Anticholinergic Burden and Botulinum Toxin Needs after Deep Brain Stimulation in Adult and Pediatric Patients with Dystonia

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Anticholinergic medications and botulinum neurotoxin injections are established treatments for dystonia, yet they carry potential side effects and practical challenges. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is offered in case of poor response to these approaches.

Basal Forebrain Volume and Concurrent Hallucinations and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Visual hallucinations (VH) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) often co‐occur in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Each symptom in isolation is associated with cholinergic basal forebrain (BF) atrophy. However, it is unclear whether BF integrity relates to one symptom preferentially or to their co‐occurrence, and whether this relationship ...

Circadian Immunity and Vascular Inflammation in Cardiovascular Disease Chronotherapy Windows: Time for a Re‐Assessment

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms orchestrate cardiovascular physiology by regulating immune and inflammatory pathways. Disruption of these rhythms profoundly alters vascular homeostasis, thereby promoting the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Analyzing the ‘Bradykinesia Complex’ in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bradykinesia is the hallmark sign of parkinsonism. We recently proposed redefining bradykinesia as a complex of motor abnormalities, each reflecting separate pathophysiological elements. Objective To analyze the ‘bradykinesia complex’ in Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy elderly individuals.

The Second Hit Hypothesis in Animal and Human Dystonia: The Role of Peripheral Nerve Trauma and Spinal Cord Injury

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
The “second‐hit” hypothesis proposes that both a genetic predisposition and an environmental insult—such as peripheral nerve trauma or spinal cord injury—are required for dystonia development. This review explores how neuroinflammation and maladaptive plasticity, triggered by nerve and spinal cord injury, contribute to dystonia pathogenesis.

Exploring the Impact of Polystyrene Microplastic Beads on Male Gonads of the Marine Mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic, with its remarkable versatility and numerous applications, has greatly benefited humanity. However, its extreme resistance to natural degradation means it persists in the environment for long periods, causing global environmental problems.

Biological Functions of Keratinocyte Cholinergic Receptors

Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 1997
Human epidermal keratinocytes possess cholinergic enzymes, which synthesize and degrade acetylcholine, and express both nicotinic and muscarinic classes of cholinergic receptors on their cell surfaces. These receptors bind acetylcholine and initiate cellular response.

Toxicity of Four Common Environmental Chemicals Across Caenorhabditis elegans Life Stages Supporting the One Health Concept

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pesticides and pharmaceuticals are among the most common chemical groups in waterbodies and soils, and their universal distribution raises concerns about potential adverse effects on nontarget organisms and humans. Reproductive output disruption is of particular concern, as it transposes effects from the individual to the next generations at ...

Subtle changes in striatal muscarinic M1 and M4 receptor expression in the DYT1 knock-in mouse model of dystonia.

PLoS ONE, 2019
In early-onset generalized torsion dystonia, caused by a GAG deletion in TOR1A (DYT1), enhanced striatal cholinergic activity has been suggested to be critically involved. Previous studies have shown increased acetylcholine levels in the striatum of DYT1
