Pathologic findings in retinal pigment epithelial cell implantation for Parkinson disease.

31 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Attempts at cell-based dopamine replacement therapy in Parkinson disease (PD) have included surgical implantation of adrenal medullary, fetal mesencephalic, and cultured human mesencephalic tissue grafts. Trials involving putamenal ... Read more...

[Cerebral palsy]

30 Aug 2009 Great advances have been made in the causes, lesions and symptoms of cerebral palsy over the years. Children with athetosis have lesions of the ventral lateral nuclei of the thalamus and putamen. Cocontraction and overflow are considered essential ... Read more...

Computed tomography-guided aspiration versus key-hole craniotomy for spontaneous putaminal haemorrhage: a prospective comparison of minimally invasive procedures.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness of two minimally invasive procedures, namely computed tomography-guided aspiration and the key-hole approach, in the neurosurgical management for spontaneous putaminal haemorrhage, and to explore the ... Read more...
