Management of Absent Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening After Neurological Injury
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study evaluated the effects of swallowing therapy and cricopharyngeus (CP) muscle surgery on upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening, oral intake, and airway protection in patients with absent UES opening following neurological injury. CP‐targeted surgeries were associated with improved bolus passage and oral intake, but persistent aspiration ...

Unintentional Weight Loss Does Not Predict Poor Outcomes in Zenker Diverticulum
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.In this study of 427 patients with Zenker's diverticulum, 23.6% had significant unintentional preoperative weight loss. Weight loss was associated with preoperative dysphagia and with both the smallest and largest pouches. Postoperative outcomes were similar in patients with and without weight loss, demonstrating a similar efficacy and safety profile ...

Movement Disorders in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Monogenic developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) frequently feature co‐occurring movement disorders. Gene discovery has expanded epilepsy‐dyskinesia syndromes (EDS) from classic associations such as stereotypies in Rett syndrome to PRRT2‐related infantile seizures with paroxysmal dyskinesia and crouched gait in SCN1A ...

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 ...

Acute and Chronic Local Field Potential Recordings in Dystonia—A Systematic Review
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder increasingly conceptualized as a disorder of distributed network dysfunction involving the basal ganglia, cortex and cerebellum. Local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes provide a unique opportunity to characterize the electrophysiological signatures ...

A Gap Analysis of Deep Brain Stimulation for Childhood‐Onset Movement Disorders
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established and increasingly utilized therapy for childhood‐onset movement disorders. However, pediatric DBS poses unique challenges that are not adequately addressed by adult‐derived paradigms. Objective To identify key gaps in the current use of DBS in childhood‐onset movement disorders and to ...
