Nervous complications in cerebral cysticercosis

Studty was conducted on 42 patients (32 males and 10 females, aged 14-55 years old) with taenia soluincyst in brain. The cyst was common at the age 20-49 years old, female 23.81% and male 76.19%. There was a diversity of nervous syndromes in both 2 hemispheres of brain, the most were intern-cerebral high pressure 95.2% and epilepsy 54.74%. Active forms of cyst accounted for 73.81%, needed for treating CT images of skull and brain showed a dispersion of the cyst in both 2 hemispheres of brain, consisted with the clinical symptoms.

Rehabilitation exercises for preventing recurrence of lumbar vertebral disc hernia

A monitoring of 150 cases of stabilized lumbar disc herniation showed that in the group of subjects who dit not practise physical exercises, the recurrent rate was rather high, 34% within 6 months, 44% in 12 months, while in subjects practized the exercises, these indices were 4% and 6% respectively. Moreover in these practized subjects, the severity of recurrent condition was mild with the syndrome of lumbar spinal column and rarely lumbar radicle. Heavy works such as military works, agriculture and industrial works were still the cause of recurrence of lumbar disc herniation.

Clinical studies on lumbar disc herniation

The clinical study on herniation of lumbar spinal disc was performed on 175 patients (114 males, 61 femaled, aged 17-68 years old ) at Huu Nghi hospital and Hospital No 108 from January 1998 to January 2004. Herniation of spinal vertebral disc usually occurred in male (65.1%) at the age of 20-40 years old. 71.97% of the disease had developed suddenly after a trauma at the spinal column or after a heavy load. The pain increased when walking, pain manifested at the lumbar area, the range of moving was constrainted. Pain at Velleix point (+), Lasegue(+), pain and diminished sense of radile type.

Results on internal medicine treatment of 175 patients with lumbar disc herniation

175 patients aged 17-68 years old (114 males, 61 females) with lumbar disc herniation underwent a 3 week conservative treatment internally with Vioxx, methylcobal and hydrocortisone at Huu Nghi Hospital and Hospital Number 108 from January 1998 to January 2004. Morbility range of the spinal column reached good and rather good results in 82.05% and bad in 1.14%. The stretching range: good and rather good 64.41%, no effectiveness 18.24%. Spinal column mobility range of right side and left side of spinal column reached 70.68% and 72.96% good (respectively), bad 10.26% and 8.35%. Right and left rotation range of spinal column reached 75.24% and 69.54% of good and rather good results 7.41% and 5.7% no result, respectively. Pain relief in radicular press syndrome was improved well in 64.41% - 82.65%. Lumbar disc herniation had caused no much disorder on the mobility and spincter muscle.

The technique of discography and the injection of medicaments for treating lumbar vertebral disc hernination which has no response enough to internal combining therapy

40 patients with lumbar disc herniation, aged 17-68 years old, including 27 males and 13 females, were treated by combined internal procedure within a week by Vioxx, Methycobalt and Hydrocortisone infected into the disc once a day within 15 day. The syndrome of radicular painful was improved well and rather well in 65-85% of patients. However, for a less number of motion disturbance, surgery was recommended.

Study on clinical features of cervical disc herniation

By MIR the Hospital Huu Nghi and Military Hospital No 108 from January 1998 to December 2003, in 110 patients (72 male, 38 female, qged 39-75 years), cervical dics herniation was detected. Control group in cluded 25 patients whose MRI did not find dics herniation. Patients morbid history was investigated, clinical neurology was comprehensively studied. Results showed that this herniation was commonly in men with usual manifestations of cervical dics degeneration- 100%, combining radiculo-spinal compression syndrom 50,9%, sample radiculo cervical compression syndrom 34,5% and sample radiculo spinal cervical 14,5%. The clinical criteria of cervical dics herniation were: cervical vertebial pain site, pain and spasm of muscles around the vertebial cervical with limited mobility, disturbances of feelings and reflexes central palsy of the … and peripheral palsy of the hands, enhance of tendo-bone reflexes in 2 legs, Babinski reflexes (+).
