Toward clinical use of electrode localizations in deep brain stimulation therapy
Objective: To develop an open source software capable of performing electrode localizations certified for clinical use in deep brain stimulation therapy. Background: Deep brain stimulation…Comparison of four DBS lead designs under voltage and current operating modes based on patient specific simulations
Objective: To quantitatively compare the spatial extension of the electric field generated by four different lead designs operated under voltage and current modes. Background: Conventional…Implantable pulse generator (IPG) longevity decreases following each replacement surgery in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients treated with bilateral sub-thalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS)
Objective: To investigate the influence of the number of implantable pulse generator (IPG) replacement surgeries and the IPG model on battery life in bilateral STN…Suggested protocol for electroconvulsive therapy for depression in a Parkinson’s disease patient with a deep brain stimulator: A case report
Objective: To report an evidence for safety of ECT in patients with DBS in place. Background: We report a case of bilateral electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)…Transient mild hyperglycemia as diagnostic tool for idiopatic Parkinson’s disease triggered by psychoemotional stress
Objective: We studied clinical features and the levels of glucose in blood of patients with idiopathic PD (IPD) of different sages and duration who had…Carrier mediated delivery system bearing dopamine for effective management of parkinsonism
Objective: In the present investigation, amino acid coupled liposome bearing dopamine-HCl were prepared to deliver drug to the brain utilizing receptor-mediated transcytosis for effective management…Sniffing the diagnosis: Olfactory testing in neurodegenerative parkinsonism
Objective: To determine the diagnostic utility of olfactory testing in patients with neurodegenerative parkinsonism. Background: Olfactory dysfunction can be identified in the vast majority of…Zolpidem ameliorates the freezing of gait in a patient with PAGF (pure akinesia with freezing of gait)-the possible neural mechanism
Objective: To investigate the possible mechanism of amelioration of freezing of gait (FOG) in a patient with PAGF (Pure Akinesia with Freezing of Gait) by…Comparative analysis of freezing of gait in distinct parkinsonism types by diffusion tensor imagining and cognitive profiles
Objective: To demonstrate possible disturbances in pedinculopontine nucleus (PPN) and its connections in freezing of gait (FOG) by DTI in conjunction with the cognitive profile.…Swallowing in individuals with Parkinson’s disease: A study of FEES
Objective: To characterize the pattern of swallowing in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) through functional endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Background: Dysphagia is a highly…
