Effectiveness of bilateral pallidal deep brain stimulation in a patient with dystonia associated to neurodegenerative ataxia: Follow-up to 18 months
Objective: CASE REPORT Background: The dystonia like others movement disorder may be included in neurodegenerative ataxia syndrome, in addition to cerebellar dysfunction. The pallidal stimulation…Serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor as an indication of disease state in parkinsonism and RBD
Objective: Evaluation of peripheral concentrations of brain-derived neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in patients with Parkinsonian disorders and correlation with clinical measurements of disease progression to elucidate…Quantitative assessment of advanced therapies in Parkinson’s disease using the Parkinson kinetigraph (PKG)
Objective: Our aim was to establish whether objective measurements using the Parkinson's Kinetigraph can detect differences between patients undergoing different advanced therapy with either deep…The effect of uni- and bilateral thalamic deep brain stimulation on speech in patients with essential tremor: Acoustics and intelligibility
Objective: In this study, we investigate the effect of VIM-DBS on speech in ET patients. We compare how uni- vs. bilateral DBS contributes to the…Influence of different spike sorting algorithms on the detection of single unit spiking activity in the subthalamic nucleus of patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the most suitable spike sorting algorithm for intraoperatively recorded extracellular currents in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).…Temporal dynamics of pallidal low-frequency oscillations in dystonia
Objective: To assess the occurrence and volatility of 4-12 Hz oscillations in local field potentials (LFPs) recorded in the internal globus pallidus (GPi) of dystonia…Beyond 30 years of Parkinson’s disease: A comprehensive characterization of long-surviving patients
Objective: To analyze the features of very late stage Parkinson's disease (PD) in a selected group of patients treated with bilateral subthalamic nucleus DBS (STN-DBS),…Objectivisation of postural disorders in patients with Parkinson’s disease during the screening stage for DBS
Objective: Objectivisation of degree of postural disorders in PD patients during the screening stage for DBS. Background: The neurosurgical treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) using…
