The Diverse Neuromuscular Spectrum of VPS13A Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective VPS13A disease (chorea‐acanthocytosis) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic variants in VPS13A, typically presenting with hyperkinetic movement disorders, while neuromuscular signs are often mild. The aim of the project was to investigate the frequency and severity of neuromuscular impairment in VPS13A disease ...

A Case of Successful Extraction of a Micra Leadless Pacemaker Implanted Two Years Prior Using the Axis-Guided Dual Snare Technique

Case Reports in Cardiology
A 78-year-old man underwent Micra AV implantation due to complete atrioventricular block. He developed diffuse left ventricular systolic dysfunction and dyssynchrony, 2 years later, suggesting pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. Given the critical need for an

Quantitative Assessment of Upper Limb Ataxia Using a Virtual Reality‐Based Evaluation System

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebellar ataxia impairs coordination and balance, reducing quality of life. Conventional clinical scales, including the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) and the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS), are widely used to assess ataxia but are limited by subjectivity and inter‐rater variability ...

Perceptions about asymptomatic hyperuricemia and views about urate‐lowering therapy in people with asymptomatic hyperuricemia

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background/Aims Asymptomatic hyperuricemia is a precursor of gout and is also associated with cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to understand perceptions about asymptomatic hyperuricemia and views about urate‐lowering therapy in people with asymptomatic hyperuricemia.

Response to allopurinol and febuxostat according to the fractional excretion of urate in men with gout

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and pretreatment urate levels have been reported to influence the urate‐lowering response to allopurinol. We investigated whether the fractional excretion of urate (FEUA) also modulates this response and relates to oxypurinol concentrations. We further evaluated its potential influence

Investigating the role of electroanatomical mapping in single‐shot pulsed field catheter ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia
Introduction Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a form of nonthermal energy that has been recently introduced for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). A multi‐electrode pentaspline catheter for delivery of PFA guided by fluoroscopy has become widely available for
