A Case of Transient Global Amnesia: A Review and How It May Shed Further Insight into the Neurobiology of Delusions
Conclusion In closing, our patient’s episode of TGA combined with her emotional and perceptual response lends credence to the proposal of a “fear/paranoia” circuit in the genesis of paranoid delusions—a circuit incorporating amygdala, frontal, and parietal cortices. Here, neutral or irrelevant stimuli, thoughts, and percepts come to engender fear and anxiety, while dysfunction in frontoparietal circuitry engenders inappropriate social predictions and maladaptive inferences about the intentions of others.[54] Hippocampus relays information about contextual information based on past experiences and the current situat...

Purpuric herpes zoster in patients in therapy with clopidogrel
Clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate is an adenosine diphosphate receptor antagonist belonging to the thienopyridine class. It is used for the prevention of vascular events in patients with atherothrombotic diseases manifested by recent myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke or peripheral arterial disease [1]. Clopidogrel provides greater reduction of the risk of recurrent ischemic events than acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in patients with a medical history of coronary artery bypass surgery, diabetes mellitus and in those in therapy with statins [1].
