Forward gait instability in patients with Parkinson’s disease with freezing of gait

Neuroscience Research, 2021
Freezing of gait (FOG) appears to be associated with increased risk of forward falls in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aimed to experimentally validate forward gait instability in PD patients with FOG (PD + FOG). Eleven PD + FOG patients, 9 PD patients without FOG (PD - FOG), and 13 healthy controls participated. Self-selected paced

A Case of Apparent Upper-Body Freezing in Parkinsonism while Using a Wheelchair

Frontiers in Neurology, 2017
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a common, disabling gait disturbance in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other Parkinsonian syndromes. Freezing also occurs during non-gait movements involving the upper limbs.

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

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 ...

What is the therapeutic mechanism of pedunculopontine nucleus stimulation in Parkinson's disease?

Neurobiology of Disease, 2019
Pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an experimental treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) which offers a fairly circumscribed benefit for gait freezing and perhaps balance impairment.

Science‐Towards‐Technology Breakthrough in CO2 Electroreduction: Multiphysics, Multiscale, and Artificial Intelligence Insights

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electrochemical CO2RR is a key technology for converting CO2 into chemicals, but there remains a gap between “laboratory science” and “engineering practice” in current research. This review establishes a multi‐scale research framework, encompassing atomic‐level characterization, microenvironment regulation, external field‐assisted optimization, and AI ...

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 ...
