Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Functional movement disorder (FMD), a subtype of functional neurological disorder, is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by inconsistent and incongruent motor symptoms. Despite its relatively high prevalence, FMD remains associated with delayed diagnosis, significant disability, and limited evidence to guide ...

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.

Structural analysis of botulinum neurotoxins type B and E by Cryo-EM [Elektronisk resurs]
, 2022 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the causative agents of a potentially lethal paralytic disease targeting cholinergic nerve terminals. Multiple BoNT serotypes exist, with types A, B and E being the main cause of human botulism.

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Task‐specific tremors (TST) and position‐dependent tremors (PDT) are rare isolated focal tremors that impair fine motor control with few effective treatment options. Although botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is effective in other tremor syndromes, its evidence in these tremor subtypes remains limited.

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 ...

Should Paratonia Be Considered a Movement Disorder? Implications for Clinical Management
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Paratonia is an involuntary and variable resistance to passive movement that emerges with cognitive decline in dementias of different etiologies, with prevalence approaching 90% to 100% in end‐stage disease. It is common in Parkinson disease and the atypical parkinsonisms.

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
