“…The speech disturbance encountered most frequently seemed to be difficulty with finding words and wrong usage of words: usage of words related to, but different from, the desired one, phonetically and/or semantically, i.e., "paraphasias" [16][17][18]. There may possibly have been dysarthria in one case.…”

In the Vågå study of headache epidemiology, 1838 or 88.6% of the available 18–65-year-old inhabitants of the commune were included. Everyone was questioned and examined personally by the principal investigator (OS). There were 178 cases of various types of visual disturbances during the migraine attack, which corresponds to 9.7% of the study group. The prevalence among females was 11.9% and among males 7.4%; female/male ratio was 1.70, as against 1.05 in the total Vågå study population. By far the most frequently occurring visual disturbance pattern was (A) 1. Visual disturbances → 2. pain-free interlude → 3. pain phase (in 78% of the cases). Other frequent patterns were: (B). Visual disturbances, but no pain phase (24%); and: (C) 1. Pain phase → 2. visual disturbances (23%). Evidently, in the solitary case, there might be more than one visual disturbance pattern. The most frequently occurring solitary visual disturbances were: scintillating scotoma (62%) and obscuration (33%); but also more rare ones were identified, like anopsia, autokinesis (movement of stationary objects), tunnel vision and micropsia. Among the non-visual aura disturbances, paraesthesias and speech disturbances were the most frequent ones. The prevalence of migraine with aura seemed to be considerably higher than in similar studies. This also includes studies that have been carried out with a face-to-face interview technique.

“…MonradKrohn called it an enlarged edition of his Norwegian book in the preface. Th e guiding motto of the monograph was a quote from Claude Bernard: "Recueillir les faits et ne s'asteindre à les interpréter qu'ensuite est la condition indispensable pour arriver à la vérité" [Collect the facts and force oneself to explain them only then, is the necessary condition for reaching the truth] (8,9).…”

he term Parkinson disease defines a specific clinical condition characterized by a typical history and characteristic signs. This review examines the historical evolution of the concept of Parkinson disease and how the misunderstanding of Parkinson disease may be hindering clinical research trials. It is proposed that this syndrome be called Parkinson diseases or parkinsonism type 1 through infinity.
