conclusions cyclosom and histamine synergistically exert catalepsy in old rats. in light of these data, the combination of the decreased brain level of somatostatin and increased brain level of histamine may be of pathogenic relevance for extrapyramidal signs in pd. results cyclosom (0.2, 1.0, and 5.0 µg) and histamine (1.0 and 10.0 µg) alone were ineffective in both young and old animals. in c...

background: the ketogenic diet (kd), high in fat and low in carbohydrate and protein, provides sufficient protein but insufficient carbohydrates for all the metabolic needs of the body. kd has been known as a therapeutic manner intractable epilepsy. in recent years, the effectiveness of kd drew attention to the treatment of some other disorders such as parkinson’s disease (pd). this study has e...

INTRODUCTION Transcranial sonography (TCS) is a relatively new ultrasound modality which could display echogenicity of human brain tissue through the intact skull. TCS may be useful in differentiation of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) from other parkinsonian disorders. Therefore, we studied different ultrasound markers by TCS in individuals with Parkinson's disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS ...

Parkinsonian syndromes can be classified into 2 major groups: Parkinson disease (PD)andatypicalparkinsoniandisorders. Commoncharacteristics includeakinesia, expressed as slowness and paucity of movement (eg, decreased arm swing or facial expression) and difficulty in initiating movement, and are associated with rigidity with or without resting tremor. Parkinsonian syndromes frequently occur in ...

Objective: to analyse 24 parkinsonian patients successfully treated by bilateral STN stimulation for the presence of behavioural disorders. Method: patients were evaluated retrospectively for adjustment disorders (social adjustment scale, SAS), psychiatric disorders (comparison of the results of psychiatric interview and the mini international neuropsychiatric inventory) and personality changes...
