QEEG Measures in Huntington’s Disease: A Pilot Study

QEEG Measures in Huntington's Disease: A Pilot Study

Structural brain changes as measured with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are associated with progression of Huntington's Disease (HD), a trinucleotide repeat neurodegenerative disorder. Neurophysiological measures may offer additional biomarkers of the onset and progression of brain disease. We used quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) power measures to assess resting state brain functi...

Correlation Between Functional Balance and Mobility Tests and Postural Sway Measures in Dual Task Paradigm in Parkinson’s Disease (a Pilot Study)

Objective: The present study was aimed to correlate the clinical tests with the laboratory measures under dual task conditions in Parkinson's disease (PD). Materials and Methods: Eleven people with idiopathic PD (Modified Hoehn and Yahr scores 1-3) were selected by simple non-probability sampling. Center of pressure (COP) data obtained by force platform was used to calculate mean total velocity...

Neonatal Screening for Sickle Cell Disease in South West Iran: a Pilot Study

Background: Children affected with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at increased risk for severe morbidity and mortality, especially during the first 3-5 years of life. It is suggested that early treatment can improve the condition. The aim of this pilot study was to estimate the incidence of hemoglobin S (HbS) by umbilical cord blood screening in Khorramshahr and Abadan cities in southwest of Ira...

qEEG and Alzheimer's disease.

We read with great interest the article published by Fonseca et al. about the contribution of quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) analyses in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)1. In this article, the authors concluded that the study of coherence and power in the qEEG showed a relatively limited accuracy, with respect to its application in the routine clinical practice. Beyond thi...
