Parkinson's Disease: Overview

1.6K
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

1.5K
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Lysosomal Hydrolases01:22

Lysosomal Hydrolases

4.4K
Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

905
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

718
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Bone reconstruction
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Tibial gap nonunion presents significant surgical challenges with unpredictable outcomes.
  • Existing treatments for tibial nonunion have limitations.
  • Ipsilateral fibular transposition is explored for reconstructing major tibial defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of the Huntington procedure (ipsilateral fibular transposition) for treating gap nonunion of the tibia.
  • To assess the efficacy and simplicity of this one-staged procedure for major tibial defects.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study involving 4 patients with tibial gap nonunion.
  • Ipsilateral fibula was transferred as a vascularized pedicle graft to the tibia in a single stage.
  • Post-operative follow-up included radiographic assessment of union and hypertrophy.

Main Results:

  • All four patients achieved union of the transposed fibula.
  • Mean follow-up was 1.2 years, with union occurring at a mean of 7.5 months.
  • Radiographic evidence of fibular tibialization was observed in all cases, with successful progression to full weight-bearing.

Conclusions:

  • The Huntington procedure is a straightforward technique for large tibial defects, avoiding the need for microsurgery or implants.
  • Vascularized fibular grafts demonstrate faster union compared to conventional grafts.
  • This method is a viable option for selected cases of major tibial defects.
