Objective: Pain is one of the most common nonmotor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), with variable characteristics among populations. This multicenter Egyptian study aimed to translate and validate the King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Scale (KPPS) and Questionnaire (KPPQ) into Arabic versions and to investigate the pain characteristics in Egyptian people with PD (PWP).
Methods: A total of 192 PWP and 100 sex- and age-matched controls were evaluated by the KPPS-Arabic and KPPQ-Arabic.
Aim: To detect if we can use the reduction in the optic disc vessel density as an indicator to the reduction in intracranial tension in patients with residual optic disc elevation after shunt surgery as fundus examination in those cases is not conclusive.
Patients And Method: 21 patients with papilledema due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension underwent shunt surgery. Full neurological and ophthalmological assessments were done.
Background: Malondialdehyde (MDA) is an oxidative stress biomarker, which represents a unifying mechanism of brain injury that occurs throughout the ischemic stroke cascade. The current study aimed to examine whether or not acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who had elevated serum MDA levels at admission had an increased risk of mortality and a worse functional outcome three months later.
Methods: An observational, prospective cohort study that enrolled 90 patients with AIS.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of high-frequency repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied contralesionally versus transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation (TNES) in acute post-stroke dysphagic patients.
Materials And Methods: A randomized, parallel, comparative, controlled trial was conducted on patients with acute ischemic stroke who were admitted to our department. Fifteen patients received rTMS, 15 patients received TNES, and 15 patients were recruited as a control group.
