Following denervation, ultrastructural alterations were observed in the tonic, anterior (ALD) and phasic posterior (PLD) latissimus dorsi muscles of the chicken. In the ALD muscle these changes were characteristic of both degeneration and regeneration, while in the PLD muscle, the changes were
BACKGROUND
Both Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) have associated sleep disorders related to the underlying neurodegenerative pathology. Clinically, MSA with predominant parkinsonism (MSA-P) resembles PD in the manifestation of prominent parkinsonism. Whether the amount of
The response of the rabbit urinary bladder to field stimulation (80 volts, 2-32 Hz, 1 msec duration) is biphasic, consisting of an initial phasic contraction mediated by cholinergic and purinergic neurotransmitters, followed by a prolonged tonic contraction which is solely cholinergic. Obstructive
A 2-month-old girl had focal tonic convulsions. Brain CT showed no abnormalities on admission. Three weeks later she got a severe epileptic status. T 1-weighted MRI demonstrated low intensity areas in the right occipital and left frontal regions, and enhanced CT demonstrated low density areas in the
BACKGROUND
Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill (SC), Lycium chinense Mill (LC) and Eucommia ulmoides Oliv (EU) are representative tonic herbal medicines that help to strengthen body muscles and bones making them stronger according to the Donguibogam, a tradition medical book of the Joseon Dynasty in
OBJECTIVE
In several degenerative neurologic diseases degeneration of Onuf's nucleus has been demonstrated using histologic and electromyographic (EMG) methods. Although Huntington's disease (HD) patients also frequently complain of bladder and bowel symptoms, degeneration of Onuf's nucleus has not
A 1-year-old male began suffering from West syndrome at 3 months of age, when electroencephalography revealed hypsarrhythmia accompanied by a periodic, brief suppression phase. The administration of adrenocorticotropic hormone was partially effective for stopping the condition, and the seizure type
OBJECTIVE
We investigated a new method of muscle precursor cell transfer in the urethra for the treatment of urinary incontinence, consisting of implanting myofibers with their satellite cells.
METHODS
In preliminary experiments to test the regenerative capacities of satellite cells histological
OBJECTIVE
A precondition for the diagnosis of primarily generalized epilepsy with tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) is absence of brain pathology. This definition, based on normal findings on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is challenged however, by observation of
A 60-year-old patient with multiple system atrophy (MSA) who presented with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder was investigated longitudinally by all-night polysomnography. REM sleep components, i.e. rapid eye movements and chin muscle activity, were analyzed together with the
OBJECTIVE
To clarify the electroclinical characteristics of epileptic seizures in patients with juvenile type dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA).
METHODS
Seventeen patients with juvenile type DRPLA confirmed by genetic analysis were studied retrospectively. The clinical records of all 17
We report a 21-year-old male patient with dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) showing progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME), who responded to levetiracetam (LEV) at an initial dose of 1,000 mg/day. The patient developed epilepsy at the age of 10 years, and also showed intellectual
