BACKGROUND As many as 20% of individuals with the clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) do not have the characteristic neuropathologic features of PD at post mortem. The striatonigral degeneration (SND) subtype of multiple system atrophy is one of the categories of pathology which may be incorrectly diagnosed as PD on the basis of clinical presentation. SND may be associated with incre...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to determine the regional recurrence rate of node-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) in patients undergoing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and selective neck dissection (SND) followed by observation, radiation, or concurrent chemoradiation. STUDY DESIGN A prospective, phase I, single-arm study was conducted. All OPSCC p...

In the present study, we established dose-response relationships between central administration of 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (Tempol, a superoxide dismutase mimetic) and the level of renal sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) and tested the hypothesis that intracerebroventricular (icv) Tempol pretreatment would attenuate centrally mediated changes in SND produced by icv ANG II...

a lab-scale cross flow membrane bioreactor (cf-mbr) was operated to determine the biokinetic coefficients under mlss concentrations of 5000 and 3000 mg/l. the investigation showed that the yield (y), the endogenous decay coefficient (kd), the maximum specific growth rate (μm) and the saturation constant (ks) were 0.276 mg/mg, 0.07 /day, 0.653 /day, and 396.62 mg cod/l respectively for mlss 500...

Background: The incidence of sinus node dysfunction (SND) increases with age. Likewise, the coronary artery disease (CAD) has increased from year to in Indonesia. When doctors are faced SND patients CAD, it can be confusing determining initial treatment options. Objective: This study aimed describe diagnosis and management CAD patient. Case Presentation: We will discuss a 75 years old male who ...

PURPOSE To report retinal blood flow levels measured by Laser speckle flowgraphy in three patients after they received an intravitreal bevacizumab injection (IVB) for macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). METHODS Three patients (3 eyes) being treated with IVB (1.25 mg/0.05 mL) for secondary macular edema of CRVO were examined. Laser speckle flowgraphy analyses of t...
