Extractions: ²Ä¤Q¤@¤G¨÷²Ä¤G´ÁºKn Spinal Muscular Atrophy: From Animal Model to Potential Treatments Ming-Shiun Tsai , Sue-Hong Wang , Li-Kai Tsai , and Hung Li Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan; Jen-Teh Junior College of Medicine, Nursing and Management, Miaoli, Taiwan; Department of Neurology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan Abstract- Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord leading to muscular paralysis and atrophy. SMA is the second commonest genetic cause of death in childhood affecting approximately 1 in 10,000 live births, but no effective treatment is currently available. Due to gene deletions, mutations, or conversions, the telomeric copy of the survival of motor neuron (SMN) gene is abnormal in more than 96% of patients with clinically typical SMA. The identification of SMN-interacting protein strongly suggests that it is involved in the assembly of the spliceosome, processing of pre-mRNA splicing, transcription, and metabolism of ribosomal RNA. Mouse models of human SMA have been established through a combination of knockout and transgenic techniques. These SMA-like mice genotypically and phenotypically mimic SMA
Types Of Brain Injury akinetic mutism. akinetic mutism is a neurobehavioral condition thatresults when the dopaminergic pathways in the brain are damaged. http://www.biausa.org/Pages/types_of_brain_injury.html
Extractions: A direct blow to the head can be great enough to injure the brain inside the skull. A direct force to the head can also break the skull and directly hurt the brain. This type of injury can occur from motor vehicle crashes, firearms, falls, sports, and physical violence, such as hitting or striking with an object. A rapid acceleration and deceleration of the head can force the brain to move back and forth across the inside of the skull. The stress from the rapid movements pulls apart nerve fibers and causes damage to brain tissue. This type of injury often occurs as a result of motor vehicle crashes and physical violence, such as Shaken Baby Syndrome. `Traumatic brain injury is an insult to the brain, not of a degenerative or congenital nature but caused by an external physical force, that may produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness, which results in an impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning. It can also result in the disturbance of behavioral or emotional functioning. These impairments may be either temporary or permanent and cause partial or total functional disability or psychosocial maladjustment.

Extractions: Due to the recent use of new testing methods and techniques for 14-3-3 CSF protein analysis, we have noticed an increase in sensitivity of these techniques, resulting in a greater number of positive results. This phenomenon is being seen worldwide and is currently being assessed. It is therefore strongly recommended that the 14-3-3 protein analysis not be used as a screening test in the evaluation of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease patients, but rather as a test to be interpreted in conjunction with the overall clinical signs, symptoms and other investigations.

Accommodate To use an alternative means to furnish with something needed or desired. Acetylcholine (ACH) A neurotransmitter that carries messages between the nerves and muscles. Action Potential This occurs when a neuron is activated and temporarily reverses the charge of a membrane from negative to positive, resulting in the release of a neurotransmitter.

Extractions: A novel prodrug type approach for triggered delivery of thrombolytic drugs without their associated hemorrhagic effects has been proposed. Presented herein is a rapid communication of preliminary observations that suggest the feasibility of the approach. A hirulog-streptokinase fusion protein (termed "HSK") possessing active thrombolytic functions has been successfully produced using recombinant DNA technology. The prodrug and triggered release features of this approach have been demonstrated by the inhibition of the plasminogen-activating activity of HSK via binding with thrombin and reversal of this inhibition by hirudin.

Extractions: On 21 March 1996, the CJDSU circulated to all neurologists in the UK a description of the clinical and pathological features of the new phenotype. The clinical features of the new phenotype of CJD described in the circular were as follows: An early age of onset or death (average 27.6 years, range 18-41 years). A prolonged duration of illness (average 13.1 months, range 7.5-24 months). A predominantly psychiatric presentation including anxiety, depression, withdrawal and progressive behavioural changes. The first evidence of neurological involvement in four patients was dysaesthesiae in the limbs and/or face. Development of a cerebellar syndrome with problems with gait and limb muscle coordination after a period of weeks or months. Development of forgetfulness and memory disturbance, often late in the clinical course, which progressed to severe cognitive impairment and a state of akinetic mutism

Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed The degree of drowsiness is often misrepresented on the patient'srecord. The terms obtundation, stupor, and coma are often used interchangeably. It is best to note the response the patient makes to his environment (i.e. responds to soft verbal stimuli, loud verbal stimuli,physical stimuli such as shaking, or deep painful stimuli to theextremities). Coma or absence of arousal to any external stimuli is mimicked by several other clinical conditions which should not be diagnosed as coma. These conditions include: (1) locked in syndrome, (2) psychogenic coma, (3) persistent vegetative state, (4) akinetic mutism,(5) hypersomnolence (exaggerated sleep response), and (6) brain death. All of these conditionswill look like coma and should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Locked-in syndrome is seen in brain stem infarction or metabolic conditions which cause paralysis of all four extremities without loss ofconsciousness. Generally there is preservation of eye movements and the blink reflex, and communication may be established in this manner. This may alsooccur in acute motor paralysis due to peripheral nerve or neuromuscularjunction blockade. Psychogenic coma should be considered if the patient has intact brainstem reflexes including calorics, pupillary reactions, and optokinetic nystagmus. In psychogenic coma there is an active resistance to eyelidopening and the eyes will tend to avoid looking at the examiner.
University Of Miami School Of Medicine - Glossary - Akinetic For example, a person in coma is akinetic. For another example, akineticmutism is a condition in which a person is both mute and akinetic. http://www.med.miami.edu/patients/glossary/art.asp?articlekey=6989
