PURPOSE This study aimed to understand our shared conflicting response and discomfort to person-centred rehabilitation within the context of our physiotherapy rehabilitation culture by reflecting on our own experiences as research physiotherapists and clinicians. METHOD This study used autoethnographical methods to explore the personal and professional experiences of two physiotherapists in n...

The soft neurological signs (SNS) and minor physical anomalies (MPA) were studied in 107 adult schizophrenics. The sample consisted chronic (N=60) and acute (N=47) schizophrenic subtypes. The SNS were found more in chronic patients (p< .01). The most prevalent abnormalities in SNS were related to the sensory integration and motor co-ordination. The release reflexes were rare though they were en...

BACKGROUND Neurological soft signs (NSS) are hypothesized as candidate endophenotypes for schizophrenia, but their prevalence and relations with clinical and demographic data are unknown. The authors undertook a quantification (meta-analysis) of the published literature on NSS in patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls. A systematic search was conducted for published articles reporting...

The nervous system is an extremely complex communication system that can send and receive large amounts of information simultaneously. The nervous system has two distinct parts: the central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (the nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord). The main unit of the nervous system is neural cells (neurons). The rou...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is one of the most common neurological diseases with no definite treatment. erythropoietin (epo) and progesterone (prog) have been shown to have neuroprotective effects in different types of experimental brain injury models. this study was designed to determine the effect of epo, prog and combination of epo/prog on neurological outcome after traumatic brain injury. ...
