little is known about the results of pallidal deep brain stimulation (dbs) in dyt6 dystonia. this will be the first report of dyt6 dystonia treated with pallidal dbs from iran. a 21 years old male patient with dyt6 dystonia underwent bilateral deep brain stimulation. the target of dbs was the sensorimotor region of the posteroventralglobuspallidusinternus (gpi). dbs parameters included an ampli...

background : deep brain stimulation (dbs) of the globuspallidusinternus (gpi) is recommended as a promising technique for the management of the primary generalized dystonia (pgd) with dyt1 gene mutation. we present the first report of dbs results in iranian patients with dyt1 positive pgd.   methods : nine patients who suffered from severely disabling dyt1 positive pgd consecutively were recrui...

Iontophoretic injections of the fluorescent retrograde tract tracer, Fluoro-gold, into the entopeduncular nucleus of the rat (homologous to the internal segment of the primate globus pallidus) resulted in a substantial number of retrogradely labeled neurons in the ipsilateral globus pallidus (homologous to the external segment of the primate globus pallidus). In experiments confirming this proj...

The need for organisations to share data and collaborate on a large scale with geographically dispersed parties has increased dramatically in recent years. Grid Services allow for large scale collaboration between geographically-dispersed parties running diverse hardware and software platforms, over public networks such as the Internet. Grid Services are an evolution of Web Service technology a...

BACKGROUND The basal ganglia often show abnormal metabolism and intracranial hemodynamics in cirrhotic patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Little is known about how the basal ganglia affect other brain system and is affected by other brain regions in HE. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the effective connectivity network associated with the basal ganglia is disturbed ...

While the perception of stickiness serves as one of the fundamental dimensions for tactile sensation, little has been elucidated about the stickiness sensation and its neural correlates. The present study investigated how the human brain responds to perceived tactile sticky stimuli using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). To evoke tactile perception of stickiness with multiple intens...

The Globus Toolkit makes it very easy and comfortable for grid users to develop and deploy grid service. As for the security mechanism, however, only static authentication and coarse-grained authorization mechanism is provided in current Globus Toolkit. In this paper we address the limitations of current security mechanism in the Globus Toolkit and propose a new architecture which provides fine...

introduction:dystonia is a disorder of movement caused by various etiologies. laryngeal dystonia is caused by the spasm of laryngeal muscles. it is a disorder caused by vocal fold movement in which excessive adduction or abduction of the vocal folds occurs during speech. the pathophysiology of this type of dystonia is not fully known. some researchers have suggested that basal ganglia structure...
