Actigraphy monitoring of symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease
2013, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :The purpose of this study, therefore, was to examine whether daily physical activity among independently living adults' physical activity would be associated with clinically rated symptoms over time in patients with PD. On the basis of our prior work [5,8–11], we hypothesized that variation in actigraphic recordings of patients' kinematics of movement disorder symptoms during awake-time would be correlated with PD symptoms assessed by UPDRS over time. We used a longitudinal design in which study participants were contacted and assessed with the planned study outcome measures every 4th month over a period of 3 years.
Anti-inflammatory activity of traditional chinese medicinal herbs
2011, Journal of Traditional and Complementary MedicineCitation Excerpt :However, modern herbs, developed to replace the standard Chinese preparations, come in two popular forms, namely, extract powders (or granules) and smooth (Wang et al., 2009). Herbs used in TCM and their active components have been demonstrated in many animal or cell culture models to inhibit inflammatory responses in different organs including the lung, esophagus, cerebrum, colon, skin, prostate, mammary glands, liver, pancreas, and lung (Pan et al., 2011; Ichikawa et al., 2003; Yarosh et al., 2006). Table 1 summarizes the various natural products derived from TCM herbs, which have been shown to safely suppress proinflammatory signaling pathways and to control inflammation-associated disease.
