At HungVương Hospital, 17-48 hours after birth, 58 newborn babies with fetal age of 39,5 weeks in average underwent a neurological examination. Results showed that in comparing with the original British cohort, Vietnamese newborns had got significantly lower scores in 10 out of 25 indicators, including almost relating to truncal tone. Among these studied subjects, the deficiency of long chains fatty acid was unsignificant, while this group of fatty acids was related strictly to the nerve, especially ophtalmic nerve. The relation between transketolase concentration with neurological status was not identified

The purpose of this article is to identify and explain the role and effectiveness of nurse practitioners(NPs) in the field of neurosurgery. The role of nurse practitioner has expanded over the past 15 years in the areas of administration, clinical activities, counseling, and surgical assistance. One primary activity of the NPs in our department is the frequent periodic neurological examination and rapid detection of deteriorating critical patients. They also improve the rapport between the patients and neurosurgery service and cover wevere manpower shortage or resident staffs. The department of neurosurgery in the hospital can maintain adequate coverage for the neurosurgical patients without increasing the number of residents. The author believes that NPs can improve the quality of care and outcome in a cost-effective manner. Concerns with acceptance and the role of neurosurgical NPs are clearly no longer on issue.

We report a case of recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma in a 30-years-old woman who had undergone operations three times during 60 months and had received post-operative radiotherapy. On neurological examination, no neurological deficits were noticed. In brain magnetic resonance image(MRI), there was right parieto-occipital scalp mass with high signal in T2-weighted image, low signal in T1-weighted image with homogeneous enhancement. The removal was done including about 2cm uninvolved margins and pathologic examination of the lesion revealed dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans(DFSP). The prognostic factors of local recurrence may be related to surgical margins for resection; the length from the grossly intact margins, and the microscopically controlled excision in margins.

Neck pain is common symptom; one out of three individuals can recall at least one incidence of neck pain in their lifetime. Evaluating and treating common cervical spine conditions calls for a probability analysis of what injured structure is most likely causing the patient's complaints. The newer diagnostic procedures must supplement the diagnostic approach but must never replace the proper interpretation of a careful history, the reproduction of the symptoms during the examination, or the performance of to meaningful orthopedic and neurologic examination. This review is offered to summarize all of these considerations with the intent of ascertaining proper management of the patient with pain in the neck or from the neck.

Present report describes a 46 year old male patient with a diagnosis of major depression who developed tardive dyskinesia during bupropion therapy. Our patient had no history of neuroleptic use and his laboratory and neurologic examinations were normal. He had no family history of neurologic diseases. Although bupropion induced dyskinesia has been previously reported in the literature, it is rare and our case is the first case regarding tardive dyskinesia.

Dementia can be defined as an acquired persistent impairment of intellectual func-tion with compromise in at least three of the mental activities such as language, memory, visuospatial skill, emotion or personality, and cognition. The purposes of diagnosing a dementia syndrome are to search systemically for various etiologies, to differentiate reversible or irreversible dementia, cortical or subcortical dementia, and degenerative or nondegenerative dementia, and to apply to patients neurocognitive rehabilitation or other specific trea-tment strategies. The evaluation of dementia includes neuropsychiatric history taking, neuropsychological assessment, neurologic examination, neuroimaging studies, and laboratory studies. It is impossible to evaluate dementic patients only with clinical signs, symptoms, and neuropsychiatric histories. But I will address specific neurologic or neuropsychiatric symptoms and signs of various dementias to und-erstand them as classification.
