Anthroposophical methods for treating CTS have not previously been employed. The objective of this study was to observe whether anthroposophical therapy is effective in treating CTS. Materials and Methods: A total of 21 female patients with bilateral CTS were divided into 3 groups, a) 14 hands treated daily with self-applied mixed anthroposophical gel on the wrists (90 days); b) 14 hands treated daily with self-applied placebo gel on the wrists plus weekly anthroposophical external therapy AET (90 days); c) 14 hands treated with self-applied mixed anthroposophical gel plus weekly AET (90 days). Numerical data from 4 different questionnaires and sensory and motor conduction studies were obtained before and after treatment for statistical analysis. Results: Subjective overall improvement was seen in all groups; evidence of improvement by statistical analysis wa...

Isolated Richter's syndrome in the central nervous system is very rare; only 12 cases have been reported. We describe a 74-year-old patient with diffuse large cell non Hodgkin's lymphoma in the right frontal region with the appearance of multiform glioblastoma.

We describe several signs and symptoms compatible with chronic renal failure with neurological alterations.
