ReviewA systematic review of Terson's syndrome: frequency and prognosis after subarachnoid haemorrhage.
To review systematically the frequency and prognostic significance of vitreous haemorrhage in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (Terson's syndrome). ⋯ Prospective studies show a higher frequency of Terson's syndrome than retrospective studies, suggesting that vitreous haemorrhage is not well documented. Vitreous haemorrhage is an adverse prognostic finding in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Comparative StudyComparative analysis of the spatial distribution and severity of cerebral microbleeds and old lacunes.
Cerebral microbleeds, which result from microangiopathic changes following chronic hypertension, may reflect bleeding-prone microangiopathy. However, the distribution of these lesions has not been compared with that of lacunes, which represent occlusive type microangiopathy. ⋯ These data suggest that microbleeds and lacunes tend to occur to a similar extent in long standing hypertension, but not necessarily in the same locations.

Clinical TrialUse and interpretation of on/off diaries in Parkinson's disease.
To explore the use and interpretation of self reported on/off diary data for assessment of daily motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease. ⋯ The data provide support for the overall accuracy and validity of the four category CAPSIT-PD on/off diary, but suggest that a three category diary format may improve accuracy and validity. Interpretation of diary data beyond the assessed time frame should be made with caution unless diaries have been kept for sufficiently long periods.

Cerebral motor control in patients with gliomas around the central sulcus studied with spatially filtered magnetoencephalography.
Application of spatially filtered magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate changes in the mechanism of cerebral motor control in patients with tumours around the central sulcus. ⋯ The altered pattern of ERD in the patient group during affected side hand movement suggests recruitment of diverse motor areas, especially the ipsilateral MI/SI, which may be required for the effective movement of the affected hand.
