in the absence of central nervous system infection. Recently developed serodiagnostic tools, such as the C6 assay, and appropriate use of Western blotting promise to improve diagnostic accuracy ...
