Lower bispectral index values in children who are intellectually disabled.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Very few data are available on the use of bispectral index (BIS) monitoring in children who are intellectually disabled. Epileptiform electroencephalogram activity, underlying cerebral pathology, or anticonvulsant/spasmolytic therapy ... Read more...

Effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on bone formation during mandible distraction osteogenesis in a canine model--a preliminary study.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To make a preliminary study of the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on new bone formation during mandible distraction osteogenesis in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bilateral surgical cuts were made in mandibles of 7 dogs between the ... Read more...

Robot-mediated and clinical scales evaluation after upper limb botulinum toxin type A injection in children with hemiplegia.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: The aim of this pilot study was to examine changes in different aspects of impairment, including spasticity in the upper limbs, of hemiplegic children following botulinum toxin type A intervention. Progress was assessed using standard ... Read more...
