OBSERVE-PD was a cross-sectional, multicountry, observational study conducted in 128 Movement Disorders Centers (MDCs) 18 countries. Overall, the enrolled 2615 patients. The aim to determine proportion of patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (APD) versus non-APD from MDCs and uncover clinical burden APD, as well correlation between overall assessment APD several indicators APD. stage severity were assessed by investigators using their judgement. Data collected during single visit...
Cannabinoids' usefulness in the treatment of neurological disorders (epilepsy, and various neurodegenerative diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis Alzheimer's Disease) has been demonstrated a growing number studies. Of 11 known general types natural cannabinoids, focus mainly directed at cannabidiol (CBD) due to its specificity stimulating cannabinoid receptors low rate side effects, well on Δ (9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC). The synthetic analogs CBD have described potential they showed...
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system, whose treatment often involves use monoclonal antibodies. This can lead to series complications that clinician should pay attention and accordingly adjust therapy. We aim emphasize real-life experiences with adverse cutaneous reactions antibodies by presenting two cases from our clinic.In first case, female patient was treated natalizumab for eight years developed relapsing-remitting lesions following monthly administration...
This article proposes a pilot study regarding the influence of sounds (music) on EEG activity involved in BCI implementations, based analysis. The Independent Component Analysis is applied to extract most relevant ICA components for which event related (de)synchronization alpha/beta bands furtherly considered tracking effect musing brain activity, using open access dataset. results are promising, allowing clear desynchronization bands.
Motor imagery and actual movement are both tasks that bring forth a noticeable change in the subject's EEG mu rhythm known as Even-Related Desynchronisation (ERD). They appear magnitude decreases of frequencies included said band can be tracked measured for automatic real-time detection classification events. It has been proven an important percent changes happen within narrow frequency called reactive band, providing thus means to significantly improve efficiency interpretation such events...
Background: Lyme borreliosis is a multi-systemic disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. A complete presentation of the on child an extremely unusual observation, in which skin lesion follows tick bite, itself followed heart and nervous system involvement, later arthritis; late involvement eye, system, joints may also occur. Methods & Materials: We did retrospective study hospitalized cases with children National Institute Infectious Diseases "Prof. Dr. Matei Bals" period 2005 - 2013, we...
Objectives. This study aim is to evaluate the prevalence of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. Methodology. We conducted an observational a prospective approach on cohort 70 patients admitted with diagnosis disease Neurology Department University Emergency Hospital Bucharest for pre-surgery assessment or referred consultation Outpatient Central Military Hospital, “Carol Davila” last two quarters 2007, using technique based questionnaire (NMSQuest). Results. Patients included this...
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease, characterized by the appearance of demyelinating lesions with inflammatory character in CNS. Given unpredictable evolution numerous attempts have been initiated to find some pathogenic factors and default targeted treatment methods. The intestinal microbiota these patients often significantly altered compared healthy population given complex connections between intestine central nervous system, idea causality dysbiosis this condition was...
Motor imagery, one of the first investigated neural process for Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) still provides a great challenge nowadays. Aiming better and more accurate control, multiple researches have been conducted by scientific community. Nevertheless, there is no robust confident application developed. In order to augment potential referring motor attract user's interest, we propose imagery tasks in combination with different visual or auditory stimuli. We use multi-class...
"This article aims to highlight the burnout burden among neurologists and provide information on some of its causes consequences. We report an original that reviews our current understanding matter in neurology field. The main search engine through which we performed extensive literature research was PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar. following collected: triggers factors perpetuate it, major complaints, values, goals dictate how coaching with it. Physician is umbrella term characterized by...
"Obesity affects the population worldwide. A hypercaloric diet associated with a sedentary life, stress, and genetic background, triggers various metabolic disorders, such as syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cognitive impairment. healthy correlated physical activity, not smoking, moderate alcohol consumption reduces risk of developing diseases. The Mediterranean contains antioxidants, fiber, polyunsaturated fats, compounds...
During the last years, non-motor aspects of Parkinson’s disease were in focus attention Movement Disorders Society and experts. Some clinical research instruments like NMSS (Non-Motor Symptoms Scale) help clinicians to recognize evaluate these that are common occur across all stages PD. symptoms sleep problems, autonomic dysfunction pain partly dopaminergic but others non-dopaminergic. When they treatable, treatment can increase quality life for patients.
Background:Perceptual and thought distorsions that are observed in the acute episodes of schizophrenia make adaptation to reality very difficult, but there residual symptoms interfere with coping interepisodic phases, also. There specific strategies found by such patients order face difficult challenges hallucinations, delusions, attentional memory deficits, also social stigma negative symptoms, like isolation.Methods:We assessed 51 patients, 40 male 11 female, mean age 39.8, diagnosed...
Background:Although the mechanisms explaining metabolic impairments observed during antipsychotic treatment are not well known, there important differences between drugs regarding possibility of inducing lipidic and glucose impairments.Objective:To assess effects atypical typical antipsychotics -olanzapine, aripiprazole, risperidone haloperidol over weight, HDL-cholesterol levels, 24 weeks treatment.Method:A 43 patients group, 30 male 13 female, mean age 42.1, admitted an acute phase chronic...
