Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), the procedure of placing stimulating electrodes into targeted brain structures, was first introduced in 1987 (Benabid et al. 1991; Benabid et al. 1987). There are several theories explaining the efficacy of DBS, (Chakrabarti et al. 2014; Frost et al. 2009; Halpern et al. 2007; Pereira et al. 2007), but ample evidence exists on the safety and efficacy of DBS in Parkinson’s Disease (PD), leading to expanded indications for DBS including benign tremors, dystonia,…

Once learning the basics about Cerebral Palsy (CP), I chose to dig deeper into the more modern diagnostic tools and treatments. As an aspiring Audiologist, I looked into tools I would one day use if I were on a case with an individual with CP and found an article about the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) tool that is being used to determine hearing loss and likelihood of other related disabilities in tandem with CP. The study done showed significance in correlation with most other causes of CP…

The healthcare industry’s perennial reliance on pharmaceuticals, from giants like Roche or Pfizer, while bolstering the quality of life for well-developed nations, often overshadows upcoming advances or developments in therapeutic treatment.
