My uncle was about to take his meds and had a fit and he stood there shaking like a leaf pills going all over the bathroom. He thought it was pretty funny afterwards.

In HS I saw someone have an epileptic seizure. A black dude on our football team had a family member with epilepsy and he put a pen between their teeth so they wouldn't swallow their tongue.

[Berzerker]

Sustained reductions in convulsive and total seizures were observed up to 156 weeks, with 85% of patients/caregivers reporting an improvement in overall condition. This OLE demonstrates the sustained long-term benefits of Epidiolex/Epidyolex, the regulated and highly purified formulation of plant-based CBD, for patients with DS, a critical issue for CBD in joining our ASM armamentarium.

not sure what add-on CBD is but it can help with Dravet's syndrome, a convulsive disorder that can be fatal. I dont think that 85% includes patients who dropped out, lack of benefit was one of the reasons

if you crumple a piece of paper it appears 3 dimensional. fold it flat and it appears in 2... So maybe something about the folds in Parkinson's is different enough for them to describe it that way.

[Berzerker]

I read lots of articles, I dont link or keep track of them all. If thats a problem for you, oh well

[Dauphin]

Why don't you share the article. I would like to know if i) you made unsubstantiated statements based on what you thought you read, or ii) you sourced material that is easily proven wrong.

Based on past form, either or both may be true in this case.

[Berzerker]

I dont know if it's wrong, I'm just reporting what it said.

[Berzerker]

the article made that distinction, is that simple enough?

[Uncle Sparky]

What about Fred Flintstone's car? It looks quite tree like?

[N35t0r]

the article used the term 3 dimensional to describe the difference

In the same way that, for example, a car and a tree are different shapes, even though they're both three-dimensional. I don't really know how to put it simpler than this.

[Dauphin]

Are you saying the article you cite but didn't cite was wrong?

[Berzerker]

how is it a different shape?

then the distinction would be irrelevant... and yet thats how the article described the difference between normal proteins and misfolded ones.

That's what you understood from it.

A misfolded protein is also three-dimensional. It's just a different shape. Proteins are made of hundreds to thousands of molecules, it is impossible for them to be two-dimensional.
