环锯术
并不是每种病都要依靠吃药来觉得问题,也不是每种病都需要借助各种填充了高级塑料、电子芯片的高科技手段来医治。相对于这些看上去比较文明,又或者说有些常规的医治手段来说,历史上存在着各种千奇百怪,甚至是有点残忍的医治手段,而其中有一些医治方法的功效,至今也没有高科技医疗器具可以代替!

医疗手段环锯术并不是每种病都要依靠吃药来觉得问题,也不是每种病都需要借助各种填充了高级塑料、电子芯片的高科技手段来医治。相对于这些看上去比较文明,又或者说有些常规的医治手段来说,历史上存在着各种千奇百怪,甚至是有点残忍的医治手段,而其中有一些医治方法的功效,至今也没有高科技医疗器具可以代替! 冰锥敲击大脑治疗精神病它是一种治疗忧郁症和精神分裂症等精神疾病的手术。前脑叶白质切除术中要把连接前脑叶和脑的其它部分的神经束割断。这种手术很少实施,因为它有可能产生很严重的副作用,比如癫痫、失禁以及令人不快的性格改变。现在这种手术已经广泛地被心理疗法和化学疗法所取代。

发作性睡病症状明显诊断容易When a small Italian study reported that lithium carbonate had the potential to slow the progress of ALS, hundreds of users of our site started taking the drug under the supervision of their physicians. Although we were unable to replicate the promising findings, we hope that this study demonstrates the power of sharing data to advance science and medicine.
发作性睡病症状明显诊断容易When a drug is approved by the FDA, it is for a specific purpose or "indication". However, we noticed that many of our users said they had been prescribed drugs for purposes not included in the original approval, known as "off-label" usage. In this award-winning study, we sought to discover the experiences of patients taking two widely-used treatments for off-label purposes.
The Multiple Sclerosis Treatment Adherence Questionnaire (MS-TAQ) Journal of Medical Internet ResearchFor MS patients, taking their disease-modifying treatments on time can make the difference in terms of relapses, progression, and long-term function. Using the voice of our patients we constructed a scale that measures all the barriers that get in the way of our patients being adherent to their drugs, in the hope of improving their outcomes.
发作性睡病症状明显诊断容易For this project we collaborated with the University of Oxford. In a survey of our ALS patients, we found that patients with an arm-onset were most likely to get the condition first in their "dominant" hand (i.e. right handers were more likely to get it in their right hand first); the same was not true for those with leg-onset ALS. This finding is consistent with the idea of a link between exercise and ALS.
