Managing Dystonia in Partington Syndrome

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bilateral focal hand dystonia is an almost pathognomonic sign of Partington syndrome, frequently accompanied by intellectual disability and oromotor dyspraxia. However, a few studies have focused on the treatment of this focal dystonia, making patient management uncertain.

The Spectrum of Abnormal Tongue Movements: Review of Phenomenology, Etiology, and Differential Diagnosis

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.

Changes of masseter muscle after mandible distraction osteogenesis in patients with Hemifacial microsomia: a retrospective study

Frontiers in Pediatrics
IntroductionMandible distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is widely used to reconstruct the mandible in patients with mild Hemifacial microsomia (HFM). However, the masseter's response to mandible distraction remains unclear.MethodsIn this study, we analyze ...

Unilateral mastication‐induced memory deficits linked to disrupted hippocampal cholesterol metabolism in rats

VIEW, EarlyView.
Unilateral mastication, a common oral habit, induces cognitive decline in rats by disrupting hippocampal cholesterol metabolism. It triggers astrocyte hyperplasia, enhances cholesterol synthesis, impairs transport/degradation, and reduces 24‐hydroxycholesterol (24‐OHC), ultimately damaging synaptic function.

Fluoxetine, but not paroxetine, alters the jaw-closing muscle activity during non-rapid eye movement sleep in mice

Neuroscience Research
Sleep bruxism is an involuntary, exaggerated jaw-closing activity during sleep. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use is a risk factor for bruxism. However, the effect of various SSRIs on masseter (jaw-closing) muscle activity remains unclear.

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...
