RESPIRATORY COMPLICATIONS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT IN MOTOR NEURON DISEASE

Brain, 1989
Although respiratory insufficiency is common in the advanced stages of motor neuron disease, some patients may develop distressing respiratory symptoms early in the course of the disease or even present with respiratory failure or arrest. We describe 14 patients with motor neuron disease who were considered for respiratory support; 11 received such ...

Complications of Limb Lengthening With Motorized Intramedullary Nails

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2020
Intramedullary limb lengthening (LL) is now achievable through motorized intramedullary devices. While this technology mitigates some complications of external-fixation-based lengthening, many complications common to all lengthening procedures persist. New challenges and complications exclusive to this newer technology are also presented.

The MPTP-treated primate as a model of motor complications in PD

Neurology, 2003
Motor complications are a common cause of treatment failure in Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the underlying mechanisms remain obscure, research with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated primates may facilitate their investigation. Repeated administration of L-dopa to MPTP-treated primates results in a loss of drug efficacy ("

Ventilator dependence complications in motor neuron disease

BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care, 2020
Long-term dependence on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) without time for advance care planning can result in significant complications that may require innovative management strategies. We present the case of a man who was admitted with respiratory failure and required NIV.

Focal Motor Seizures Complicating Carotid Endarterectomy

Archives of Surgery, 1984
We studied four patients with focal motor seizures complicating carotid endarterectomy and compared them with 14 other cases reported previously. Seventeen of the 18 patients had high-grade carotid stenoses. A severe unilateral headache usually preceded seizure activity, which was followed by prolonged Todd's paralysis.

Cabergoline in Parkinson's disease complicated by motor fluctuations

Movement Disorders, 1996
AbstractCabergoline is a long‐acting D2 dopamine (DA) agonist. We conducted an open study to investigate the effectiveness and tolerability of cabergoline, administered once a day orally, in 50 consecutive patients with Parkinson's disease complicated by motor fluctuations and dyskinesias.

THE MOTOR COMPLICATIONS OF HERPES ZOSTER

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1943
Motor disturbances in cases of herpes zoster are rarely observed. Broadbent 1 in 1866 was the first to describe a "case of herpetic eruption in the course of branches of the brachial plexus followed by partial paralysis in corresponding motor nerves." Comparatively few observers have since reported instances of this condition, although much attention ...

Motor Complications in Parkinson Disease:

Clinical Neuropharmacology, 2004
Currently, Parkinson disease (PD) can be symptomatically controlled with standard treatments; however, after a few years this response typically declines. The authors carried out a prospective practice-based study to evaluate the evolution and motor complications during the first 5 years in 59 de novo PD patients.

Management of non-motor complications in Parkinson’s disease

Journal of Neurology, 2009
This paper summarizes the methods we devised for the treatment of psychosis, orthostatic hypotension, and mood disorders among the various non-motor complications of Parkinson's disease. Psychosis may not manifest when a patient believes in his/her delusions. If left untreated over a prolonged period, however, the delusions progress to paranoia that is

Pisa syndrome as a motor complication of Parkinson's disease

Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2007
We describe two elderly patients with a convincing clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) who developed axial end-of-dose/off dystonia, also referred to as Pisa syndrome (PS). The worsening of symptoms in the "off" period, and a favorable response of the dystonia to an increase of levodopa suggests that PS in our patients may be primarily ...
