Assessing parkinsonism & cerebellar dysfunction with spiral & line drawings.

Background And Purpose: Recognising neurological diseases is challenging without accurate diagnostic tools. Therefore, many approaches have been taken to recognise and evaluate these diseases through speech, movement, or drawing modalities.The purpose of the study is to compare the recognition of Parkinson’s and cerebellar symptoms using spiral and line drawings recorded from the same subjects.

Recognition analysis of spiral and straight-line drawings in tremor assessment.

Objectives: No standard, objective diagnostic procedure exists for most neurological diseases causing tremors. Therefore, drawing tests have been widely analyzed to support diagnostic procedures. In this study, we examine the comparison of Archimedean spiral and line drawings, the possibilities of their joint application, and the relevance of displaying pressure on the drawings to recognize Parkinsonism and cerebellar dysfunction.

Neurosurgical Steps and Lessons Learned in Final Separation of 3-Year-Old Craniopagus Twins.

The only published paper describing the separation of the conjoined twins did not describe the novel steps and techniques of the microsurgery part, which lasted 26 hours. That paper did not include the neurosurgical video, either. The massive intracerebral hemorrhage that occurred on postoperative day 33 was not reported, and its potential causes have not been scrutinized.
