Background and Purpose. To determine whether the pattern of iron deposition in the fascicula nigrale in patients with Parkinson’s disease would be different from age-matched controls by utilizing quantitative susceptibility mapping to measure susceptibility change. Methods. MRIs of the brain were obtained from 34 subjects, 18 with Parkinson’s disea...

Background. Novel rehabilitation strategies have demonstrated potential benefits for motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Objective. To compare the effects of Lee Silverman Voice Therapy BIG (LSVT BIG therapy) versus a general exercise program (combined treadmill plus seated trunk and limb exercises) on motor and non-motor symp...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the minimum quantitative change on UPDRS that is detectable by PGIC and Clinician Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I). BACKGROUND: Published data do not address the correlation between changes in Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score (quantitative) and Patients’ Global Impressions of Change (PGIC) ratin...

A patient with extensive abdominal and pelvic procedures following a motor vehicle accident who had Inferior Vena Cava Filter (IVCF) implantation due to contraindication to other anticoagulation therapies presents with severe lower abdominal and back pain, fever, left lower extremity, and subsequent right lower extremity swelling. Venous Doppler ul...

Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) is an advanced MRI technique that improves the ability to detect/quantify micro and macro hemorrhagic lesions after TBI. There are few studies in children and most have been acute and not included repeated long-term imaging, combined with neurological or neuropsychologcal measures. We report the relationship of...

PURPOSE: To determine if susceptibility (iron deposition) in the striatonigral tract in patients with Parkinson's Disease is different from age matched controls. METHOD AND MATERIALS: MRI's of the brain were obtained from 22 patients consisting of 12 Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients and 10 age-matched controls. Susceptibility measurements were ma...

Objective: Febrile convulsion is the most common disorder in childhood with good prognosis. There are different hypotheses about neurotransmitters and trace element (such as zinc) changes in cerebrospinal fluid and serum, which can have a role in pathogenesis of febrile convulsion. The aim of the present prospective analytical case-control study wa...
Article
Repetition of suicide-related behavior (SRB) is a risk factor for further suicidal behavior and death. The purpose of this study was to compare characteristics of patients with and without repeated episodes of SRB to determine whether characteristics of suicide attempt, psychopathology, and psychiatric comorbidity differ between groups, and if spec...
