Effects of Deep Brain Stimulation on Adductor Laryngeal Dystonia

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated how globus pallidus interna (GPi) versus ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects objective voice measures in patients with adductor laryngeal dystonia. GPi‐DBS was associated with greater improvements in voicing, voice breaks, and intensity modulation, while VIM‐DBS showed greater improvement in ...

The Endocrine Disrupting Compounds Bisphenol‐A and α‐Zeranol Mimic the Estrogen Transcriptional Program to Promote Proliferation and Stemness in Breast Cancer Cells

Molecular Carcinogenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excessive activation of the estrogen receptor (ER) drives proliferation, progression, and the formation of breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) in ER‐positive breast cancer. Estrogenic endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) found in plastics, water, and food are also able to bind to the ER.

Effects of Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation on Speech and Swallowing in Pediatric Patients with Dystonia

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bilateral globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is a proven safe and effective treatment in certain forms of idiopathic or inherited dystonia (ID/IN). Its effects in acquired dystonia such as in dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) however vary widely.

Socio‐Occupational Functioning after Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Socio‐occupational functioning in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) is not fully captured by standard motor and quality‐of‐life scales. Objectives To characterize patient‐reported socio‐occupational functioning after STN‐DBS and explore associated clinical and ...
