Tremor is defined as rhythmic and oscillating involuntary movements of a body part. Action tremor occurs when a body part is activated, and is clinically most frequently seen in Essential (idiopathic) Tremor (ET), with an overall prevalence of 0.9 %, and of 4.6 % in people over 65 years. But it can
Introduction Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of conditions involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles and associated structures. This broad complex of functional disorders often affects the face and jaws causing chronic pain, earaches, headaches, migraines, neck
This pilot study proposal is designed to perform a chronological measurement of MWF in new contrast-enhancing lesions in subjects treated with ACTH during an acute exacerbation of MS.
The initial course of ACTH (H.P. Acthar®) will be administered as recommended in the package insert, a subcutaneous
3 Background The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery elicits generalized non-specific systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and subsequent activation of the cytokine, complement, and coagulation-fibrinolytic cascades (1). In approximately 11% of the patients SIRS may
In the presence of infection, normal immune and physiologic responses act in concert to eradicate pathogens. When these responses are inappropriately regulated, sepsis develops. Sepsis is characterized by systemic manifestations of infection. The diagnosis is made by identifying at least 2 of the
Patients with their first episode of unilateral acute ON will be treated with either 3 days of IV methylprednisolone followed by 11 days of oral prednisone or 15 days of intramuscular or subcutaneous corticotropin (Acthar).
This is a parallel active group, randomized controlled trial in which up to
Rationale/Goal: The use of contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been a gold standard in diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS). One active lesion (i.e. enhanced after the injection of contrast agent) is one of the major McDonald criteria in diagnosis patients with MS and request
Schizophrenia is a chronic, debilitating disorder with life-long consequences on affected individuals and families. Schizophrenia is also associated with impaired cognition or thinking, which persists despite currently available treatments, and is an important determinant of quality of life and

Objective:
Brain damage following traumatic injury (TBI) results from both direct (eg, mechanical injury to the brain and vasculature) and indirect mechanisms (eg, secondary mechanisms such as inflammation). While CT and MRI can help visualize the result of inflammatory processes in the brain for
The study was approved by the ethic committee of Songklanagarind Hospital in Songkhla, Thailand, and was designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. All patients gave their informed consent after receiving written information of the study. Orthopedic patients were invited to
