Numerous studies show that the diagnosis of vascular vertigo remains inadequate, often leading to overdiagnosis of stroke and transient ischemic attacks in patients with peripheral vestibular disorders and vestibular migraine, on the one hand, and underestimation of the importance of cerebrovascular pathology, especially in patients with the first attack of persistent vestibular vertigo, on the other.The International Barany Society has developed and published diagnostic criteria for vascular vertigo. These criteria are intended to facilitate the identification of vascular causes of acute vestibular syndrome. Particular emphasis is placed on clinical signs because imaging techniques often do not allow detection of foci small in volume and area, especially in cases when stroke is manifested by an isolated vestibular syndrome. Key clinical signs to analyze when a vascular etiology of acute vestibular syndrome is suspected include nystagmus, corrective saccades on the Halmagyi test, smooth visual pursuit, visual saccades, severity of trunk ataxia, and hearing loss.","PeriodicalId":19252,"journal":{"name":"Neurology, neuropsychiatry, Psychosomatics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87374598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The earliest manifestations of the disease include symptoms such as parasomnia, constipation, hyposmia, anxiety-depressive disorder, daytime sleepiness, color perception changes, cognitive dysfunction, and mild motor manifestations. The diagnosis of PD can be made when characteristic motor manifestations occur: hypokinesia, rest tremor, muscle rigidity. Substantia nigra ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging in SWI mode, and functional neuroimaging methods are used as confirmatory methods. The approach to the treatment of early stages of PD is age dependent. Patients over 70 years of age are recommended to start therapy with levodopa; younger patients – with dopamine receptor agonists (ADR), amantadines, MAO-B inhibitors. The mechanisms of ADR action, the possibility of their influence on the motor and non-motor symptoms of PD are analyzed. A special place is given to piribedil, which, due to the dual mechanism of action, has a positive effect on cognitive functions, depression, apathy, as well as a minimal effect on daytime sleepiness.","PeriodicalId":19252,"journal":{"name":"Neurology, neuropsychiatry, Psychosomatics","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78923558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we hereby present a case of monozygotic twins with concordant female-to-male GD. Seventeen-year-old twins are introduced in this case report. The second pair attended to our clinic for psychiatric evaluation. She was suffering from GD by overwhelmed desire for having masculine features, wearing their cloths, and at the same time revolting being a girl. Although she preferred spending time with male friends, she was sexually attracted to females. Although the first pair had similar characteristics of GD, she presented apposite temperament. While temperament has been considered to be genetically inherited, the incidence of GD in our cases with different temperaments raises the question about genetic role in inheriting temperament and GD. Further twin studies will help understanding the extent of genetic influence on these features.","PeriodicalId":19252,"journal":{"name":"Neurology, neuropsychiatry, Psychosomatics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81776142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study design was a multicentre, open-label, non-comparative clinical trial (CT) with two doses of alimemazine 20 and 40 mg (Teraligen® retard, prolonged-release film-coated tablets). 129 patients diagnosed with GAD (criteria according to the ICD-10 classification), 86 women and 43 men were included, mean age 38.0±11.1 years. The level of anxiety, assessed by the Hamilton HARS scale, at Week 0 (Visit 1) was 24.8±7.3 points.Results. By Week 6, the level of anxiety statistically significantly decreased to a mean score of 10.8±6.6, while the dynamics of the mean score relative to baseline was -14.0±6.27 (p<0.0001). The proportion of patients with a decrease in the total score on the HARS scale by 50% or more compared with the initial value was: after 1 week of therapy – 10.3% (n=13); after 3 weeks of therapy – 60.5% (n=75; compared to baseline, p<0.0001); after 6 weeks of therapy – 69.4% (n=86; compared to baseline, p<0.0001). The therapy was well tolerated, among the adverse events (AEs) patients noted: morning sleepiness (7.8%; n=10); dry mouth (7.8%; n=10); general weakness (4.7%; n=6). Other AEs (dizziness, headache, impaired concentration, muscle weakness, memory impairment, tinnitus, tachycardia) were much less common. From the side of the liver, no AEs were detected, including changes in the activity of liver enzymes.Conclusion. Prolonged release alimemazine tablets 20 mg and 40 mg for six weeks resulted in a statistically significant reduction in anxiety levels, with at least two-thirds of patients experiencing more than half their anxiety. The effect increases with each week as you continue to take the drug.
