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

Reversal of refractory epilepsy in an adult with GAMT deficiency: A case report and comparative literature review

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive creatine biosynthesis disorder. Reports specifically focusing on adult patients remain scarce. Methods We report a 52‐year‐old female (the oldest documented case of GAMT deficiency to date) presenting with severe intellectual disability, refractory ...

FES and spasticity

, 1989
A model of hemiplegic spasticity based on electromyographical and biomechanical parameters measured during passive muscle stretching is presented. Two components of spasticity can be distinguished - phasic and tonic.

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.

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.

Molecular Genetic Analysis and Prenatal Diagnosis of a Family With MECP2 Duplication Syndrome

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Combined low‐pass CNV‐seq and MLPA identified an inherited Xq28 duplication encompassing MECP2 in a 15‐week male fetus and his affected older brother, transmitted from an asymptomatic mother. This integrated strategy enabled accurate pedigree analysis and prenatal diagnosis of MECP2 duplication syndrome, supporting genetic counseling and reproductive ...

Data‐Driven Insights into Hyperkinetic Disorders in Neurodevelopmental Syndromes and Epileptic Encephalopathies

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Childhood‐onset hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a range of genetic conditions. Recently, there has been an increase in recognition of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly dystonia, chorea and dyskinesia, with monogenic conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) and also with developmental and epileptic ...
