Another problem facing the diagnosis of depression or mania is the fact that other medical conditions can cause similar symptoms. Among them are illnesses such as thyroid diseases, infectious diseases (the flu), cancers of the central nervous system, neurological disorders (multiple sclerosis), blood diseases, and even some reactions to metal toxicity. [Pg.218]

Most patients with overactive bladder and UUI have no identifiable underlying etiology. In fact, the most common cause of bladder overactivity and UUI is idiopathic. Clearly identifiable risk factors for UUI include normal aging, neurologic disease (including stroke, Parkinson s disease, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury), and bladder outlet obstruction (e.g., due to benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH] or prostate cancer). [Pg.1549]

However those capsules are not limited to diabetes they have other applications with hepatocytes and stem cells. Applications of stem cells for therapy of neurological conditions, such as Parkinson s disease, Alzheimer s disease, multiple sclerosis, or stroke, are promissory therapies for the irreversible damage of the central nervous system produced in these cases. In that sense, the transplantation of stem cells into the mouse brain, and MRI of the cells both in vivo and post-mortem have been analyzed [87]. Also labeling of stem cells with superparamagnetic iron oxides (SPIOs) have been developed for using MRI to visualize these cells in myocardial infarct [88]. [Pg.220]

Documented effects In modem medicine a decoction of the stems and leaves is used in medicine to disinfect animals. Finely ground seeds mixed with butter is used to treat pediculosis (lice infestation). Tablets of condelphine are used to treat psycho-neurological diseases. The compounds delsemine and mellictine are used as anesthesia during surgical procedures (Altimishev 1991). The alkaloid condelphine has an activity similar to curare. Physicians use tablets of 0.025 g to treat conditions of excess skeletal muscle contraction, Parkinson s disease, multiple sclerosis, spastic and traumatic paralysis, etc. This preparation cannot be used by patients with conditions of reduced muscle contraction, liver and kidney diseases, or heart decompensation (Khalmatov et al. 1984). [Pg.89]

Adalimumab is a recombinant, fully human antitumor necrosis factor monoclonal antibody approved in the US and Europe for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe, active rheumatoid arthritis. It has to be injected subcutaneously. The most common side effects of adalimumab are injection site reactions. Adalimumab increases the risk of rare serious infections. Rare side effects include worsening or initiation of congestive heart failure, a lupus-like syndrome, a promotion of lymphoma, medically significant cytopenias, and worsening or initiation of a multiple sclerosis like neurological disease. [Pg.442]

Multiple sclerosis is a frequently occurring CNS disease affecting approximately one million young adults, predominantly women, worldwide. Multiple sclerosis is characterised by episodic neurological... [Pg.703]

It is indicated in spasticity due to neurological disorders e.g., multiple sclerosis, chronic myelopathy, degenerative diseases of the spinal cord, cerebrovascular accidents and cerebral palsy painful muscle spasm associated with static and functional disorders of the spine (cervical and lumbar syndromes) painful muscle spasm following surgery e.g., for herniated intervertebral disc or for osteoarthritis of the hip. [Pg.113]

For example, ISOLABS, Inc. has a test used to detect IgG in cerebral spinal fluid as an indicator of infection. If no neurological disease exists the concentration of IgG is less than 10% of all CSF proteins. Should multiple sclerosis be present the [IgG] will range from 11-35%. This result plus the results of other confirmatory tests can significantly aid in diagnosis. [Pg.192]

Isoprostanes have been successfully utilized to investigate the occurrence of oxidative stress in some neurological diseases such as AD [Montine et al., 2007 Pratico et al., 1998], multiple sclerosis [Volpe et al., 2006], and Huntington s disease [Montine et al., 1999],... [Pg.436]

Similar to opioids, the cannabinoid system appears to be intricately involved in normal physiology, specifically in the control of movement, formation of memories, and appetite control. Basic research has discovered that members of this family of compounds have the capacity to protect threatened neurons, thereby slowing neurodegenerative processes that ultimately lead to physical disability. As the function of the physiological role of endocannabinoids becomes clearer, it appears the system may be involved in the pathology of several neurological diseases, specifically multiple sclerosis, spasticity, and pain. In 1999 the German journal, Forschende Komplementar-medizin und Klassische Naturheilkunde (Research in Complementary and Classical Natural Medicine) commented ... [Pg.235]
