Characteristics of Cerebral Palsy in the Midwestern US

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common lifelong motor disability worldwide. Yet, data is limited on how CP manifests in the US. Our objective was to characterize and determine factors affecting functional outcomes in a large population of young people with CP in the Midwestern US.

Zebrafish as a Model System for Brugada Syndrome

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inheritable cardiac arrhythmogenic disease, associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. It is most common in males around the age of 40 and the prevalence is higher in Asia than in Europe and the United States.

Radial glia in the proliferative ventricular zone of the embryonic and adult turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans. [PDF]

, 2014
To better understand the role of radial glial (RG) cells in the evolution of the mammalian cerebral cortex, we investigated the role of RG cells in the dorsal cortex and dorsal ventricular ridge of the turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans.

Quantity and Volume of Perivascular Spaces Are Inversely Associated With Multiple Sclerosis Relative to Cerebrovascular Disease and Migraine

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To quantify the number and volume of whole brain perivascular spaces (PVS) using a detection and segmentation algorithm in participants with multiple sclerosis (MS) and patients with disorders mimicking MS known to potentially influence PVS, such as cerebrovascular disease.

Left ventricular active stiffness: dependency on time and inotropic state [PDF]

, 1978
Left ventricular systolic stiffness was measured by rapidly changing ventricular volume (within 7 ms) of isovolumically contracting isolated rabbit hearts. Instantaneous pressure-volume relations were found to be linear with slopes that depended upon the

The Diverse Neuromuscular Spectrum of VPS13A Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective VPS13A disease (chorea‐acanthocytosis) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic variants in VPS13A, typically presenting with hyperkinetic movement disorders, while neuromuscular signs are often mild. The aim of the project was to investigate the frequency and severity of neuromuscular impairment in VPS13A disease ...

Growth Differentiation Factor 15 Elevation in the Central Nervous System Is Associated With Failure to Thrive in Alexander Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Alexander disease (AxD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder caused by gain‐of‐function mutations in the gene for GFAP, which lead to protein aggregation and a primary astrocytopathy. Symptoms vary, but failure to thrive (FTT) and frequent emesis are common and cause significant morbidity. Here we investigate GDF15, a member of the

Scoliosis Surgery in a Patient With Advanced Friedreich's Ataxia—It Is Not Too Late

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Friedreich's ataxia is a multisystem disorder with scoliosis being the most common non‐neurological manifestation. While scoliosis surgery is typically performed in adolescent, ambulatory patients, few data exist on surgical outcomes in patients with advanced disease.
