Antipruritic Effects of Botulinum Neurotoxins [PDF]

Toxins, 2018
This review explores current evidence to demonstrate that botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) exert antipruritic effects. Both experimental and clinical conditions in which botulinum neurotoxins have been applied for pruritus relief will be presented and significant findings will be highlighted.

The Spectrum of Abnormal Tongue Movements: Review of Phenomenology, Etiology, and Differential Diagnosis

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.

DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in Adults with Cervical Dystonia: Clinical Insights from a Real‐World Early Experience Program

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background DaxibotulinumtoxinA for injection (DAXI), a novel botulinum toxin (BoNT) formulated with a custom‐engineered peptide, was recently approved for treating cervical dystonia (CD). DAXI demonstrated a long duration of symptom relief in Phase 3 trials. Objective To report findings from PrevU, an early experience, real‐world observational

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Genomic Deletion of the Beta-1, 4 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1 Gene in Murine P19 Embryonal Carcinoma Cells Results in Low Sensitivity to Botulinum Neurotoxin Type C.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Botulinum neurotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum cause flaccid paralysis by inhibiting neurotransmitter release at peripheral nerve terminals. Previously, we found that neurons derived from the murine P19 embryonal carcinoma cell line exhibited ...

Applications, impacts and consequences of botulinum toxin usage in medicine

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
Introduction Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin produced by the gram-positive bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin has found great interest in the field of aesthetic medicine, but it has many other applications in other areas of medicine.

Safety and Pharmacokinetics of a Four Monoclonal Antibody Combination Against Botulinum C and D Neurotoxins. [PDF]

, 2019
Botulism is caused by botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), the most poisonous substance known. BoNTs are also classified as Tier 1 biothreat agents due to their high potency and lethality.

Resolution of Levodopa/Dopa‐Decarboxylase Inhibitor—Associated Microscopic Colitis with Subcutaneous Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa: A Case Series and Review of the Literature

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Microscopic colitis (MC) typically presents with chronic, non‐bloody watery diarrhea. Diagnosis requires endoscopy with colonic mucosal biopsies. The etiology is multifactorial, with several medications implicated, although only a few cases have been attributed to oral levodopa/dopa‐decarboxylase inhibitor (LDDCI) therapy.

Independent evolution of neurotoxin and flagellar genetic loci in proteolytic Clostridium botulinum

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background Proteolytic Clostridium botulinum is the causative agent of botulism, a severe neuroparalytic illness. Given the severity of botulism, surprisingly little is known of the population structure, biology, phylogeny or evolution of C.
