The acquired demyelinating polyneuropathies include acute (AIDP, Guillain-BarrÉ syndrome, GBS) and chronic (CIDP, dysproteinemic) forms which differ primarily in their temporal profile. They are inflammatory-demyelinating ...
Excitatory amino acidergic pathways and receptors in the basal ganglia
(Springer-Verlag, 1991-10)
The striatum receives the majority of excitatory amino acidergic input to the basal ganglia from neocortical and allocortical sources. The subthalamic nucleus and the substantia nigra also receive excitatory amino acidergic ...
mnd2: A New Mouse Model of Inherited Motor Neuron Disease
(Elsevier, 1993-06)
The autosomal recessive mutation mnd2 results in early onset motor neuron disease with rapidly progressive paralysis, severe muscle wasting, regression of thymus and spleen, and death before 40 days of age. mnd2 has been ...

(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-10)
Nerve conduction studies play an important role in clinical practice and research. Given their widespread use, reliability of tests merits careful attention. We assessed interexaminer and intraexaminer reliability of median ...
Gene expression of the insulin-like growth factors and their receptors in human neuroblastoma cell lines
(Elsevier, 1992-10)
Insulin-like growth factors (IGF) I and II are polypeptides with both growth-promoting and insulin-like metabolic effects. The developmentally specific expression of IGF I and II in the nervous system implies a role for ...
Intratumoral injection of BCNU in ethanol (DTI-015) results in enhanced delivery to tumor – a pharmacokinetic study

In response to recent publicity regarding the potential use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for reducing tic severity in Tourette's syndrome (TS), the Tourette Syndrome Association convened a group of TS and DBS experts ...
The relationship between body mass index and the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-06)
Increased weignt and, more recently, body mass index (BMI), have been suggested as risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). In an effort to determine the relative risk (RR) of obesity in the development of CTS, 949 ...
