Parkinson Disease

Parkinson's disease is a form of neurological disorder characterized by gradual loss of those neurological functions that governs body movement. The disease is therefore also referred to as movement disorder. In the early stages of the disease, signs and symptoms are pretty less evident. However, as the disease[…] [symptoma.com]

Multiple Injuries

BACKGROUND: Although early fracture fixation is expedient in patients with multiple injuries, early total care (ETC) may be associated with posttraumatic systemic complications.
