Diagnosing Prodromal Synucleinopathies – What is the Role of Cardiac MIBG Scintigraphy?
Objective: We aimed to characterize cardiac MIBG uptake patterns in patients with an initial diagnosis of PAF (iPAF) and assess their role as a prognostic…Point-of-Care Neuromuscular Ultrasound With Fractal Biomarkers for Stratification of Neuropathic and Myogenic Drivers of Motor Decline
Objective: We investigated whether a structured ultrasound protocol integrating fascicular morphometry, fractal image analysis, and AI-assisted classification can stratify neuropathic versus myogenic contributors to motor…Facial Synkinesis: Can It Have a Central Origin?
Objective: To describe a case of left facial synkinesis in a patient with a right middle cerebral artery stroke. Background: Facial synkinesis has been classically…Clinical, Neurophysiological, and Biological Insights into Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesias
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical, neurophysiological and biological features of Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients with L-Dopa-induced dyskinesias (LIDs). Background:…Synaptic density and α-synuclein oligomers in skin biopsies: differences between idiopathic and GBA-linked Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare α-synuclein oligomers and synaptic density (SD) in skin biopsies from PD and GBA-PD. Background: Previous research [1] reported α-synuclein oligomers within synaptic terminals of autonomic fibers in…A case of idiopathic lower limb dystonia treated with combined use of botulinum toxin type A and phenol nerve block
Objective: Here we report a case of focal LLD successfully treated with combined botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNTA) and Nerve block (NB). Background: Among focal dystonias,…Ultrasound-guided selective diagnostic nerve block in patients with elbow spasticity: a retrospective pilot study.
Objective: To evaluate efficacy and patients’ perception of the ultrasound-guided selective diagnostic nerve block (DNB) of the motor branch for brachialis muscle compared with the…Fundamental changes in Nerve Conduction Velocity and hyperpolarization latency of action potential of Sciatic nerve at the pre-motor phase in a chronic PD in vivo model: a neurotool for Parkinson’s disease diagnosis
Objective: To evaluate the changes in NCV and hyperpolarization latency of action potential of Sciatic nerve at the pre-motor phase in MPTP induced chronic PD…Comparison of Disease Progression in Patients with Brain-first versus Body-first Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical progression between brain-first and body-first PD groups using cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD). Background: Brain-first and body-first Parkinson’s…Limb myorhythmia treated with chemodenervation: A case report
Objective: To describe the case of a patient with limb myorhythmia successfully treated with bolutinum toxin injections. Background: Myorhythmia is a rare condition characterized by…
