Botulinum toxin use in patients with neurological disorders: A U.S.‐based claims database analysis

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objective Real‐world evidence describing long‐term persistency with botulinum toxin (BoNT) therapy is limited. We assessed treatment patterns and persistency with BoNT in clinical practice over 2 years. Design Retrospective, longitudinal, claims database analysis. Setting Medical claims data from the Merative MarketScan database

Evaluating the efficacy of obturator cryoneurolysis for hip adductor spasticity: An observational, prospective study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hip adductor spasticity is a common affliction among patients with disorders of the central nervous system. Cryoneurolysis is a novel intervention for spasticity involving the application of extreme cold to a nerve. This induces axonal breakdown, relieving spasticity.

The predictive nature of diagnostic nerve blocks for lower extremity spasticity management with botulinum toxin and neurotomy: A systematic review

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction/Objective Diagnostic nerve blocks (DNBs) involve the injection of anesthetic around peripheral nerves to temporarily reduce motor tone. Although they are used clinically to inform spasticity treatment with neurotomy and chemodenervation, there is little research exploring the predictive nature of DNBs.

Prevalence of shoulder subluxation diagnosed via ultrasound screening in infants with birth brachial plexus injuries

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Posterior shoulder subluxation and glenohumeral dysplasia are known secondary complications of birth brachial plexus palsies (BBPP) that contribute to functional limitations. The prevalence of shoulder subluxation in infants with BBPP and the timeline of when subluxation occurs in the first year of life remain unclear, with prior ...

Prediction of Prion Proteins in E. coli Based on Bimodal Sequence Characteristics

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prions are infectious proteins that bear misfolded conformations capable of converting folded states into misfolded aggregates under physiologically relevant conditions. In mammals, prions cause deadly maladies including Creutzfeldt‐Jakob and chronic wasting disease. To date, several prion proteins have been identified in eukaryotes, primarily

Gut mucin fucosylation dictates the entry of botulinum toxin complexes

Nature Communications
Botulinum toxins (BoNTs) produced by Clostridium botulinum are the most potent known bacterial toxins. The BoNT complex from serotype B-Okra (LPTC/BOkra) exerts at least 80-fold higher oral toxicity in mice compared with that from serotype A1 (L-PTC/A62A)

Baicalein Sensitizes Radioresistant BT549 and MCF7‐R Breast Cancer Cells by Modulating Rac1 Signaling

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radioresistance remains a key barrier in breast cancer (BC) treatment. Baicalein, a flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis, has shown potential to enhance radiosensitivity. This study investigates its efficacy and mechanism in radioresistant BC models. Radioresistant BC cell models were established via fractionated irradiation and validated by
