Study reveals how brain stimulation improves gait function in Parkinson’s
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), an illness that affects millions of people worldwide, experience gait-related abnormalities that significantly lower their quality of life. Despite the existence of numerous pharmaceutical, surgical, and rehabilitative treatments, their efficacy is con

Researchers reveal cause of inner-ear bone loss
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A group of researchers revealed how a person's hearing and balance may be compromised by a variety of disorders and difficulties caused by prolonged middle ear inflammation. A typical problem is the formation of cholesteatomas, which are abnormal ear collections of cells that, if not treated

Mild cognitive impairment is predicted by low protein levels in spinal flu
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
The amount of a protein linked to learning and memory in mice found in the spinal fluid may act as an early predictor of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) years before symptoms appear, according to a study of cognitively healthy adults.

Researchers reveal how prenatal diagnosis associated with earlier surgery
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Prenatal diagnosis, or diagnosis before a baby is born, is connected with earlier surgery for kids with congenital heart abnormalities, the most prevalent birth disorders affecting roughly 1 per cent of all live births, according to a study from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital

Low protein levels in spinal fluid predicts mild cognitive impairment: Stu
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A study of cognitively healthy adults has added to evidence that low spinal fluid levels of a protein associated with learning and memory in mice may serve as an early predictor of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) years before symptoms appear.
