The Role of Tau Protein in Diseases
Published on: 9th April, 2018
OCLC Number/Unique Identifier: 7794366278
Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) and tau protein deposits in the human brain are the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Tau is a class of proteins that are abundant in nerve cells and perform the function of stabilizing microtubules. However, in certain pathological situations, Tau proteins become defective and fail to adequately stabilize microtubules, which can result in the generation of abnormal masses that are toxic to neurons. This process occurs in a number of neurological disorders collectively known as Tauopathies. Tau protein is the major factor of the intracellular filamentous deposits that relate to a number of neurodegenerative diseases which includes the progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), Pick’s disease, and Parkinsonism. The identification of mutations in Tau established that dysfunction or misregulation of tau protein is sufficient to cause dementia and neurodegeneration. In this review article, we discussed the etiology of the tau formation and role in AD and subsequently therapeutic approach for disassembling and Tau inhibition.
PISA Syndrome-Orthopedic manifestation of a neurological disease?
Published on: 26th May, 2020
OCLC Number/Unique Identifier: 8603897033
Pleurothotonus, commonly known as Pisa Syndrome (PS), is a rare neurological disorder characterized by lateral bending of the trunk with a tendency to lean to one side. This is typically mobile and resolves in supine position. It often presents as an incapacitating symptom of underlying neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s disease, alzheimer’s disease, multisystem atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, progressive supranuclear palsy and even subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. It is known to be associated with neuroleptics, dopaminergic agents, valproic acid and lithium. PS is also seen in neurosurgical disorders like subdural hematoma, normotensive hydrocephalus, or as a late complication of pallidotomy in patients with PD. It can present either as an acute emergency or can develop gradually over time.PS tend to happen in coronal plane and can be controlled and managed if diagnosed in early stage. However, a chronic form known as “camptocormia” occurs often in a combined fashion with anteroposterior flexion which can improve to some extent, remain stable or even get worse. Pathophysiologic mechanism is not completely understood. This review will discuss all the updated literatures published in PS in terms of prevalence, pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, and treatment modalities.
A case report of Multi System Atrophy (MSA) with cross over features of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
Published on: 13th September, 2021

We describe an interesting case of Multi System Atrophy who had cross over features of progressive supranuclear palsy along with classical clinical findings which led to the diagnosis.
Social Implementation and Measurement Accuracy Verification of Non-contact Biological Monitors
Published on: 25th March, 2024
In this research, for the purpose of social implementation, we conducted a near-miss demonstration experiment using a car driving in the city and a drive-simulator. Next, we conducted a demonstration experiment to evaluate the reliability of biometric information measured on patients in a medical facility's recuperation ward and residents of a special nursing home. NBC-1100 emits radar waves from a distance of up to 3 meters from an object and uses the reflected waves to measure biological information such as pulse waves and breathing waves. The multi-element pyroelectric effect was used to measure body temperature by detecting infrared radiation emitted from distant objects. This device is unique in that it can measure biological information without being restrained while wearing clothes. In the demonstration test, simultaneous measurements were conducted on nine healthy men aged 45 to 65 using a pharmaceutically approved product (μBP-mp) and a prototype non-contact biological monitor (NBC-1100 manufactured by K&S Co., Ltd.). The demonstration experiments at medical institutions and nursing care facilities were conducted with the consent of residents and their families and were conducted on 30 men and women between the ages of 70 and 94 who were undergoing treatment or in need of care. The tests were conducted on residents with chronic diseases such as dilated gastrostomies, symptomatic epilepsy, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy. The evaluation method was simultaneous measurement using a master meter (μBP-mp) and a test meter (NBC-1100).
