Objective: This study explored balance and gait performance in people with Parkinson’s (PwP) in their usual indoor in comparison to outdoor shoes. Background: Falls are…Neuroprotective propensity of PTUPB, a dual inhibitor of sEH and COX-2 against rotenone induced neurotoxicity in cell line and Drosophila model of Parkinson disease
Objective: To evaluate the potential anti-parkinson activity of PTUPB (4-(5-phenyl-3-{3-[3-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-ureido]-propyl}-pyrazol-1-yl)-benzenesulfonamide) a dual inhibitor of soluble Epoxide hydrolase (sEH) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) against rotenone induced mitochondrial dysfunction,…Prevalence of Babinski-2 sign in Hemifacial Spasm Patients
Objective: To assess the frequency of Babinski-2 sign among patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS). Background: The Babinski-2 sign (“the other” Babinski sign, “brow-lift sign”), is…
