This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many extrapyramidal motor diseases result from underlying neurodegenerative processes, which however are very advanced at the time the clinical diagnosis is made. From animal experiments it seems likely that we may soon have several substances that provide neuroprotective effects, but that their therapeutic use must be as early as possible. This fact was the starting point for the meeting, held at Chiemsee, that formed the basis of this book. The idea was to develop in strumental methods that, first, permit an earlier diagnosis by drawing on the experience of experts and, second, provide a better resolution of successful therapy than the currently used methods. As early as 1886, Charcot tried to differentiate the tremor of polysclerosis and Parkinson patients by using a drum developed by Marey, a physiologist. Subse quently, many apparatuses were developed to better identify movement disorders, initially for diagnostic purposes. Most of these methods proved to be inferior to the skill of experienced observers. In the last two decades, however, both the technical advances made in measuring methods and the improvements achieved in methods of evaluation have led to marked advances in the quantification of motor dis turbances. An objective of the symposium held at Chiemsee and of this book is to provide an overview of the procedures that are currently commonly used for extrapyramidal movement disorders, and to identify their potential and limitations.

Download or read book Parkinsons s Disease written by Peter Lewitt and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-05-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the general population becoming increasingly aware of new developments for the diagnosis and treatment of certain neurological disorders throught increased media coverage in the popular press and on television and with celebrities being affected, the clinician must be aware of all the latest developments inthe diagnosis and treatment of disease. Parkinson's disease is no different. Peter LeWitt and Wolfgang Oertel have assembled an international team of contributors to write on their particular areas of expertise to produce a work which will help the practising clinician. This book captures all the latest information: the most important developments in the research of Parkinson's disease in recent years and the many different approaches to the treatment of the disease. These are exciting times for the study of Parkinson's disease, and this book condenses the wealth of available information into a practical text.

This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completely updated including coverage of the Parkin gene, this second edition unveils advances in the genetics of Parkinson's Disease (PD). The author reviews the role of alpha synuclein in the genesis of PD and covers tau protein and related diseases, MPTP and drug induced PD, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis. He explores pharmacological approaches to the treatment of PD such as the use of COMT inhibitors and dopamine agonist and advances in technology such as devices that provide additional treatment options including deep brain stimulation and transplantation. The book concludes with new chapters covering the differential diagnosis of PD and related disorders.
Download or read book Wearable and Wireless Systems for Healthcare I written by Robert Charles LeMoyne and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second edition of the one originally published in 2017. The original publication features the discovery of numerous novel applications for the use of smartphones and portable media devices for the quantification of gait, reflex response, and an assortment of other concepts that constitute first-in-the-world applications for these devices. Since the first edition, numerous evolutions involving the domain of wearable and wireless systems for healthcare have transpired warranting the publication of the second edition. This volume covers wearable and wireless systems for healthcare that are far more oriented to the unique requirements of the biomedical domain. The paradigm-shifting new wearables have been successfully applied to gait analysis, homebound therapy, and quantifiable exercise. Additionally, the confluence of wearable and wireless systems for healthcare with deep learning and neuromorphic applications for classification is addressed. The authors expect that these significant developments make this book valuable for all readers.

This book was released on 2007-06-28 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating and worthy text that presents new insights into a hugely important area of mental health. Health-related quality of life (HRQL) impairment is a core domain of prevalent mental disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective, mood and anxiety disorders. The authors present a new conceptual framework for this field by explaining how HRQL impairment arises from interactions between various multidimensional factors. They suggest several ways in which further research could enhance our understanding of HRQL impairment, its biological basis, and its relevance to psychopathology.
