6. Botulinum Toxin : Formulation, Concentration and Treatment
Sammanfattning : Botulinum toxin (BTX) is used in various fields of medicine, including the treatment of hyperhidrosis and cervical dystonia. Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and NeuroBloc® are commercially available BTX products, which are formulated differently and their dosing units are unique. LÄS MER
7. The Biophysics of Na+,K+-ATPase in neuronal health and disease
Sammanfattning : Na+,K+-ATPase is one of the most important proteins in the mammalian cell. It creates sodium and potassium gradients which are fundamental for the membrane potential and sodium-dependent secondary active transport. LÄS MER
8. Rare pediatric movement disorders : clinical aspects of genotype, phenotype, and assessment
Sammanfattning : Pediatric movement disorders are defined by an impaired ability to initiate and control movements. Dystonia, one of these disorders, may cause a life-long severe motor disability. Pharmacological treatment is often insufficient, but deep brain stimulation (DBS) has turned out to be effective for some dystonia subtypes. LÄS MER
9. Study the role of patient-specific mutations by genetic disease modeling : From gene to function; A study to understand muscles
Sammanfattning : Many genetic diseases inherited in a dominant fashion have a complex pathological pattern. TOR1A mediated Dystonia-1 (DYT1) is an example of incomplete penetrance, affecting only a third of the carriers. LÄS MER
10. Assessment of Graft Effects and Function in Cell Replacement Therapy for Parkinson's Disease
Sammanfattning : This explorative study aimed to apply, develop, and evaluate assessment methods at various levels in cell replacement therapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Observed motor effects in five grafted patients support that timed motor tasks and clinical ratings of parkinsonism are able to monitor motor function, but their psychometric properties need further attention.
