Deep brain stimulation of the Cuneiform nucleus for levodopa-resistant freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease: study protocol for a prospective, pilot trial

open access: yesPilot and Feasibility Studies, 2021
Background Freezing of gait (FOG) is a particularly debilitating motor deficit seen in a subset of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients that is poorly responsive to standard levodopa therapy or deep brain stimulation (DBS) of established PD targets such as ...

Long-term Improvements of Neuroplasty and Scalene Muscle Resection in LTN-injured Winged Scapula Patients

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2021
Background:. Injuries to the long thoracic nerve, which directly branches off of the C6, C7, and C8 brachial plexus nerve roots, can cause scapular winging and affect shoulder movements. Long thoracic nerve injuries resulting from accidents, violence, or

Studies of intercellular invasion in vitro using rabbit peritoneal neutrophil granulocytes (PMNS). I. Role of contact inhibition of locomotion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
Intercellular invasion is the active migration of cells on one type into the interiors of tissues composed of cells of dissimilar cell types. Contact paralysis of locomotion is the cessation of forward extension of the pseudopods of a cell as a result of
