Clinical impact of correlative [123I]-FP-CIT brain imaging and neurological findings in suspect Parkinson's disease.

Purpose: Here we report our experience in a general hospital setting using [(123)I]-FP-CIT SPECT to diagnose patients with suspect Parkinson's disease (PD).

Materials And Methods: Thirty consecutive patients (19M, 11W, mean age: 61+/-13 years) were prospectively studied. Patients underwent MRI (27) at 1.

A randomized trial on the efficacy of intensive rehabilitation in the acute phase of ischemic stroke.

Sixty patients admitted to hospital for hemispherical ischemic stroke causing severe disabilities were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided in two groups: A and B. The patients in group A were given intensive rehabilitative treatment; those in group B were given ordinary rehabilitative treatment.
