A comparative study on the alterations in the cortical excitability and central motor conduction time in spinocerebellar ataxias 1, 2, 3 and 12
Objective: This study evaluates and compares the RMT and CMCT in patients with genetically proven SCA1, SCA2, SCA3 and SCA12 using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).…MicroRNAs Unveil Metabolic Imbalance in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type-2
Objective: To correlate differentially expressed non-coding microRNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with SCA2 pathogenesis. Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia aype-2 (SCA2), the most common SCA…Transcriptional profiling of peripheral blood monocytes from child Friedreich’s ataxia patient: New molecules and patterns of gene expression
Objective: To explore peripheral biomarkers related to Friedreich's ataxia and identification of pathophysiological insights of complex phenotype Background: Friedreich's ataxia(FRDA) causes nervous system damage and…Pathophysiologic insights into ataxia and spasticity through structural imaging of a spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) cohort
Objective: Correlate clinical measures of ataxia and spasticity in a SCA7 cohort with the pattern and severity of atrophy of grey matter (GM) and white…A comparison of relative displacement by double integration with root mean square in the quantitative evaluation of gait ataxia by triaxial accelerometers
Objective: An appropriate biomarker for spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) is needed. Background: Previously we reported that the average amplitude of medial-lateral of straight gait gained by…Rapidly progressive ataxia caused by an undetermined paraneoplastic disorder: A case report
Objective: To report the case of a 69-year-old woman with rapidly progressive ataxia. Background: Various cases exist in the literature of rapidly progressive ataxia secondary…Muscle Ultrasound Comparison Between Early And Intermediate Onset Friedreich’s Ataxia
Objective: Background: Early-onset Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA) concerns a classic pediatric phenotype (p-FA, starting before 18 years of age), characterized by relentlessly progressive ataxia and (cardio)myopathy.…Prof. Wadia’s contributions to neurology and SCA2
Objective: To present a review of the seminal contributions of Professor Wadia to neurology, in particular the first description of SCA2. Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia type…Focused neuromodulation by short pulse width improves gait ataxia in thalamic DBS
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of selective neuromodulation to overcome stimulation-induced gait ataxia in patients with essential tremor (ET) and thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS).…Comparison of the effect of thalamic DBS/coagulation on tremor and thalamic neuronal activity in spinocerebellar ataxia and essential tremor
Objective: To investigate the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) or lesions of the ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) of the thalamus for spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)…
