On Botulinum Neurotoxin Variability

mBio, 2015
The rapidly growing number of botulinum neurotoxin sequences poses the problem of the possible evolutionary significance of the variability of these superpotent neurotoxins for toxin-producing Clostridium species. To progress in the understanding of this

Thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Dystonic Head Tremor: A Long‐Term Study of 18 Patients

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dystonic head tremor is a particular manifestation of dystonia, which is difficult to treat. Although deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus has been established as a treatment for different phenotypes of dystonia, its role in dystonic tremor has been debated.

Botulinum Toxin Efficacy in Upper Limb Tremor: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Essential tremor (ET) and dystonic tremor syndrome (DTS) can be treated using botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections. Previous reviews lacked an assessment of the certainty of evidence and focused solely on clinician‐reported outcomes. Additionally, studies have demonstrated interindividual variability in BoNT efficacy. Objective The aim
