Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, defined as deposition of amyloid in the walls of brain vessels, is belived to be a common cause of intracerebral hemorrhage in the elderly. It differentiates from the intracerebral hemorrhage of hypertension by its specific location of bleeding. The hematoma from cerebral amyloid angiopathy, sometimes multilobar, is always located in the brain cortices and the white matter beneath them. In the previous reports, the presence of cerebral amyloid angiopathy accounts for 5-10% of non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage. However, it has been overlooked or misdiagnosed all the time because of the lack of tissue proof. Recurrent bleeding occurs so …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Periodic paralysis is a repetitive, transient muscle weakness syndrome. It lasts from minutes to several hours even for days. It often involves proximal and trunk muscle groups, but rare in ocular, bulbar muscles. There is a striking predilection for young males. EMG studies reveal relationships between periodic paralysis and muscle membrane deplarization, and there is compound muscle action potential decrease after vigorous exercise. Potassium imbalance between intracelluar space and serum is the probable reason for this phenomenon. About 2-30% periodic paralysis has connections with thyrotoxicosis. Hyperthyroidism victim is more easiler to affect periodic paralysis than normal one. As some symptoms …
