BACKGROUND Non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) are frequent, increase the patients' disability and have an important negative impact on their quality of life. METHODS We used a Dutch translation of the Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire (NMSQuest) to identify NMS in a population of 215 Belgian PD patients. RESULTS A median number of 8 NMS was reported per patient. Urinary urg...

OBJECTIVE Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare life-threatening condition associated with the use of antipsychotics and other drugs that influence dopaminergic transmission. Although NMS is typically associated with classical antipsychotics, it can also be induced by atypical antipsychotics. In this paper, we report a case of NMS associated with clozapine use. CASE A 27-year-old mal...

OBJECTIVE The authors report three cases of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) induced by atypical antipsychotics (olanzapine and clozapine) which showed classic features of NMS including muscular rigidity and prominent fever. METHOD Case reports. RESULTS A 66-year-old man with dementia and alcohol abuse developed NMS while on olanzapine for agitation and combativeness. A 62-year-old man ...

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) with characteristic symptoms is a potentially lethal reaction to antipsychotic drugs. Atypical NMS usually lacks major symptoms and frequently occurs after treatment using atypical antipsychotics, such as aripiprazole. A 64-year-old man developed aripiprazole-induced NMS after surgery, and our early recognition of the NMS was based on high creatine kinase le...

We report the synthesis of free-standing two-dimensional semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomembranes (NMs) using a bottomup approach, i.e., nanomembranes grown from the faceted sidewalls of horizontally oriented ZnO nanowires (NWs). The ZnO NMs were synthesized on r-plane sapphire substrates utilizing high purity ZnO powder and graphite mixture and oxygen as source materials and argon (Ar) as ...

The cyclic voltammetry of both bulk manganese sulfate (BMS) and nano manganese sulfate (NMS) were studied using 0.1M KCl supporting electrolyte and glassy carbon working electrode. The redox behavior for both bulk (BMS) and MnSO4 (NMS) sulfate was studied voltammetrically in presence and absence of Doxorubicin (DR) using three electrodes system, silver- silver chloride (Ag/AgCl), pla...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Non-motor symptoms (NMS) are important manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD) that reduce patients' health-related quality of life. Some NMS may also be caused by age-related changes, or manifested as a psychological reaction to a chronic neurological condition. This case-control study compared the NMS burden among PD patients, healthy controls and hemifacial spasm (HFS)...

Hazard identification and safety assessment of the huge variety nanomaterials (NMs), calls for robust validated toxicity screening tests in combination with cheminformatics approaches to identify factors that can drive toxicity. Cytotoxicity genotoxicity seventeen JRC repository NMs, derived from titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, silver silica, were tested vitro using human lung alveolar epithelial...
