the bender-gestalt test was given to thirty mentally-retarded psychiatric patients. the mean, standard deviation, and standard error were 56.73, 26.25, and 4.80 respectively. rotation was the most frequent major deviation which occurred in all the designs. design # 7 was the most difficult one to be reproduced in the sample. this design by itself, was subject to 47% of distortion, 79% of omissi...

introduction: animal models of parkinson’s disease (pd) with partial damage of nigrostriatal dopaminergic system are very suitable for development of treatment strategies. although drug-induced rotational behavior has been conventionally used for analysis of lesioned animals, but bcause of the development of sensitization, it is necessary to invent a pure behavioral test that can evaluate such ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. Several toxin-induced animals models simulate the motor deficits occurring in PD. Among them, the unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) model is frequently used in rats and has the advantage of presenting side-biased motor impairments. However, the behavioral consequences of a unilateral 6-OHDA-lesion have, so far, ...

introduction and objectives: tuberculosis (tb) still remains a major health concern both in developing and developed countries. the rate of the liver injury due to anti-tb drugs in developed countries has been reported up to 4%. the goal of this study is to assess the rate and risk factors for anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (dili). also, a model has been designed to predict dili in...
