Electroencephalographic Normalization as a Biomarker of Clinical Recovery in Down Syndrome Regression Disorder

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Down syndrome regression disorder is a syndrome characterized by subacute loss of cognitive, behavioral, and functional abilities in individuals with Down syndrome. Electroencephalography abnormalities are frequently observed during evaluation, but it remains unclear whether these findings represent a dynamic marker of disease ...

To spasm, or Not to Spasm, That is the Question

Journal of Anesthesia & Pain Medicine, 2016
Typically, cervical dystonia (CD), or spasmodic torticollis, is described as a condition in which the cervical paraspinal muscle groups in the neck undergo uncontrollable and prolonged spasm. It has been well described in the literature that CD presents in most patients with an extreme head tilt or tremor due to spasm.
