BACKGROUND Obesity is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally and challenging to treat because of the multifactorial etiology and presentation. Individualized homeopathy takes into account factors that led to a patient's health condition and hence may have a role in the
Obesity is a "disease of civilization" that leads to the formation of vascular pathology. Vegetodystonia, a heterogeneous syndrome both as regards the type and clinical course, is a pronounced clinical manifestation of obesity. The role of vegetodystonia in the formation of atherogenic potential of
The neurovegetative state was studied by a questionnaire in 70 obese patients. In 61 of them frontal and distal thermometry with liquid crystal cholesterol thermoindicators was performed and the polarization currents of the hands were recorded. In 21.3% of the obese patients deviations in the
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been employed to treat a variety of disorders such as Parkinson disease, dystonia, and essential tremor. Newer indications such as epilepsy and obsessive-compulsive disorder have been added to the armamentarium. In this review, we present an initial summary of
We report on two sisters with a childhood-onset form of predominantly axial dystonia with marked diurnal fluctuations. Onset of clinical features was at approximately 6 years of age. Associated features included marked fatigue, slight facial dysmorphism, short stature, obesity, and learning
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the technique of neurostimulation of deep brain structures for the treatment of conditions such as essential tremor, dystonia, Parkinson's disease and chronic pain syndromes. The procedure uses implanted deep brain stimulation electrodes connected to extension leads
The Alström syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by retinal degeneration, obesity, progressive hearing impairment, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and kidney and heart failure. Mental retardation is absent and the extremities are normal. The Alström syndrome gene
Leigh's syndrome, which is characterised by progressive neurodegeneration involving the brainstem and basal ganglia, belongs to a family of disorders classified as mitochondrial myopathies. It is most commonly transmitted by an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, but can sometimes occur in a
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus interna and subthalamic nucleus has restored some degree of motor control in many patients in advanced stages of Parkinson's disease. DBS has also been used to treat dystonia, essential tremor (progressive neurological condition causing trembling),
OBJECTIVE
To our knowledge, we report the first series to analyze use of the Montgomery cannula as an airway management tool for indications other than obstructive sleep apnea.
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the use and outcomes of Montgomery cannula placement for airway management and to identify indications
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate prevalence of metabolic syndrome "X" (MS) components in the families of probands and their wives regarding the presence of hyperinsulinemia and in probands' children of both sexes regarding their having vegetovascular dystonia.
METHODS
92 families were selected by the proband
Ninety-eight subjects with a diagnosis of primary rheumocarditis made at a pediatric clinic in childhood were examined for the central hemodynamics by tetrapolar chest rheography. Based on a clinical and instrumental study rheumatic heart disease was diagnosed in 3 subjects; in 37 subjects, no heart
UNASSIGNED
What is the topic of this review? This article reviews data from studies on human participants and animal models showing how electrical stimulation in deep brain structures (deep brain stimulation) can influence autonomic function. What advances does it highlight? Focusing on the control
Implantation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes via stereotactic neurosurgery has become a standard procedure for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. More recently, the range of neuropsychiatric conditions and the possible target structures suitable for DBS have greatly increased. The
OBJECTIVE
Based on the success of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of adult disorders, it is reasonable to assume that the application of DBS in the pediatric population is an emerging area worthy of study. The purpose of this paper is to outline the current movement disorder
