    Transient Global Amnesia as the Presenting Feature of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia

    JOURNAL OF CARDIAC SURGERY, Issue 3 2010
    Chun Huat Teh M.B.Ch.B.
    Both immunoglobulin G-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and serotonin release assay were strongly positive for the antibodies that cause heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The patient's cognitive functions returned to normal following discontinuation of unfractionated heparin and warfarin and commencement of lepirudin infusion.,(J Card Surg 2010;25:300-302) [source]

    Bilateral medial temporal lobe damage does not affect lexical or grammatical processing: Evidence from amnesic patient H.M.

    HIPPOCAMPUS, Issue 4 2001
    Elizabeth A. Kensinger
    Abstract In the most extensive investigation to date of language in global amnesia, we acquired data from experimental measures and examined longitudinal data from standardized tests, to determine whether language function was preserved in the amnesic patient H.M. The experimental measures indicated that H.M. performed normally on tests of lexical memory and grammatical function, relative to age- and education-matched control participants. Longitudinal data from four Wechsler subtests (Information, Comprehension, Similarities, and Vocabulary), that H.M. had taken 20 times between 1953 (preoperatively) and 2000, indicated consistent performance across time, and provided no evidence of a lexical memory decrement. We conclude that medial temporal lobe structures are not critical for retention and use of already acquired lexical information or for grammatical processing. They are, however, required for acquisition of lexical information, as evidenced in previous studies revealing H.M.'s profound impairment at learning new words.

    Transient global amnesia following a transoceanic flight

    PSYCHIATRY AND CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES, Issue 4 2006
    JAVAID RASHID md
    Abstract, Transient global amnesia (TGA) is the abrupt onset of temporary anterograde amnesia without any focal neurological features. It is a benign condition and is completely reversible in most cases. However, the sudden occurrence of memory impairment can be especially alarming to an individual who has recently arrived in an unfamiliar setting. The cause of TGA remains unknown. Reported here is the unusual occurrence of TGA in a man following the completion of an international airplane flight. Possible etiologies of the episode are considered. [source]
