Zolpidem improves akinesia, dystonia and dyskinesia in advanced Parkinson's disease.
Zolpidem, an imidazopyridine hypnotic drug acting as a selective gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A agonist, has been reported to produce significant motor improvement in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, relevant reports are scarce. We report a patient with advanced PD who had had a unilateral pallidotomy, unilateral thalamotomy and bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of t...
متن کامل[Value of resting and exercise mitral regurgitation during exercise echocardiography to predict outcome in patients with left ventricular dysfunction].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The relative value of exercise echocardiography (EE) over resting echocardiography when this last incorporates information on mitral regurgitation (MR) is unknown. Furthermore, limited data exists regarding to the value of MR worsening during exercise in patients with LV dysfunction. We investigated whether: a) EE has incremental value over a resting echo-Doppler stu...
متن کاملClinical applications of exercise stress echocardiography in the treadmill with upright evaluation during and after exercise
Exercise stress echocardiography is the most frequently used stress test in our laboratory. Exercise echocardiography is used mainly in the study of patients with coronary artery disease. However, the technique is increasingly being used to study other diseases. In our centre, we use an original methodology, published by us in 2000, in which we evaluate heart function during exercise in the tre...
متن کاملEarly Assessment of Left Ventricular Viability of Dyskinesia and Akinesia Myocardium in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: Real-time Contrast Echocardiography Versus Low-dose Dobutamine Echocardiography
Purpose: Low-dose dobutamine echocardiography (LDDE) has been demonstrated as an accurate imaging modality to identify viability after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but LDDE has its limitations. Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) is a good tool to assess microvascular perfusion. This study was undertaken to compare the effect of real-time MCE and LDDE in early assessment of left ve...
متن کاملClinical and economic impact of exercise electrocardiography and exercise echocardiography in clinical practice.
BACKGROUND Patients with known or suspected coronary disease are often investigated to facilitate risk assessment. We sought to examine the cost-effectiveness of strategies based on exercise echocardiography and exercise electrocardiography. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 7656 patients undergoing exercise testing; of whom half underwent exercise echocardiography. Risk was defined with the Duk...
