Esophageal involvement in multiple system atrophy
Objective: To determine the prevalence of esophageal involvement and its impact on clinical manifestations in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: Secondary motor disorders…Deep brain stimulation of the dentate nucleus improves ataxia and modulates cortical excitability
Objective: To assess tremor and ataxia changes by dentate nucleus deep brain stimulation and evaluate how DBS could modulate cortical excitability seen in cerebellar stroke.…Evaluation of parkinsonism and striatal dopamine transporter loss in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6
Objective: To study whether spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) patients have parkinsonism and striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) loss compared to gender- and age-matched healthy controls.…Modelling spinocerebellar ataxia 15 with iPS cell derived neurons
Objective: Here we set out to study the cellular pathology of ITPR1-deletions underlying SCA15 in a human model of iPSC-derived cortical neurons. Background: Spinocerebellar Ataxia…Sub-acute rapidly progressive cerebellar ataxia – A case of JC virus associated granule cell neuronopathy (GCN)
Objective: To describe a case of JC virus associated GCN. Background: JC virus associated CNS disease most commonly presents as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. A less…Impaired eye voice coordination in spinocerebellar degeneration while reading aloud
Objective: In order to elucidate the cause of the impaired reading performance. Background: Deficit in reading performance in patients with spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) has been…Natural history of saccadic abnormalities in spinocerebellar ataxia 2: Implications to designing future clinical trials
Objective: The present study was aimed to assess the progression of saccade involvement in SCA2 patients, identify its main determinants and evaluate its usefulness as…Relationship between sensory augmentation and exercise routine in the improvement in balance and gait in a patient with lithium-induced ataxia
Objective: This case report describes the use of sensory augmentation and an exercise routine to improve balance and gait in a patient with lithium-induced ataxia.…Prodromal criteria of spinocerebellar type 2: Lessons for physiopathology, natural history and therapeutical trials
Objective: To identify criteria defining the prodromal stage of spinocerebellar ataxia 2 (SCA2). Background: The prodromal stage of spinocerebellar ataxias has not been systematically studied…The aetiology of idiopathic late onset cerebellar ataxia
Objective: Assess the prevalence and compare clinical features of SAOA, MSA and sporadic ataxia patients with a genetic diagnosis in ILOCA patients. Background: Cerebellar ataxias…
