Introduction and Genetics Wilson's disease (WD; Hepatolenticular degeneration) is an autosomal-recessive disorder of copper metabolism due to absence or dysfunction of a copper-transporting, Ptype ATPase which is essential for the transport of copper into bile. Affected patients accumulate excessive copper within the liver as well as the brain and other tissues. This is mainly a disease of chil...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder which affect nervous system and is characterized with progressive distal motor neuron weakness. The survival motor neuron (SMN) protein level reduces in patients with SMA. Two different genes code survival motor neuron protein in human genome. Skeletal and intercostal muscles denervation lead to weakness, hypotony, hyporeflexia, respiratory fa...

AIM To systematically review the evidence on the effectiveness of motor interventions for infants from birth to 2 years with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy or at high risk of it. METHOD Relevant literature was identified by searching journal article databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, Web of Knowledge, and PEDro). Selection criteria included infants between the ages of birth and 2 yea...

I have examined the B(E2)’s in 12Be connecting the first 2+ state to the first two 0+ states. I find that they can be understood in the simple model that has been successful for a variety of other observables in this nucleus, but only if the 2+ state has an excited-core component.

As our knowledge of the functional and pharmacological architecture of the nervous system increases, we are getting better at treating cognitive and affective disorders. Along with the ability to modify cognitive and affective systems in disease, we are also learning how to modify these systems in health. “Cosmetic neurology,” the practice of intervening to improve cognition and affect in healt...

this review provides an overview of the present knowledge on the aspects of preoperative fasting with the assessment of the evidence quality. a systematic research was conducted in electronic databases in order to identify trials published between 1990 and 2014 concerning preoperative fasting, early resumption of oral intake and the effects of oral carbohydrate mixtures on gastric emptying and ...

abstract: herpes simplex encephalitis (hse) is a life threatening outcome of herpes simplex virus (hsv) infection of the central nervous system (cns). hsv accounts for 2-5 percent of all cases of encephalitis. one third of cases occur in those younger than 20 years old and one half in those older than 50 years old. clinical diagnosis is recommended in the encephalopathic, febrile patients with ...

We use known widths and branching ratios in 11Be to discuss Jπ and configuration admixtures. Analysis favors 3/2− for the 3.96-MeV state and three-state mixing for this Jπ .
