Chronic subdural haematoma presenting as freezing of gait [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2017
In this report, we describe a case of freezing of gait (FOG) in a patient with chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH). An 81-year-old patient presented with progressive FOG about 6 weeks after a minor head trauma. MRI revealed CSDH in the left hemisphere, resulting in a marked compression of the hemisphere. His FOG disappeared after neurosurgical evacuation

Multivalent Protein Nanorings for Broad and Potent SARS‐CoV‐2 Neutralization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A protein‐only, modular multivalent nanoscaffold displaying 20 anchor points, decorated with two different binders (10 of each), targeting the SARS‐CoV‐2 receptor‐binding domain is presented. The construct self‐assembles into stable, biocompatible, homogeneous nanoparticles, exhibit synergistic binding with fM IC50 values. It also detects spike at 9 ng

Freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease: pathophysiology, risk factors and treatments

Translational Neurodegeneration, 2020
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a common, disabling symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the mechanisms and treatments of FOG remain great challenges for clinicians and researchers.

Patient‐Derived 3D Bioprinted Cardiac Organoid Constructs Reveal Key Pathological Features of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Patient‐derived cardiac organoids reveal key features of Duchenne muscular dystrophy cardiomyopathy, including apoptosis, oxidative stress, calcium handling defects, and mechanical remodeling. By integrating organoids into alginate–gelatin bioprinted constructs, disease phenotypes are organized into scalable 3D cardiac tissues displaying extracellular ...

Motor imagery of gait tasks in individuals with Parkinson disease [PDF]

, 2012
We developed a questionnaire to assess motor imagery (MI) of gait and administered it to 34 controls and 28 individuals with PD. Our goals were: 1) compare gait MI in individuals with and without PD, 2) determine whether walking performance relates to ...

Serotonergic System‐Targeted Nucleic Acid Hydrogel Coordinates Excitability Restoration and Circuit Reconstruction for Spinal Cord Injury Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The study reports a DNA/RNA heteroduplex hydrogel (SeroPTEN‐CG) that undergoes DNase‐mediated hydrogel‐to‐nanogel transition for spinal cord injury therapy by targeting the serotonergic system, combining 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT)‐mediated excitability restoration to reactivate dormant interneurons with phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)‐targeted ...

Home detection of freezing of gait using Support Vector Machines through a single waist-worn triaxial accelerometer [PDF]

, 2017
Among Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms, freezing of gait (FoG) is one of the most debilitating. To assess FoG, current clinical practice mostly employs repeated evaluations over weeks and months based on questionnaires, which may not accurately map the ...

Clinical indicators of gait freezing in Parkinson's disease

The Moldovan Medical Journal, 2020
Background: Freezing of gait is a common (FOG) episodic gait disorder in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). FOG is one of the main risk factors for falls; therefore FOG’s consequences can be devastating. This symptom is difficult to study in a research laboratory because of its unpredictability which makes it difficult to select patients for clinical ...

Gait and cognition: mapping the global and discrete relationships in ageing and neurodegenerative disease [PDF]

, 2016
Recent research highlights the association of gait and cognition in older adults but a stronger understanding is needed to discern coincident pathophysiology, patterns of change, examine underlying mechanisms and aid diagnosis.
