Ocular Motor Abnormalities in Functional Neurological Disorder: A Video‐Oculography Study

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Functional neurological disorders (FND) can include various sensory, motor or cognitive symptoms. Eye movement recordings, measured through video‐oculography, could serve as biomarkers for characterizing these dysfunctions in FND.

Challenging the Clostridium botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) with a selection of microorganisms by culture methods and extended storage of used vials to assess the loss of sterility [PDF]

, 2015
In 2002, botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for cosmetic use. However, there may be procedural differences between the ways in which a clinician handles, applies and stores the product compared to ...

A Cell Line for Detection of Botulinum Neurotoxin Type B [PDF]

, 2017
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) type A and type B are commonly used as biopharmaceutics for neurological diseases, uniquely allowing months-long paralysis of target muscles.

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.

Botulinum neurotoxin type C protease induces apoptosis in differentiated human neuroblastoma cells [PDF]

, 2016
Neuroblastomas constitute a major cause of cancer-related deaths in young children. In recent years, a number of translation-inhibiting enzymes have been evaluated for killing neuroblastoma cells. Here we investigated the potential vulnerability of human

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.

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.

Zebrafish Sensitivity to Botulinum Neurotoxins [PDF]

Toxins, 2016
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) are the most potent known toxins. The mouse LD50 assay is the gold standard for testing BoNT potency, but is not sensitive enough to detect the extremely low levels of neurotoxin that may be present in the serum of sensitive animal species that are showing the effects of BoNT toxicity, such as channel catfish affected by ...

Functional Connectivity to the Cerebellum and Resting‐State Networks Predict Earlier Improvement of Dystonia Following Globus Pallidus Internus‐Deep Brain Stimulation (GPi‐DBS)

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Early improvement of dystonia after globus pallidus internus‐deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is associated with stimulation of the globus pallidus externus‐subthalamic nucleus (GPe‐STN) fibers and the lenticular fasciculus. Functional connectivity to the cerebellar cortex and the limbic and default mode networks predict early improvement of symptoms ...

Single Application of A2 NTX, a Botulinum Toxin A2 Subunit, Prevents Chronic Pain Over Long Periods in Both Diabetic and Spinal Cord Injury–Induced Neuropathic Pain Models

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
Botulinum toxin type A is a unique candidate for inhibition of pain transmission. In the present study we attempted to see the beneficial actions of A2 neurotoxin (NTX), an active subunit of botulinum toxin type A.
