Cervical Inlet Patches in R‐CPD: An Unrecognized Predictor of Treatment Failure

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective cohort study identified cervical inlet patches (CIP) in 19.8% of patients undergoing cricopharyngeal botulinum toxin injection for R‐CPD. CIP presence and increasing age independently predicted failure to sustain a long‐term treatment response, suggesting that CIP may be an underrecognized factor in R‐CPD treatment durability ...

Data‐Driven Insights into Hyperkinetic Disorders in Neurodevelopmental Syndromes and Epileptic Encephalopathies

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Childhood‐onset hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a range of genetic conditions. Recently, there has been an increase in recognition of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly dystonia, chorea and dyskinesia, with monogenic conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) and also with developmental and epileptic ...

A new congenital multicore titinopathy associated with fast myosin heavy chain deficiency

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020
Congenital titinopathies are myopathies with variable phenotypes and inheritance modes. Here, we fully characterized, using an integrated approach (deep phenotyping, muscle morphology, mRNA and protein evaluation in muscle biopsies), two siblings with ...

Hyperhomocysteinemia and Vitamin B Deficiency as Potential Aggravating Factors in Huntington's Disease: A Prospective Monocentric Study

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although not confirmed, some studies have suggested that elevated homocysteine levels are common in patients with Huntington's disease (HD). Its clinical relevance remains unclear. Objectives We aimed to assess vitamin B and homocysteine levels in HD patients and explore the relationships among hyperhomocysteinemia, vitamin B ...
