Objective: Development and validation of the Relationship Self-Questionnaire (RSQ), specific to Huntington’s disease (HD), which aims tomeasurepatients self-perceived quality of their relationships (RS). Background: In…Lack of sensitivity of full-depth upper gastrointestinal specimens as a prodromal biomarker for synucleinopathy in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder
Objective: To examine the phosphorylated alpha-synuclein (pAS) immunohistochemistry of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract tissue as a “prodromal” pathologic biomarker for synucleinopathy in idiopathic rapid…Intraparenchymal Cyst Formation and Spontaneous Regression following Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery
Objective: To present a case that highlights the recognition of a rare complication following deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and its management. Background: Deep brain…Effects of deep brain stimulation on quality of life and cognition in patients with drug-resistant Tourette syndrome
Objective: To evaluate possible influence of DBS on quality of life and cognition in a small group of patients with drug-resistant Tourette syndrome (TS). Background:…Spinal Cord Stimulation on Parkinson’s disease: Continuous or intermittent stimulation?
Objective: To report the effects of continuous and intermittent spinal cord stimulation (SCS) on gait in two patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) with refractory gait…Interim Analysis of Electrode Position and Motor Outcomes at 6 Months in STN-DBS for Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves placement of electrodes in the STN followed by stimulation. Outcome of the surgery is dependent on the accuracy of…
