[The electroencephalographic aspects in stress epistaxis].

The nasal haemorrhage is a symptom whose significance is seldom completely investigated. In this paper we present the results that we have obtained in two groups of patients: a pediatric population who presented for repeated episodes of nasal haemorrhage and a group of first trimester pregnant women who also have noticed the appearance of this symptom. Beside the clinical examination, a paraclinical assessment has been performed, which included a laboratory profile (hematology and biochemistry) and electroencephalography (EEG), in which we found significant changes. We conclude that EEG is a valuable investigation technique for diagnosis and monitoring purposes in nasal hemorrhage. Also, the clinical management of the stress-related nasal hemorrhage must address multiple issues for becoming efficient.

[EEG patterns in alcohol withdrawal syndrome].

The cerebral motor and cognitive behavior is obviously altered by chronic alcoholism, which generates significant morphological and biochemical changes. In turn, alcoholic withdrawal improves the cerebral blood supply, the psychological and motor behavior and the EEG appearance, especially in young alcoholics. Our study also underlines that alcoholic women develop a late improvement of the clinical and bioelectrical condition during the alcoholic withdrawal.

[Normal and pathologic implication of cytokines].

Cytokines involved in the immune process proof, also, the neurotransmitter role, being synthesized by various cells of the body, with specific genes participation. Cytokines can act on the some membrane receptor like the neurotransmitters, and they can produce diverse biological effects. Pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory or haematopoetic cytokines as those in the central nervous system can be identified by immunoassay and bioassay methods. Recent works show that the cytokines implication in hypothalamo-hypophyso-corticopsuprarenal and gonad axis have consequence on ACTH, corticoids and LH secretion, explaining the ovulatory and gestational disorders. Excessive or insufficient cytokines synthesis, at neuronal level (astrocytes, microglies), explains psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, Alzheimer's disease; cytokines (interferon) long term use for the treatment of some diseases, produce irritability, anxiety, delirium, and confusion etc.
