oral feeding difficulties are common in children with cerebral palsy (cp). the effect of oral-motor dysfunction on feeding problems has been proved in several studies. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of oral sensorimotor stimulations on feeding performance in children with spastic cerebral palsy. a total of 12 children with spastic cerebral palsy underwent 24 session...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) mainly affects the dopaminergic neuronal networks of substantia nigra, which leads to both motor and nonmotor symptoms disease. Based on reports from previous studies, 95% cases are presented along with olfactory dysfunction. The relevant publications 2002 2021 were searched shortlisted using PubMed Google Scholar. In this review, we have discussed correlation between d...

Huntington's disease (HD) is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder involving motor dysfunction, cognitive deficits, and psychiatric disturbances that result from underlying striatal and cortical dysfunction and neuropathology. The YAC128 mouse model of HD reproduces both the motor deficits and selective degeneration observed in the human disease. However, the presence of cognitive impairmen...

Whereas hemispheric dominance is well-established for appendicular motor control in humans, the evidence for dominance in axial motor control is still scarce. In Parkinson's disease (PD), unilateral (UL) onset of appendicular motor symptoms corresponds with asymmetric neurodegeneration predominantly affecting contralateral nigrostriatal circuits. Disease progression yields bilateral and axial m...

BACKGROUND Postnatal corticosteroid therapy has been proved in randomized controlled trials to reduce ventilator dependence and the rate of chronic lung disease in preterm infants with few serious short-term side effects. However, there are other consequences that might follow postnatal corticosteroid therapy that are more important, including mortality or cerebral palsy. OBJECTIVES To review...
