Surgery of Cervical Myelopathy
Fifty-two patients operated on for this type of spondylogenic myelo pathy by the anterior approach were reexamined. The male: female re lation was 2 : 1. Fifty percent were males in the 5th decade. About 20% had a congenital narrow spinal canal with an ap-diameter below the minimal standard values (3). The maximum of spondylogenic narrow ing was found between C4 and C6 in 2/3 of the cases. Results: good 44%, satisfactory 31%, unchanged 13%, deteriorated 12%, mortality O. The duration of the neurological symptoms before operation had no in fluence on the surgical results. Final neurological restitution was reached within 1 week to 3 months after the operation. The operative results in patient...

Drawing from the expertise of 135 contributors in clinical and evidence-based medicine, the book provides information on the prevalence, incidence, medical and psychiatric aspects of HIV, as well as on the prevention and care of persons with HIV/AIDS.
Updating in Headache
In September 1983 the First International Headache Congress took place, the founding congress of the International Headache Society (lHS). This meeting was attended by around 200 headache specialists from some 20 countries. One of the principal goals of the IHS, which was formed in London in 1982, is to promote and stimulate interest and research in the headache field. In addition to the sponsorship of continued-education events, this also involves the coordination of scientific pro jects and the organization of future conferences. There is no doubt that headaches represent an everyday problem in medical practice. When the first headache clinics were established some years ago, they were reg...

Lesion-Induced Neuronal Plasticity in Sensorimotor Systems
Sensorimotor systems are not rigidly wired predetermined networks but rather highly plastic structures that learn and modify their entire performance in response to changes in external or internal conditions. Lesions or distortions of the system's input, which initially cause a functional disorganization, induce an active reorganization which often leads to a recovery of function. Examples of lesion-induced neural plasticity have been known for some hundred years; however, an awareness of their value as research tools is relatively new. This current interest is a consequence of rapid ly changing ideas concerning the nature of CNS organization. Out of these, concepts are emerging which descri...
Evidence on the Benefits of Integrating Mental Health and HIV into Packages of Essential Services and Care
As the 21st century continues to unfold emerging, re-emerging and newly emerging infectious diseases will become more pronounced. These infectious diseases like Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which has led to 6, 330, 802 deaths globally as of 28th June 2022, contend with other existing global health priorities such as mental health, HIV/AIDs, cancers, malaria, and monkeypox. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many countries to focus their attention and resources on tackling the disease, paying less attention to other public health issues such as the need to integrate mental health services into HIV care. But “investing in mental health and psychosocial support, and ensuring the integration of mental health and HIV interventions, are critical for achieving universal health coverage, ensuring health equity and ending the AIDS epidemic” (WHO, 2022:6).
