JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe effects of cold exposure on the anaerobic power of children were studied using the Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT). Twelve healthy boys aged 9-13 years participated in the study. A climatic chamber was used for cold exposure. Two respective WAnTs were conducted at an interval of 2 minutes after 30 minutes of rest in thermoneutral conditions (23°C, 40% relative humidity) and cold conditions (5°C, 40% relative humidity). Comparison of the mean power in the first WAnT between the two conditions did not show statistical significance. The percent recovery was calculated by dividing the second WAnT value by the first WAnT value for each condition. The percent recovery in the cold conditions was lower than that in the thermoneutral conditions, and it was statistically significant (p<0.05). These results indicated that cold exposure did not affect the anaerobic power of children but delayed its recovery.View full abstractDownload PDF (677K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA study was undertaken to estimate the number of people with higher brain dysfunction due to neurological disease in the Tokyo metropolis and to determine the rate at which the various neurological diseases account for such disabilities. We designed a questionnaire that was sent to 372 medical institutions and welfare factories in the Tokyo metropolis. The questionnaire was designed to identify patients admitted to these institutes between 18 October and 24 October 1999 with one of 10 neuropsychological syndromes including aphasia, amnestic syndrome, neglect syndrome, topographical disoritentation, agnosia, limb apraxia, attention disorder, executive dysfunction, emotional disorder and others. The questionnaire was to be filled out and a manual was provided with definitions and descriptions to assure accurate and consistent reporting. The survey did not include individuals with dementia or unstable syndromes. Of all the institutions contacted, 251 (67.7%) responded; 1, 234 cognitively disabled persons were reported comprising 841 men and 393 women with a mean age of 52.5 years. Cerebrovascular disorders predominated (983 persons); traumatic brain injuries were second (124 persons). The most common syndrome was aphasia (679 cases); attention disorders were second (356 cases). Higher brain dysfunction was calculated to occur in 51.3 individuals per 100, 000 population, and the number is estimated to be 4, 177 persons in the Tokyo metropolis.View full abstractDownload PDF (865K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe reported a 25-year-old woman with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), who developed severe neurological symptomes, but recovered with a rehabilitation program started at an early stage. She showed psychiatric disturbances and symptoms of porphyric neuropathy. She became tetraplegic and respirator-dependent. After starting hypertonic glucose, the psychiatric disturbances improved, but the neuropathy did not. We tried rehabilitation at an early stage of AIP, and started haeme-arginate at 40 days from the onset. The Barthel Index improved from 0 to 100 after 250 days from the onset. This suggests that hypertonic glucose, although regarded as one of the treatments of choice for AIP, may be ineffective in neuropathy, and early rehabilitation and haeme-arginate may be the treatment of choice.View full abstractDownload PDF (414K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA fifty-four-year-old man who sustained cerebral anoxia, was admitted to our rehabilitation hospital for evaluation of his cognitive impairment and ability to acquire compensatory skills for memory dysfunction. Neuropsychological examinations revealed memory and frontal lobe dysfunction, although his intelligence quotient scores were relatively high. After a month of clinical management of memory dysfunction, he became able to manage his daily schedule in the hospital by using external memory aids. By getting compensatory skills for memory dysfunction, he showed less episodes of falling into panic. After giving this information to the staff of a center for mental health, staffs of both facilities visited his house together for environmental modifications. As a result of support by our rehabilitation hospital and the center for mental health, he became able to live in his apartment independently. The cooperation between a rehabilitation hospital and a mental health facility might be effective in helping patients with cognitive dysfunction to return to the community.View full abstractDownload PDF (1091K) -
