Baumgartner, G, Gawel, M J, Kaeser, H E, Pallis, C A, Rose, F C, Schaumburg, H H, ...
An analysis is presented of 220 cases of possible neurotoxic reactions to halogenated hydroxyquinolines reported from outside Japan. In 80 cases insufficient information was available for adequate...
Visual and auditory evoked responses in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Gawel, M J, Das, P, Vincent, S, Rose, F C
Visual evoked responses were obtained in 47 Parkinsonian patients and 26 age-matched controls. The stimulation to binocular and uniocular latency of the major positive peak was longer in the...
