C/N/157. Pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease and associated "placebo effect" and drug treatment

The paper looks at the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) and the development of an effective drug for its treatment. The "placebo effect" in patients with PD is examined when embarking on clinical drug trials. PD disorder is defined describing the role of dopamine in muscles and movement capability.

S/H/106. 'Modern medicine is either state medicine or corporate medicine'. Assess the validity of this assertion citing examples from British and American history

The paper looks at the US and UK systems of medical care from a historical perspective comparing and contrasting the development of state and corporate medicine in both countries.

S/N/175. Discuss the impact of CT and MRI on radiotherapy treatment

The paper examines the role of tumour delineation for successful radiotherapy analysing 3Dimensional imaging modalities, i.e. CT and MRI, and discussing their advantages and disadvantages.

C/N/150. Evidence-based Therapeutic Approaches in Dementia Care and Practice

The paper considers the evidence base for various forms of treatment that are currently suggested for dementia placing each of them in context and critically analyzing the related landmark papers. The main problems in trying to assess the effects of psychosocial interventions are discussed.

S/N/165. Effectiveness of Temporal Distance Gait parameters as an Outcome Measures in the Treatment of Cerebral Palsy Children

The paper examines therapeutic interventions into the treatment of cerebral palsy (CP) in children with movement deviation and abnormal gait patterns. An overview of CP is presented reviewing research into the treatment of the disorder. The effectiveness of using temporal distance gait parameters as an outcome measure is studied.

S/N/166. Effects of Strength training in osteoarthritis of the knee

The paper examines the osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee describing the causes and symptoms of the condition, offering a physiological rationale for muscle strengthening exercises, discussing the muscle strength gain and pain reduction resulting from the exercises, and concluding that quadriceps weakness is a key problem in knee OA patients.

S/N/167. Comparison of Strength Regimes after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

The paper examines the treatment for a knee joint injury, i.e. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury, presenting an overview of the knee anatomy, describing the mechanism of the injury, the clinical symptoms of ACL, the surgical procedure of ACL reconstruction, the practice of physiotherapy rehabilitation, etc.

S/N/168. Biomechanical analysis of stepping in cerebral palsy

The paper examines the biochemical and clinical features of Cerebral palsy (CP) focusing on the gait impairment in CP children. Gait patterns are identified and described in detail.

S/N/169. Comparison of Strength Regimes after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

The paper examines the anterior Cruciate Ligament injury of the knee joint describing its anatomy, epidemiology, clinical symptoms, treatment, physiotherapy rehabilitation, etc.

S/N/170. Post-op physiotherapy management of total hip arthroplasty

The paper examines the surgical replacement of the hip known as total hip arthroplasty (THA) offering a brief overview of its epidemiology, anatomy, etc., and focusing on the post-op physiotherapy management

S/N/171. Biomechanical analysis of stepping in cerebral palsy children

The paper examines the clinical features of Cerebral palsy (CP) describing the damage to the central nervous system caused by CP and reviewing research into biomechanical analysis of gait impairments in CP children
