Kinematic Features of Voluntary and Involuntary Head Movements in Cervical Dystonia

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cervical dystonia (CD) has a varied motor presentation, combining abnormal postures with complex involuntary head movements. Classification of these motor patterns remains imprecise, relying on descriptive terminology without robust definitions. Objectives To provide a kinematically‐grounded description of the motor phenomenology of

NKX2‐1 Downstream Regulatory Structural Variants Explain a Substantial Proportion of Molecular Diagnoses in Patients With Benign Hereditary Chorea

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background NKX2‐1–related disorders (NKX2‐1‐RDs) classically present with a triad of neurological, endocrine, and pulmonary manifestations, including benign hereditary chorea. However, in a fraction of patients, NKX2‐1 coding variants are not detected, and variants outside the NKX2‐1 locus have been reported.

Fifteen‐Year Outcomes of Bilateral Pallidal Stimulation in Isolated Generalized Dystonia: Characterization of Therapeutic Response and Emergence of Parkinsonism

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bilateral pallidal deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is effective for dystonia. Long‐term evolution of therapeutic benefit and emergence of parkinsonism have not been systematically characterized. Objectives To assess 15‐year dystonia outcomes and characterize parkinsonism after bilateral GPi‐DBS.

Safety and Efficacy of 10 kHz Spinal Cord Stimulation for the Treatment of Refractory Chronic Migraine: A Prospective Long‐Term Open‐Label Study

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Background Refractory chronic migraine (rCM) is a highly disabling condition for which novel safe and effective treatments are needed. Safety and long‐term efficacy of paresthesia‐free high cervical 10 kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) were here prospectively evaluated for the treatment of rCM.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

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
