In Vivo Mapping of Catecholaminergic Loss and Iron Deposition in Huntington's Disease
Abstract Background The pathophysiology of Huntington's disease (HD) remains obscure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reveal in vivo molecular changes related to disease pathology. Objectives To investigate catecholaminergic neuronal integrity and subcortical brain iron accumulation in HD employing neuromelanin‐sensitive MRI, and quantitative ...

The R6/2 mouse is the most common mouse model used for Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal, inherited neurodegenerative CAG disorder characterized by marked brain atrophy. We scanned 47 R6/2 transgenic and 42 wildtype (WT) ex vivo mouse brains at 18 weeks

This study examined lifetime stressor exposure in adolescents at genetic risk for Huntington disease (HD) compared to community controls. At‐risk participants reported significantly greater lifetime stressor exposure than controls and were more likely to report externalizing problems such as rule‐breaking behavior when exposed to stress.

Juvenile-onset inflammatory arthritis: a study of adolescents' beliefs about underlying cause [PDF]
Objective. Patients’ beliefs regarding the cause of illness may influence treatment adherence and long-term outcome. Little is known of adolescents’ beliefs regarding the cause of JIA. This study aims to identify adolescents’ beliefs about the underlying

ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

The Clinical Manifestation of Homozygous Huntington's Disease
ABSTRACT Huntington's disease is an incurable neurodegenerative disease with deficits in many areas including cognitive, psychiatric, and most notably, motor. It is autosomal dominant, meaning one affected allele is enough to express the condition.

Juvenile-onset Huntington’s disease: a challenging diagnosis
The clinical presentation of juvenile-onset Huntington’s disease differs from the adult-onset variant which adult neurologists are familiar. We report how we eventually arrived at this diagnosis in a patient whose clinical presentation was marked by ...
