THE FOLLOW UP STUDY AND DYNAMICS OF THE CHANGES IN LIQUOR CONCENTRATION OF THE SEROTONIN AND EPINEPHRINE IN ACUTE CEREBRAL INFARCT

It is obvious that outcome of the cerebral ischemia depends on many of the metabolic reactions that accompany circulatory disturbance, and forcaming neurochemical changes on the cellular level. Cerebral ischemia accompany changes in the neurotransmitters from the group of the biogenic amines, that influence a great deal whole chain of reactions that lead 66 cell to ultimate death. This processes ease up an enables distribution of the cascade reaction in ischemia leisure. To this should be added the fact, that cerebral infarct is followed with selective disturbance on hematoencephal level for 64. monoamines. It is obvious that cerebral infarct involves changes in metabolism of the central neurotransmitters. This changes could have either short or long term consequences on the ischemic process outcome. Therefore our aim in this study was to investigate the influence of the biogenic amines, serotonin and epinephrine as possible markers in estimation of the neural damage, outcome of the ischemic cerebral stroke and clinical presentation throughout correlation in changes of their concentration in liquor. Investigation included 40 patients on hospital treatment on Neurology Clinic of the CHC Pristina. During the follow up study, we estimated changes in concentration levels of the serotonin and epinephrine in liquor throughout different time intervals, correlating to the neurology status, encountering neuroradiology methods CT and MRof the brain, as a criteria in diagnosing acute ischemic cerebral stroke.

Case Reports

MIGRAINE COMBINED WITH ACM ANEURISM IN 15 YEARS OLD PATIENT CASE PRESENTATION

Migraine headaches are very frequent and its prevalence rates between 15-18% in women and 5-6% in men (1). Migraine attacks vary very mach in their intensity and frequency from patient to patient, and during the time in same patient. Even 75% of the patients describe attacks as heavy or extremely heavy. Although somatic and neurology exams between attacks reveal regular findings, migraine can have great impact on the patients quality of life (social limitations, complications caused by drugs, psychiatric and somatic morbidity (2) In spite usual believes headaches are very often in children. Before puberty boys safer more frequently than girls. Just the same, in early childhood as well as in adolescence migraine pain could mimic and compromise bringing up the right diagnosis of the other possible somatic causes, most likely one sided headaches. Our case presentation points out one of the possibilities. L.M 15-years old patient hospitalized on the pediatric department of the ,,Kralj Milutin Clinic,, in Laplje Selo on October 2007, under the diagnosis of blanking out and left sided headache. After neurology exam and neurology diagnostic procedures done MR cerebra and MR-angiography, diagnose of aneurism of right the ACM (arteria cerebra media) has been established, and operatively treated. After the intervention, patient stays without intensive headaches , only weak pain on the left side of the head, now and on, without blanks.

THE IMPACT OF THE FACTORS AT RISK IN DEVELOPMENT OF THE ACUTE CEREBRAL STROKE, ATHEROSCLEROTIC INDEX FOLLOW UPAND IIGM

In the most prosperous countries, cerebrovascular diseases takes the high third leading position in mortality rate of the population, therefore justifying the name of a ,,mass killer,, speaking of which, its incidence represents un important not only medical but and socially economic problem (only 2-20% sick ones are able to continue with its previous work) Cerebral stroke incidence is 150-200 cases on 100000 persons per year (1). Taking in consideration all the mentioned, we took as the goal of the study, to investigate the impact of the factors at risk, in ethiopatogenesis of the cerebral stroke. Our study was carried out on 40 patients with acute cerebral stroke hospitalized on the Neurology Clinic, KBC Prishtina. Follow up of the factors at risk in atherosclerosis development included: cholesterol, HDLi LDLtriglycerides level in sera, blood and liquor glucoses, glucoses consuming index-IIGM. Descriptive values of the atherosclerosis index also, and the rate of the premorbid illness as the very important factors in development of the cerebral infarct.
