Intrinsically Disordered Proteins02:18

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

19.3K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

15.5K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles

6.2K
In eukaryotic cells,  cytoskeletal filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form a mesh-like cytoskeletal network. These filaments serve as tracks for transporting cellular cargo. Specialized motor proteins use the chemical energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for this transport. During interphase, microtubules are polarized, with the plus-end towards the cell periphery and the minus-end towards the cell center. Two microtubule-associated motor proteins,...

Movement Joints in Buildings01:27

Movement Joints in Buildings

340
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Fluid Movement Between Compartments01:18

Fluid Movement Between Compartments

3.8K
The force applied by fluids against a surface, known as hydrostatic pressure, initiates the transfer of fluid among different compartments. Within our blood vessels, the blood's hydrostatic pressure is a result of the heart's pumping action. At the arteriolar end of capillaries, hydrostatic pressure (capillary blood pressure) exceeds the opposing colloid osmotic pressure created primarily by plasma proteins like albumin. This discrepancy in pressure propels plasma and nutrients from the...

Other Disorders of Digestive System

1.4K
The gastrointestinal tract is susceptible to various disorders. If the lower esophageal sphincter is damaged, stomach acid can flow back into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation of the lining. This condition is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (known as heartburn) and may cause chest pain and difficulty swallowing. In the stomach, prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, chronic alcohol consumption, bacterial infections such as Helicobacter...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) offers a minimally invasive treatment for intractable tremor, particularly for patients unsuitable for surgery. This advanced radiosurgical thalamotomy provides significant tremor relief and improves quality of life with a low adverse effect rate.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Tremor is a common adult movement disorder.
  • Medical management is often insufficient for intractable tremor.
  • Surgical options like Deep-Brain Stimulation (DBS) and Radiofrequency Thalamotomy (RFT) target the VIM nucleus but are invasive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) as a minimally invasive treatment for tremor.
  • To assess the efficacy and safety of radiosurgical thalamotomy for refractory tremor.
  • To identify patient populations who benefit from SRS for tremor management.

Main Methods:

  • Radiosurgical thalamotomy targeting the VIM nucleus.
  • Delivery of a central dose of 130-140 Gy.
  • Requires precise target selection by experienced neurosurgeons.

Main Results:

  • Over 90% of patients experience tremor improvement and enhanced quality of life.
  • Low rates of adverse radiation effects (4%).
  • Effective for tremor-predominant Parkinson's disease and bilateral tremor (staged procedures).

Conclusions:

  • SRS is an effective and safe alternative for patients with intractable tremor, especially those not candidates for invasive surgery.
  • Radiosurgical thalamotomy provides significant tremor relief and improves quality of life.
  • SRS is a valuable tool in the management of movement disorders like tremor.
