Movement disorders in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); the effect of pulmonary disease to brain
Objective: To find out phenotypes of movement disorders related to COPD, and also associated factors. Background: Movement disorders in systemic diseases exactly are common in…Electrophysiological characteristics of task-specific and position-specific tremor: A variant of dystonic tremor?
Objective: To explore the role of the bedside electrophysiological tests and the characteristics of tremor in task-specific and position-specific tremor. Background: Task-specific and position-specific tremors…The utility of electrophysiological tests in the differentiation of upper limb tremor in young-onset patients
Objective: To explore the diagnostic utility of neurophysiologic tests in young-onset patients who present primarily with upper limb action tremor. Background: In young-onset patients, isolated…Tremor in motor neuron disease may be central rather than peripheral in origin
Objective: To investigate the pathophysiology of action tremor in motor neuron disease (MND). Background: MND refers to a spectrum of degenerative diseases affecting motor neurons.…The nature of postural tremor in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify dopaminergic mechanisms underlying postural tremor in Parkinson's disease. Background: Parkinson’s tremor classically occurs at rest, but many patients also have a postural…Assessing Parkinson’s disease motor symptoms using supervised learning algorithms
Objective: Implantable brain stimulators are now an established method of treating Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Determination of optimal neural stimulation parameters is complex and clinically demanding. The goal of…Extensive bilateral basal ganglia and cerebellar calcification in Fahr’s syndrome after thyroidectomy
Objective: To describe a patient with bilateral cerebral and cerebellar calcification secondary to a hypoparathyroidsm. Background: Fahr's Syndrome (FS) is a rare disorder and may…
