Tremor-Dominant Parkinson Disease (2019)

Abstract Deep brain stimulation is an evidence-based treatment for Parkinson disease that has been shown to improve quality of life along multiple domains. Though ablation may be considered in patients with unilateral tremor dominance, deep brain stimulation has evolved as the dominant therapy as it can be performed bilaterally and can be adjusted with time. For patients with tremor as the dominant symptom, stimulation of the ventralis intermedius nucleus of the thalamus may be co

Deactivation of One Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Device to Address Brittle Ipsilateral Dyskinesia in a Patient With Tremor-Dominant Parkinson Disease (2020)

A 78-year-old right-handed woman with a 10-year history of tremor-dominant Parkinson disease (PD) was recommended for bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). The patient was implanted with bilateral omnidirectional STN DBS electrodes after intraoperative microelectrode recordings and intraoperative test stimulation. Immediately after implantation, the motor symptoms improved considerably, but 3 to 4 weeks later, a debilitating left-sided resting tremor re-emerged

Performance of Coconut-shell Activated Carbon on Methylene Blue Treatment (2023)

Coconut shell was chosen as a raw material to synthesize activated carbon through physical and chemical activation methods and to evaluate the performance of methylene blue treatment Physical activation method was done by heating the coconut shell in the furnace at 400°C and the chemical activation method was done by using phosphoric acid. Prepared coconut-shell activated carbon (CSAC) was analysed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to determine the presence of functional group
