Thyroid-stimulating hormone and prolactin responses to thyrotropin-releasing hormone in common migraine.

Intravenous administration of 50 micrograms or 200 micrograms thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) to men with common migraine elicited blunted prolactin (PRL) responses, when compared with healthy controls. The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) response was enhanced after 50 micrograms TRH in the migraineurs, but not after 200 micrograms. The physiologic TSH dose-response relationship was abolished in migraine sufferers. The data may be interpreted in the light of dopaminergic and noradrenergic supersensitivity, for PRL and TSH, respectively. The TSH response in migraine differs from the one that occurs in depression.

[Huntington chorea. Review of the most recent aspects of research].

The authors are presenting a review concerning the most visible aspects of the research directed to emphasize that Huntington's Chorea cannot be compared, either clinically or pathologically, to Parkinson's Disease. It is a hereditary disease in which we can discern an alteration of some neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, neurohormones that are not necessarily opposite in respect to pathophysiological findings of Parkinson disease.

[Transitory global amnesia].

The authors studied 18 cases of transient global amnesia, a syndrome occurring in middle age, characterized by a sudden memory loss of recent events and transient inability to acquire new knowledge, while consciousness and personal identity are preserved. Chemical and laboratory findings indicates that TGA is probably due to transient ischemia in the temporal lobe and hippocampus.
