Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of MHOS/SHP615 administered buccally in children with status epilepticus (convulsive) in a healthcare setting.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigational treatment, MHOS/SHP615, is safe and effective in children with status epilepticus (SE) (convulsive) in the community setting. This study is open-label extension for patients who completed the SHP615-301 study and who tolerated and responded to MHOS/SHP615 treatment in the hospital setting.
Neuro-orthopedics corresponds to the evaluation and therapeutic management of the orthopedic consequences of damage to the central or peripheral nervous system. In case of neurological impairment, there may be joint, motor, sensory and cognitive impairments that limit the patient's activities. The management of these orthopedic problems falls within the specific framework of neuro-orthopedics because in the presence of neurological, problems are different and more complex than in classical orthopedics. In this context, a well-conducted evaluation is a prerequisite for appropriate treatment.
Refractory cardiogenic shock is characterized by a decreased in cardiac output with hypo-responsiveness to increasing doses of catecholamines resulting in a profound tissular ischemia. VAECMO, by restoring a circulatory flow, could be associated to a major reperfusion syndrome which may lead some patients to multiple organ failures and death. Pathophysiology of this syndrome includes 1/an hyper-adrenergic state secondary to the over activation of the sympathetic system and 2/ a major release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. As adrenoreceptors are also exhibited on immunes cells, the pro-inflammatory state might be enhanced by the over-activation of the sympathetic system.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gait training with the new wearable hip assist robot developed by Samsung Advance Institute of Technology (Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd, Korea) in patients with chronic stroke.
The research focuses on Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) which describes damage to the nerves in the lower back which supply bladder, bowels, sexual function and the legs usually from slipped discs in the spine. CES is as common as multiple sclerosis and is diagnosed using an MRI scan of the spine, 'scan positive' CES. However, about 50% of people presenting with the symptoms of CES have MRI scans which do not explain their symptoms, 'scan negative' patients. The BLB study will be the first large clinical study comparing patients with 'scan positive' and 'scan negative' CES. All patients admitted to the Western General Hospital, Edinburgh with possible CES will be invited to participate. The study consists of detailed history taking, examination and a questionnaire following up patient's symptoms at three months. The study aims to see what differences exist between the 'scan positive' and 'scan negative' groups, help doctors understand more about the outcomes of both groups and discover the number of patients with 'scan negative' CES who have functional disorders (previously called medically unexplained or conversion disorders) or undiagnosed neurological disorders.
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND The existence of the retinohypothalamic pathway suggests that light may influence autonomic outflow activity. The objective of this study was to examine the correlation between the estimated iris muscle sympathetic‒parasympathetic area (IRIS) ratio and the sympathetic-parasympathetic ratio (low frequency [LF]/high frequency [HF] ratio). METHODS The study population consisted of 200 females and 200 males (mean age, 32.4 ± 7.1 years). The IRIS ratio was determined from digital photographs of the iris in a computer setting. The LF/HF ratio was determined from records of heart rate variability obtained using a Holter implementation.
Hereditary neurological disorders are relatively common in paediatric neurological practice, but it has considerable overlap with adult neurological disorders. It is a group of of genetic diseases, most of which with a Mendelian inheritance affecting neurological system. Pathogenic mechanisms of these diseases are not fully understood. There is currently no effective therapy for most of these diseases. Disease-specific and patient- specific iPS cells would provide useful source of cells in culture modeling in these diseases. In this study, disease-specific iPS cell lines repositories from hereditary neurological disease patients will be established. The cell lines will be registered and make them available to other investigators.
Bullous pemphigoid affects mainly elderly patients. It is often associated with neurologic disorders, which represent a major risk factor of the disease
This study evaluates the effect of the need to void on parkinsonian gait
