Deep brain stimulation and frameless stereotactic radiosurgery in the treatment of bilateral parkinsonian tremor: target selection and case report of two patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The best care and management of patients in persistent vegetative state (PVS) has been the subject of sustained moral and legal debate for a number of years. However, the views of specialist doctors in Belgium involved in the care for patients in PVS are largely unknown. METHODS:A postal questionnaire was s...
