Prominent Movement Disorders in RNU2‐2‐Related Spliceosomopathy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pediatric movement disorders often overlap with neurodevelopmental diseases, suggesting shared molecular mechanisms. Variants in small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes encoding spliceosome components have recently been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, termed “RNUopathies.” We analyzed genome sequencing data from 14 patients with ...

Index Finger Pointing (Likely a Subtle Form of Hand Dystonia): Prevalence Across Movement Disorders
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Objective: To investigate the prevalence of index finger pointing (IFP) while walking, which is likely a subtle form of hand dystonia, in cranio-cervical focal dystonia syndromes, Parkinson's disease (PD), essential tremor (ET), and controls.Methods: We ...

Treatment of dystonia and tics
Clinical Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2020 Treatment of dystonia and tics continues to evolve. In dystonia, while oral agents such as benzodiazepines, baclofen and anticholinergics remain in use, botulinum toxin (BoNT) continues to be regarded as the treatment of choice for focal and segmental ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Magnetomechanical neuromodulation using magnetic nanodiscs enables remote activation of neurons. In a hemiparkinsonian mouse model, alternating magnetic fields actuate the nanodiscs to generate torque that opens mechanosensitive ion channels within the subthalamic nucleus, thereby modulating basal ganglia motor circuitry.

Defining Features of Gabriele‐de Vries Syndrome in Adults: A Case Report and Literature Review
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gabriele‐de Vries syndrome (GADEVS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in the YY1 gene. Like most rare genetic syndromes, the adult manifestations of GADEVS remain poorly defined. Here, we describe the oldest patient reported to date with GADEVS—a 63‐year‐old woman with a c.1177_1179del YY1 variant ...

A guide to neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy
Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Neuromodulation is approved for the treatment of drug‐resistant epilepsy. It has been increasingly utilized over the past two decades with the approval of deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) in addition to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)—particularly in patients who are not deemed to be good resective surgical ...

NMDAR‐antibody encephalitis: Seizure semiology and EEG findings
Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor antibody encephalitis (NMDAR‐Ab‐E) is an autoantibody‐mediated disorder, characterized by acute development of neuropsychiatric symptoms, seizures, movement disorders, and autonomic instability. Objectives To describe acute seizure semiology and electroencephalogram (EEG) findings in patients with a ...

Motor training as treatment in focal hand dystonia
Movement Disorders, 2005 AbstractFocal hand dystonia may arise as a result of aberrant plasticity from excessive repetitive use. Improvement might be possible with appropriate motor training. Focusing on trying to decrease abnormal overflow of movement to fingers not involved in a task, we developed a motor training program for individualized finger movements.

Focal hand dystonia after cervical whiplash injury [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2003 There is currently a general consensus of agreement that dystonia is a disease of the basal ganglia, although dystonic symptoms have been observed in association with lesions in various different sites of the sensory and motor pathways.1 In particular, cervical intramedullary lesions have been reported as being a rare cause of focal hand dystonia,2 ...
