First Report of Clinical Outcomes Resulting from Use of Directional Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease and Essential Tremor
Objective: To evaluate clinical motor outcomes, the patient´s subjectively perceived benefit and the frequency of the use of directional lead stimulation in subjects with Essential tremor…Disparities in Access to DBS Surgery Based on Demographics of Patients with PD Admitted for DBS Surgery in the United States from 2003 to 2013
Objective: To better understand current demographics of DBS use and identify non-medical barriers to its utilization. Background: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) has seen increasingly more sophisticated…Eight contacts with multiple-source current steering in pallidal deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease: a non-randomized, single center, open-lavel study
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) using eight contacts electrodes with multiple-source current steering for motor improvement in patients with…Novel TUBB4A variants in idiopathic dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate TUBB4A variants in patients with idiopathic dystonia. Background: Mutations in TUBB4A, which encodes beta-tubulin 4A, were…Spanish Primary Familial Brain Calcification caused by SLC20A2 mutation
Objective: To describe clinical and radiological features of a Spanish family with Primary Familial Brain Calcification (PFBC) and genetic results of the index case. Background:…Hereditary spastic paraplegia type 31: a novel splice site donor mutation and intra-familial phenotypic variability
Objective: The aim of this study is to reveal molecular pathogenicity and genotype-phenotype correlations in Spastic Paraplegia type 31 (SPG31). Background: Mutations in REEP1 have…Information transfer between subthalamic area and forearm muscles during tonic muscle activity in Parkinson’s patients
Objective: We compare information transfer between forearm muscles and two subthalamic regions, namely the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the zona incerta (ZI), during an isometric…Changes in saccade performance with oculomotor task repetition in neurological disorders
Objective: To investigate short-term changes in saccade performance associated with repeated performance of oculomotor tasks in various neurological disorders and to elucidate the underlying neural…“Essential tremor” as a presenting symptom of neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID).
Objective: To describe a patient with late onset, sporadic NIID who had a tremor as his first complaint. Background: NIID is a rare, slowly progressive…Diagnostic utility of regional [18F]AV-1451 tau-PET measurements in PSP
Objective: To determine the diagnostic utility of regional subcortical [18F]AV-1451 tau-PET measurements to differentiate progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from age-matched controls and Alzheimer’s dementia patients.…
