Slow (1 Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) induces a sustained change in cortical excitability in patients with Parkinson's disease
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2010)
Objective: Low-frequency ( lt = 1 Hz) rTMS (LF-rTMS) can reduce excitability in the underlying cortex and/or promote inhibition. In patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) several TMS elicited features of motor corticospinal ...
A simple method to assess freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease patients
(Assoc Bras Divulg Cientifica, Sao Paulo, 2010)
Freezing of gait (FOG) can be assessed by clinical and instrumental methods. Clinical examination has the advantage of being available to most clinicians; however, it requires experience and may not reveal FOG even for ...
Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and off-phase motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2010)
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can modulate cortical excitability and activation and consequently may affect clinical symptoms in neurological conditions characterized by altered motor cortex functions. ...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Calcium Phosphate Bioceramics: Implications in Periodontal Bone Regeneration
(Springer International Publishing Ag, Cham, 2018)
In orthopedic medicine, a feasible reconstruction of bone structures remains one of the main challenges both for healthcare and for improvement of patients' quality of life. There is a growing interest in mesenchymal stem ...
Highly potent antioxidant olea europaea l. Leaf extract affects carotid and renal haemodynamics in experimental hypertension: the role of oleuropein
(Excli Journal Managing Office, Dortmund, 2018)
Haemodynamic alterations in carotid and renal arteries are associated with the severity of target organ damage in patients with hypertension. Dietary habits, such as the Mediterranean diet, regulate blood pressure and ...
The metabolic syndrome, an epidemic among HIV-infected patients on HAART
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2009)
Background: HAART has dramatically changed the prognosis of AIDS, but has led to long-term toxicities of antiretroviral drugs. A major chronic complication is the metabolic syndrome (MS), including hyperlipidemia, lipodystrophy ...
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms: Factors influencing early survival
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2005)
In this study we aimed to define relevant prognostic predictors for the outcome of surgical treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. The study included 406 consecutive patients treated between January 1991 and ...
Erythropoietin and hypoxia increase erythropoietin receptor and nitric oxide levels in lung microvascular endothelial cells
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2011)
Acute lung exposure to low oxygen results in pulmonary vasoconstriction and redistribution of blood flow. We used human microvascular endothelial cells from lung (HMVEC-L) to study the acute response to oxygen stress. We ...
Seasonality of trichinellosis in patients hospitalized in Belgrade, Serbia
(EDP Sciences S A, Les Ulis Cedex A, 2010)
A retrospective study of the course and outcome of trichinellosis in a series of 50 patients hospitalized at the Institute for Infectious and Tropical Diseases in Belgrade between 2001 and 2008 was performed. Clinical ...
