Strong earthquakes and geomagnetic jerks: a cause-effect relationship?
Secular variation of the geomagnetic field observed at the Earth's surface has been found to undergo impulsive accelerations Gerks) lasting less than a few years. In this paper the relations between jerks and the occurrence of strong earthquakes (Ms ?

Novel GLDC variants causing nonketotic hyperglycinemia in Chinese patients
Glycine decarboxylase gene (GLDC) mutations cause nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH). Patients of NKH usually have heterogeneous phenotypes including respiratory failure, lethargy, myoclonic jerks, and hypotonia. The excessive glycine accumulation in brain

Natural Frequencies of Levodopa‐Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Objectives Abnormal involuntary movements, known as dyskinesias, are common complications of levodopa treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease and can significantly impair quality of life. The underlying pathophysiology remains unclear, and current therapeutic options are limited.

Spinal myoclonus: report of four cases
Four cases of spinal myoclonus are described, three males and one female. The mean age was 51 years (28-75 years). The mean time between the onset of the myelopathy and the myoclonic jerks was 4.3 months (1-8 months).

In studies of smooth eye movements, saccades are often detected and removed from eye movement records during analysis. A simple and effective method for saccade detection is described; the method uses jerk (the third derivative of eye position with respect to time).

Gravity‐Dependent Modulation of Downbeat Nystagmus: Insights From Velocity‐Storage Dysfunction
ABSTRACT Objective Downbeat nystagmus varies with head position, a phenomenon termed gravity‐dependent modulation. We aimed to clarify its mechanism using a velocity‐storage model. Methods In 10 patients with downbeat nystagmus due to cerebellar disorders, we recorded eye movements at different pitch‐ and roll‐axis head positions.

TEXT-BOOKS of anaesthesia seldom mention the effect of general anaesthesia on the tendon-jerks, no doubt because this information has not been relevant in clinical anaesthesia. In the course of other work it became necessary to examine these effects. Tendon-jerks were accordingly tested in seventy-two patients subjected to anaesthesia.

Global Rather Than Vertical‐Selective Saccadic Abnormalities in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
ABSTRACT Objective To test whether vertical saccades are preferentially affected in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Methods PSP patients (n = 24) were compared to age‐matched controls (n = 94) and two degenerative groups (Alzheimer's disease, n = 20; Lewy body disease, n = 50).
