Detection of focal impaired awareness seizures using a biometric shirt
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective In recent years, seizure detection using wearable technology has gained significant attention in research. Most studies, however, have focused on detecting generalized or focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures. This study evaluates the feasibility of using a biometric shirt to detect focal impaired awareness seizures (FIAS) by ...

Neurophysiology of dystonia: The role of inhibition
Neurobiology of Disease, 2011 The pathophysiology of dystonia has been best studied in patients with focal hand dystonia. A loss of inhibitory function has been demonstrated at spinal, brainstem and cortical levels. Many cortical circuits seem to be involved.

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Although there are several reports of the significant efficacy of zolpidem for treating dystonia, zolpidem is still considered an anecdotal treatment. Here, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of zolpidem for treating residual dystonia in patients who ...

Disturbed surround inhibition in focal hand dystonia
Annals of Neurology, 2004 AbstractDisturbances in surround inhibition could account for various movement disorders. Here we test the functional operation of surround inhibition in focal hand dystonia. Transcranial magnetic stimulation was set to be triggered by self‐initiated voluntary flexion of the index finger. During this movement, motor‐evoked potential amplitudes from the

CORTICAL PLASTICITY AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR FOCAL HAND DYSTONIA [PDF]
Biomedical Papers, 2006 The exact origin of focal dystonias has not been elucidated so far. Aberrant plasticity of the brain cortex is suspected to be a crucial factor in the development of this group of movement disorders. The aim of this article is to summarize recent findings on the etiopathogenesis of focal hand dystonias with a focus on the role of abnormal cortical ...

Gait Alterations Due to DCC Gene Variants in Individuals with Congenital Mirror Movements
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Congenital Mirror Movement Syndrome (CMMS) involves involuntary movements on one side of the body while voluntary movements are performed on the other side. They disrupt left–right coordination and can be caused by a pathogenic variant in the DCC gene.

Orofacial Drinking Tremor: A Case Series and Literature Review
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Task‐specific orofacial tremor is a rare condition in which rhythmic oscillations of orofacial muscles occur during specific actions. Drinking tremor represents a recurrent pattern in isolated reports, although its phenomenology and underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined.
