Article Synopsis
- Rhodopsin is a crucial protein for vision in low-light conditions, and mutations can lead to retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa, often by reducing the protein's stability.
- Researchers studied the effects of the anticonvulsant retigabine on rhodopsin's thermal stability and functionality using spectroscopic methods.
- The findings show that retigabine improves rhodopsin's thermal stability and chromophore regeneration without interfering with the overall phototransduction process, suggesting its potential as a treatment for retinal degenerative diseases linked to rhodopsin mutations.
Introduction: The use of YouTube® has spread among patients with chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). These patients consult the available videos to learn more about their disease in terms of diagnosis and making decisions about treatments, including rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the content, educational value, and quality analysis of MS videos about neurorehabilitation on YouTube® using quantitative instruments.
