Neurological Involvement in Primary Systemic Vasculitis
Conclusion Neurological involvement is a common complication of PSV (Table 1), and neurologists play an important role in the identification and diagnosis of PSV patients with otherwise unexplained neurological symptoms as their chief complaint. This article summarizes the neurological manifestations of PSV and hopes to improve neuroscientists' understanding of this broad range of diseases. TABLE 1 Table 1.

Predisposing and precipitating factors for delirium in neurology: a prospective cohort study of 1487 patients
ConclusionsDelirium is common in elder neurological patients and associated with worse outcome. Primary cerebral conditions most frequently precipitate delirium in neurology.

A one-year longitudinal evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid and blood neurochemical markers in a patient with cryptococcal meningitis complicated by ischemic stroke.
Cryptococcal meningitis (CCM) is caused by the encapsulated basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans and is one of the most common central nervous system (CNS) infections in immunocompromised subjects [1 –4]. In this regard, autoimmune diseases, sarcoidosis, glucocorticoid treatment, solid-organ transplantation, hematologic malignancies, diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure are well-known predisposing factors for CCM in HIV-negative patients [1–4]. Sources of C. neoformans are excrement of b irds such as pigeons, contaminated soil, and the bark of several tree species [1].

Polyuria, Polydipsia and Possible Diabetes Insipidus?
Discussion The body is smart. It has mechanisms for maintaining balances within the body in a closely controlled manner but allows for a variety of states. This is very true for fluid balance in the body which is highly controlled between almost all of the major body organ systems. When fluid is low, the sensor sends signals for us to drink, and conserves fluid until we can. When the fluid is high, the kidneys excrete the excess and sends signals not to drink. Usually it works very well. While there are many pathological states that can cause polyuria and/or polydipsia, the most common reason is excessive fluid intake beca...
