Subacute measles encephalitis: The neurological sequelae of the measles outbreak in South Africa
… partialis continua and rapid decline in neurological functioning and death ensuing within a month in the majority of cases. MRI T2-weighted signal changes in the cortical grey matter, are typical. In the absence of a brain biopsy, we propose the use of measles virus PCR in urine and CSF. …

ANIMAL MODELS FOR BEHAVIORAL CHANGES OR HEARING LOSS UPON ACUTE VIRUS INFECTIONS
Sequelae are defined as a condition resultant of disease, typically a chronic complication of an acute illness. Neurological sequelae are those complications involving the brain and central nervous system and can include intellectual disability, seizures, emotional instability, vision loss, and …

Dysphagia in children (0-12 years) recovering from tuberculosis meningitis (TBM)
… of childhood TBM include poor motor and neurological outcomes which could lead to dysphagia. Aims: The aim of the study was to describe dysphagia in children (0-12 years) recovering from TBM at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital (RCWMCH) in the Western Cape, South Africa. The …

Intracranial hypertension in Kenyan children with cerebral malaria
… in African children, but the cause of death and neurological sequelae are unknown. This dissertation examines the hypothesis that raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is a determinant of poor outcome in Kenyan children with cerebral malaria. The opening cerebrospinal fluid pressure was raised in …

Anti-Insect Defensive Behaviors of Equines after West Nile Virus Infection
… biting insects, presumably because of to the neurological sequelae that can result from the infection. Results from behavioral observations and neurological reflex testing suggest that long-term survivors of WNV do not show a change in the frequency or types of behaviors used compared to …

From Entry to Dysfunction: SARS-CoV-2 Neuropathogenesis in Peripheral Sensory and Autonomic Neurons and Its Implications
During the COVID-19 pandemic, reports of neurological symptoms affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) became common, suggesting the virus may be neuroinvasive. These observations prompted studies to determine how SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus, invades the …

Robotic evaluation of sensorimotor and cognitive function following exposure to subconcussive impacts
… recognized as a contributor to long-term neurological sequelae Individuals repeatedly exposed to such impacts, including military personnel and contact sport athletes, often report symptoms as their careers progress. However, monitoring neurological changes related to subconcussive impacts …

Development of mouse models of hydrogen sulfide-induced neurotoxicity for the evaluation of neuroprotective strategies
… H2S can cause severe neurodegeneration and neurological sequelae post exposure. There is no ideal treatment for acute H2S-intoxication in humans. Our laboratory has characterized two translational mouse (C57) models to evaluate potential drugs for prevention and treatment of H2S-induced …

The progression of white matter abnormalities in individuals with early-treated phenylketonuria (PKU)
… treatment, those with PKU exhibit cognitive and neurological sequelae, the most prominent of which is abnormalities of cortical white matter (WM). Past studies suggest that posterior WM is generally more compromised than anterior WM, but little is known regarding how this pattern of findings …

Neurocognitive impairment following central nervous system infections in Kenyan children as detected by event related potentials
… cognitive effects even in absence of clinical neurological sequelae. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that event related potentials (ERPs) can be used to detect neurocognitive impairment following the most common central nervous (CNS) system infections affecting children in …

Luminex Microsphere Immunoassay Offers an Improved Method in Testing for Antibodies to Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus in Sentinel Chicken Sera
… 30% of those surviving infection remain with neurological sequelae for life (CDC.gov, 2007). The use of sentinel chickens for surveillance of arboviruses that are known to use birds as a reservoir host, such as St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE), West Nile (WN) virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis …

Characterisation of Novel Secreted Antiviral Factors to Human Cytomegalovirus
… congenital viral infection and can lead to neurological sequelae such as hearing loss and developmental delay. HCMV infection induces a multi-faceted immune response that controls but never clears the virus, due to a multitude of virally-encoded immune evasion factors. The broad immune …

N-back Performance with Trauma-Relevant Visual Distractors: Associations with Posttraumatic Stress Symptomatology
… service members who commonly report past neurological sequelae consistent with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) from explosive blasts. There is interest in using laboratory paradigms to tease apart the relative effects of PTSD and mTBI. The attentional control theory proposes …

Development of a Mouse Model of NY99 West Nile Virus-Induced Neurological Changes
… worldwide distribution that can cause severe neurological disease in those infected. After recovery, as many as 60% of patients report neurological deficits that can persist for the rest of their lives. Some of the most common sequelae are depression, memory loss, motor incoordination, and …
