Stem Cell Therapy for Parkinson's Disease: Past, Present and Future
Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common chronic progressive nervous system disorders of aging. Cell degeneration and death of dopamine neurons (DA neurons) in the substantial nigra, is the underlying feature of PD. Genetic studies showed much about the physiological processes associated with this disease. Replacing the cells lost by injury or disease has become a central idea aiming at the development of novel therapy for neurodegenerative diseases. …

Therapeutic Treatment of Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy: Single Case Report
Abstract: Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome is an acute inflammatory demyelinating poly-radiculoneuropathy (AIDP) characterized by weakness and a reflexia, typically. The cause of AIDP is still unknown, with suspicions of viral or bacterial infection preceding diagnosis. It can affect people of all ages, gender, or ethnic background, with equal incidence rate in both men and women. The incidence rate for AIDP is rare, affecting 1–2 people in 100,000 annually. Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Poly-radiculoneuropathy …

Are the Words in the Lexicon arranged in a pattern?
Abstract: Words are arranged in a specific pattern in the lexicon. The lexical arrangement is studied by employing a word association task. Each stimulus is known to elicit different kind of responses including taxonomic responses (which includes a response belonging to the same category), thematic (which includes a response common to the same theme as the target word). The lexical semantic organization would vary as a function of stimulus type, The …

Retrieval of nouns and verbs in Persons with Aphasia
Abstract: A grammatically correct sentence is comprised of two parts, a subject (noun or pronoun) and a predicate (verb). The noun represents the names of a particular person, place or thing. The verb, on the other hand, represents actions, states, processes or relations. Nouns and verbs, differ in the linguistic dimensions, such as word frequency, imageabilty, and lexical semantic variables. These varying dimensions have been explored in individuals with Aphasia and …

A Rare Cause of Parkinsonism—Manganese Toxicity
Abstract: A 43-year-old male presented with six months history of gradual onset and progressive bradykinesia, tremors of upper limbs and walking difficulty in the form of imbalance and short shuffling gait. He also had slurring of speech with hypophonia. Neurological examination revealed slow broken saccades, rigidity with cogwheeling, bradykinesia and short shuffling, festinant gait. He had action and postural tremors of upper limbs. Pull test was positive. Thus, a diagnosis of …

A Correlation of Genetic and Clinical Perspective of Becker’s Muscular Dystrophy
Abstract: Patients from neurogenetic clinic on the basis of clinical features, elevated serum CPK level and electromyographic features were recruited for the study. Molecular genetic testing was performed by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. A total of 60 patients were recruited in this study out of which 36 patients had deletion and 24 patients had no deletion. Our data showed that there is no correlation between clinical severity/laboratory findings and …
