Driving Cerebellar Theta Oscillations Interferes With Voluntary Neck Movements in Cervical Dystonia

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cervical dystonia (CD) is a movement disorder with a complex pathophysiology, including cerebellar abnormalities. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), a noninvasive neuromodulation technique capable of entraining brain oscillations, can transiently modulate neuronal activity and enhance resonant rhythms.

“What Medical Management Should Be First Line for Bladder Storage Symptoms in NLUTD”—Pro Botox

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) severely impairs patient quality of life (QoL). While oral medications are often first‐line treatments, their high failure rates and side effects limit their effectiveness. Thus, we argue for the use of intravesical botulinum toxin A (BoNT‐A) injections as a first‐line alternative ...

How Can We Personalize the Delivery of Onabotulinumtoxin‐A for Patients With Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction?

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) can produce bothersome urinary symptoms, impact quality of life, and in some cases, lead to deterioration of upper urinary tract function. Intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxin‐A (BoNT‐A) is approved for NLUTD in patients who have an inadequate response to or ...

Analysis of a unique Clostridium botulinum strain from the Southern hemisphere producing a novel type E botulinum neurotoxin subtype

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Clostridium botulinum strains that produce botulinum neurotoxin type E (BoNT/E) are most commonly isolated from botulism cases, marine environments, and animals in regions of high latitude in the Northern hemisphere. A strain of C.

Urodynamic Voiding Patterns in Multiple Sclerosis

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims This study aimed to describe urodynamic voiding patterns in patients with MS (PwMS) using standardized assessments, and to compare the performance of the available nomograms and indices for obstruction and bladder contractility. Methods PwMS and lower urinary tract symptoms underwent cystometry and pressure flow studies.

Endoscopic small bowel therapies for type 2 diabetes

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Type 2 diabetes is a global epidemic despite current medical treatments. Many patients are not responsive to medications, and patients with obesity are hesitant about bariatric surgery. Studies investigating the metabolic effects of Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass have increasingly demonstrated that the duodenum plays a key role in the ...
