Identification of spastic muscles involved in abnormal joint posture in patients with upper motor neuron syndrome: a narrative review

Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine
Few studies have specifically investigated which muscles are involved in abnormal joint posture (AJP) due to muscle spasticity and should therefore be targeted for botulinum toxin injections. This gap has significant implications for treatment efficiency,

Spasticity or reversible muscle hypertonia?

Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2011
The increase in resistance to passive muscle stretch in a paretic limb due to an upper motor neurone lesion is often referred to as muscle spasticity. However, this terminology is inaccurate and does not take into account the complex pathogenesis of the condition or describe the factors that contribute to the clinically observed changes in muscle tone.

Electroclinical phenotypes—genetic characterization of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies in a cohort study

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are characterized by refractory seizures and frequently recurring epileptic activity with neurodevelopmental delay or regression that usually begin in early life. We aimed to define the relationship between electroclinical features and etiology, as well as the genotype–phenotype ...

KBG syndrome: A scoping review of electroclinical features of patients with epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives KBG syndrome is a rare autosomal developmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants of the ANKRD11 gene. This scoping review aimed to explore all current literature data regarding clinical and electroencephalographic features of patients with KBG syndrome and epilepsy. Materials and Methods We conducted a literature

Antibody kinetics against tetanus toxoid before and after primary vaccination of foals

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Vaccination recommendations for foals against Clostridium tetani vary. Available studies assessing foal immune responses, maternal antibody interference, or individual variation often used small foal numbers. Objectives To quantify antibody responses after tetanus vaccination in foals and explore associations with passively ...

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.

Botulinum toxin in muscle spasticity [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2000
Botulinum toxin type A has been widely used in focal dystonias for more than 10 years, but it is also undoubtedly of benefit in the relief of spasticity,1 a far commoner cause of motor impairment and neurological disability. The injection technique, by contrast with more traditional peripheral nerve blocks, requires little special equipment and can be ...

Crosstalk Between Parkinson's Disease and Colorectal Cancer: Genetic Mechanisms, Gut Microbiota, and Therapeutic Insights

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the crosstalk between Parkinson's disease and colorectal cancer, driven by shared genetics (PRKN, PINK1, DJ‐1) involving oxidative stress, cell cycle regulation, and inflammation. It identifies the gut microbiota—via functional amyloids and short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs)—as a mechanistic bridge, offering insights for dual ...

Phenotypic Exploration in Patients with Heterozygous Variant in AFG3L2 Gene: A Case‐Series and Literature Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Variants in AFG3‐Like Matrix AAA Peptidase, Subunit 2 (AFG3L2) gene are associated with diverse clinical phenotypes. Here, we describe phenotypic findings of two unrelated children with de novo heterozygous variant and one family with inherited heterozygous variant in AFG3L2 gene.
