There is substantial evidence that physical exercise can improve motor and cognitive function in individuals with Parkinson's Disease, traumatic brain injury or chronic stroke survivors. However, to the investigator's knowledge, no studies have explored the effect of treadmill training with or
Essential tremor (ET) is a common progressive neurological disorder and is the most common movement disorder. Worldwide , up to 5% of the population suffer from this disorder with an increased incidence with advanced age.
The proposed mechanism that underlies ET, the central oscillating network, is
Neurotoxicity is mainly associated with tacrolimus and cyclosporin, amounting to 10 - 30% for CS and up to 32% for tacrolimus.(2) . Sirolimus, everolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil lack the neurotoxicity of calcineurin inhibitors (3-4).
Neurotoxicity mostly occurs in the early postoperative period
Fragile X-associated tremor ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a late onset neurodegenerative disease that affects carriers of the fragile X premutation. This project proposes the evaluation of an innovative intervention program that promotes self-regulatory skills for hypertension in individuals with
Stroke or unsufficient cerebral circulation is a non-traumatic disease due to occlusion or rupture of brain blood circulation characterized by neurological deficits such as loss of motor control, cognitive impairment, oral disorder or sensory changes in one half of the body resulting from changes.
Per the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic muscle contraction leading to shaking movements in one or more parts of the body. It is a common movement disorder that most often affects the upper extremities but can also occur in the head, vocal
Essential tremor (ET) is a movement disorder characterized by tremor of both hands, and often head and voice, affecting approximately 4.8-6.7 million individuals over the age of 40 in the United States alone. Hand tremor can limit basic activities of daily living like feeding, drinking, writing and
This ExAblate Transcranial system was built atop the ExAblate Body system technology, which has received EMA and CE approvals for the treatment of uterine fibroids and bone metastasis palliation, and is currently being evaluated under various EMA Investigational Device Exemptions "IDE". It should be
Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) represents a major public health problem.Although melanoma accounts for only 4% of all dermatologic cancers, it is responsible for 80% of deaths from skin cancer; only 14% of patients with metastatic melanoma survive for five years . The probability of survival for
Elderly patients with parkinsonian syndrome and healthy age-matched controls are enrolled in this study. The subjects all undergo a brain MRI exam. Controls are selected to match the age distribution of patients.
Clinical evaluation The day of the brain MRI examination, all patients undergo a
The cerebellum plays an important role in generating well-coordinated locomotion, voluntary limb movements and eye movements (Morton et al. 2004). It is particularly important for balance and limb coordination needed to generate a stable gait pattern (Morton et al. 2006). Specific roles of the
1.0 Background
While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16
Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) present with a variety of motor symptoms including resting tremor, difficulty initiating movement/slowed movements, and rigidity. While these motor signs and symptoms are the hallmark features, individuals with PD also often demonstrate changes in
Introduction:
Schizophrenia is a devastating mental illness that impairs mental and social functioning and often leads to the development of comorbid diseases. Metabolic abnormalities have historically been associated with illness such as schizophrenia. Many studies have since then provided
