	ACVC 2001 - Feline Neurologic Diseases
		The feline species is difficult to evaluate in the clinic environment and the neurologic diseases they acquire are much different on presentation than those seen in the canine.
		Diagnosis and treatment is through the establishment of underlying disease (diabetes mellitus) and characteristic neurologic exam findings, and in most cases will resolve in 6 to 12 months if the DM is treated appropriately.
		Signs are similar to peripheral vestibular disease except that ipsilateral weakness, proprioceptive loss and/or complete CNN deficits may be observed, as well as a changing nystagmus along with an altered level of consciousness.

	CHAPTER 43 NEUROLOGIC DISEASES AND DISORDERS
		Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease in which cell death in the substantia nigra and consequent reduction in brain dopamine levels results in a constellation of signs, including tremor at rest, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability.
		Shy-Drager syndrome is a multisystem degenerative disease with involvement of central (preganglionic) autonomic, cerebellar, basal ganglia, pyramidal, and spinal motor neurons.
		In this study the authors administered a neurologic examination to participants and were able to calculate for each neurologic sign the proportion of elderly persons in the population with each abnormal finding and the proportion with each finding but without evidence of medical or neurologic disease that was likely to produce the finding.

	chronic neurological diseases
		Diseases that affect the communication between the nerve pathways and the lower urinary tract and pelvic muscles are called Neurologic diseases.
		Alzheimer’s disease is a neurologic disorder in which certain memory, speech, intellectual, and muscular functions deteriorate, including those of the bladder, but its main characteristic is dementia.
		Due to memory loss, individuals with Alzheimer’s disease may not be aware of the need to urinate and may urinate in wastebaskets, closets, and flowerpots as they cannot remember the appropriate place or the location of the bathroom.

	Neurology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neurological disorders are disorders that affect the central nervous system (brain, brainstem and cerebellum), the peripheral nervous system (peripheral nerves - cranial nerves included), or the autonomic nervous system (parts of which are located in both central and peripheral nervous system).
		Neurologists frequently care for people with hereditary (genetic) diseases when the major manifestations are neurological, as is frequently the case.
		As well, 'neurological' diseases often have 'psychiatric' manifestations, such as post-stroke depression, depression and dementia associated with Parkinson's disease, mood and cognitive dysfunctions in Alzheimer's disease, to name a few.

	frontline: breast implants on trial: Neurologic Disease Among Women Wtih Breast Implants: An Abstract \| PBS
		NRP files provided information on numbers and types of subsequent neurologic disorders at hospital discharge, which were compared with expected numbers, calculated on the basis of national hospital discharge rates.
		In the two study cohorts, hospital discharge rates for neurologic diseases were raised by some 60% to 70% compared with Danish women in general.
		The reasons for the elevated rates of neurologic disease in both the exposed and comparison cohorts remain unclear, but may reflect selection processes associated with these women seeking medical care more often than the general population.

	Neurologic Manifestations of HIV
		Several studies of patients with advanced HIV disease have reported abnormally low serum vitamin B12 levels in 15-20% of subjects.(42-44) The significance of this apparent deficiency is not known, and the vast majority of patients with AIDS and DSPN have normal vitamin B12 levels.
		The neurologic signs of myelopathy, however, such as increased tone and hyperreflexia in the legs and Babinski signs (extensor plantar responses), may be elicited even in the absence of subjective complaints.
		Neurologic examination, including sensory examination of the trunk for a sensory level to temperature or pinprick, should be performed to establish the probable level of the lesion for diagnostic imaging.

	Neurological Exam: Introduction to the Neurological Exam
		In Clinical Neurology, anatomic organization is of fundamental importance to the presentation of the symptoms of the disease, i.e., the site of the injury is more important to the development of symptoms than the cause of the injury.
		One clinical approach to neurologic diagnoses is by "pattern recognition", i.e., a familiar constellation of symptoms suggests the disorder.
		Many neurologic diseases occur as a result of a lesion at a single anatomic site.

	Fundamentals of Neurologic Disease - Demos Medical Publishing
		The authors selected 58 neurologic diseases based on their frequency, ability to represent that category of neurologic disease, value in teaching neuroscience concepts, and diagnostic importance.
		Selected diseases are then discussed with an emphasis on the pathophysiology, major clinical features, major laboratory findings, and the principles of disease management.
		This is in contrast to existing texts that list virtually every disease within each category, with each disease given almost equal weight regardless of its importance, as a result of which the student can easily become confused as to which disease are important to understand.

		This disease is predominantly found in german shepherds and appears to have a hereditary component.
		It is so sad because it is a progressive disease where they slowly, but steadily lose control of their hindlegs until they are completely paralyzed.
		If all other diseases have been ruled out and it appears that your dog does seem to have this, we now have a comprehensive approach to this disease including diet, nutritional supplements, herbs and acupuncture that appear to help these dogs significantly.

	Understanding Dementia and Neurologic Disorders: Interview, Elyse Singer, M.D., ATN 171, March 17, 1993 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Some neurologic symptoms are easy to confuse with depression and sleep disorders, which can be a natural response to the stresses of living with HIV.
		At one time, all neurologic deficits caused directly by HIV were ominously described as "AIDS dementia complex." That has given way to the more accurate, if more clumsy, "HIVassociated cognitive and motor complex." Dementia can be part of this complex, but it is only a late development in a spectrum of cognitive or motor deficits.
		Also, neurologic diseases are more common at the extremes of life, which is also where people get ignored a lot.

	Dr. Schoen–Hopeful News for Degenerative Neurologic Diseases
		It is so sad because it is a progressive disease where they slowly, but steadily lose control of their hindlegs until they are completely paralyzed.
		In my holistic practice, I have more success than with conventional medicine, using a combination of acupuncture, nutritional supplements and homeopathic remedies which appears to slow down the progression of the disease and increase strength in the hind end, but it is only successful in maybe 30% of the dogs and is still only temporary.
		It is not uncommon for a dog to be referred to me with a diagnosis of degenerative myelopathy and it actually is another neurologic disease that is more successfully treated.

	Newspaper coverage of neurologic conditions incorrect 20 percent of the time, study shows
		Eleven neurologic diseases were the focus, with a total of 21 percent (excluding wire stories) containing language deemed stigmatizing.
		Researchers also discovered that neurologic conditions with the highest prevalence were among the least covered topics, while less-common diseases such as Alzheimer's were topics in 33 percent of the articles.
		Sirven says newspapers cover neurologic diseases correctly most of the time, but the articles with stigmatizing language, errors or exaggerations can have far-reaching effects.
