Electrophysiologic studies were carried out on 11 patients with Holmes-Adie syndrome, 8 of whom had reduced or absent ankle jerks. Conduction velocities and evoked nerve and muscle compound action potentials in the peroneal, posterior tibial, and sural nerves were normal. The H reflex was absent (or virtually absent) in the patients with depressed reflexes. The
Extractions: Method: The clinical history of 34 patients (23 female,11 male) was investigated retrospectively. All patients underwent ophthalmological, orthoptic and neurological investigation and MRT (31 patients) or CT (3 patients). If there was no positive result of these investigations and manifestation of the tonic pupil was not older than five years, a serologic investigation was performed. The serologic investigation included tests of an infection caused by Herpes virus, Ebstein Barr virus, Toxoplasma gondii and Treponema pallidum. Results: MRT or CT did not show any reason of the tonic pupil in this study. The neurological investigation showed the diagnosis of an Holmes-Adie syndrome in six cases, the diagnosis of an Ross syndrome in one case and the diagnosis of an Parry-Romberg syndrome in another case. The serologic diagnostic of Herpes simplex virus showed in four patients positive level of IgM antibodies and in one patient a borderline positive level of IgM antibodies. One of this patients underwent specific antiviral therapy. There was no change of the symptoms of tonic pupil under this therapy. The IgM of varicella zoster virus was positive in one patient. The serologic diagnostic for Borrelia burgdorferi, Toxoplasma gondii, cytomegalovirus, Ebstein Barr virus and Treponema pallidum was unremarkable.

Extractions: Brookhaven Scientists Determine Key Lyme Disease Protein Structure UPTON, NYA research team working at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory has determined the three-dimensional structure of a key protein on the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Called OspC, the protein is derived from two strains of the Lyme disease bacterium. This research may lead to a second-generation vaccine that would be more effective than the current one. The current vaccine is based on another Lyme disease protein, known as OspA, which was previously deciphered at Brookhaven. Both OspA and OspC are outer surface proteins of Borrelia burgdoferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Researchers from Brookhaven Lab, Stony Brook University's School of Medicine, the University of Rochester Medical Center and Rutgers University will report their findings on the structure of OspC in the March 1, 2001 edition of The EMBO Journal. Spread by the bite of an infected deer tick, Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S. Between 1982 and 1996, more than 99,000 cases were reported in the nation. Early symptoms of the disease include a bull's-eye rash and flu-like symptoms. If the disease is not promptly treated with antibiotics, more serious symptoms, including joint and neurological complications, may develop.

These problems are caused by damage to the nerve supply to the muscles that constrict the pupil and those that alter the shape of the lens. The result is that focusing is affected particularly when trying to read.

Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: Background: Autonomic neuropathies are a collection of syndromes and diseases affecting the autonomic neurons, either parasympathetic or sympathetic, or both. Autonomic neuropathies can be hereditary or acquired in nature. Most often, they occur in conjunction with a somatic neuropathy, but they can also occur in isolation. The autonomic nervous system modulates numerous body functions, and therefore, dysfunction of this system can manifest with numerous clinical phenotypes and various laboratory and electrophysiologic abnormalities. Often, a patient may present with symptoms related to a single segment of the autonomic system. The physician must be wary of other affected parts of the autonomic system. In some forms, the degree and type of autonomic system involvement varies extensively. In some patients, the degree of autonomic dysfunction may be subclinical or clinically irrelevant, while in others symptoms may be disabling. Several clinically important features of autonomic neuropathies can be treated with either conservative or pharmacologic therapies; therefore, the physician must be alert to these features. Pathophysiology: The pathophysiology of the autonomic neuropathy depends on the etiology of each particular type. These may range from genetic disorders with specific gene defects to metabolic disorders with accumulation of toxins and to autoimmune disorders with identifiable autoantibodies. Although it is accepted that a loss of somatic C fibers is associated with autonomic deficits, selective involvement is now known to occur for specific autonomic neuropathies. For example, diabetic neuropathies are associated with somatic and autonomic C-fiber impairment, while neuropathic postural tachycardia syndrome is associated with selective distal autonomic deficit (Singer, 2004).

Extractions: Page 6 MEDLINE Global Update Due If you use OVID to search Medline, have you noticed it has been stuck on the "December week 4 1999" update for several weeks? Normally, MEDLINE is updated weekly and runs a couple of weeks ahead of the calendar. What is going on? Every year in January, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) updates its Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) to reflect growth and change in medical language. OVID programs the changes, releases a "global update" at the end of January, then resumes our normal weekly updates in February. MeSH is the complex yet powerful heart of Medline. Understanding its controlled vocabulary leads to more accurate and precise searches. How does it work? In everyday usage, a particular condition may have several different names, for example, what one person may call a heart attack someone else might call myocardial infarction. So instead of some articles about this condition being indexed under "heart attacks" and others indexed under "myocardial infarction," the NLM chooses just one term and sticks with it. In this case, the subject heading is Myocardial Infarction. All articles on this topic are assigned this subject heading. Because of this controlled vocabulary, a searcher does not risk missing valuable articles due to the vagaries of natural language. What if you don't know the official MeSH terminology? OVID helps you find the right term for whatever you type in the search box. So if you enter "heart attack," a list of related terms is displayed, starting with "Myocardial Infarction." OVID also provides ways to explore MeSH under the TOOLS icon in its menu bar.

This month we continue the discussion and highlight the implications for database searching. Mesh 2002 Every year the National Library of Medicine updates their controlled vocabulary, Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), to keep indexing terms up to date and increase precision for areas where current research calls for a more nuanced vocabulary. This means you should verify that your search strategies are still current and effective. The additions, replacements and deletions have been announced for 2002 and the statistics show that it's been a busy year: Descriptors added Descriptors replaced Descriptors deleted Two years ago Tom Ipri, writing in Jeffline Forum, pointed out some changes for MeSH 2000 including removal of possessives (e.g., Adie's Syndrome became Adie Syndrome ) and preference for plurals (e.g., Apraxia became Apraxias ).
