Using increase in Impedance as a pointer for an early detection of DBS hardware infection
Objective: To analyze the pattern of changing electrical impedance across the contacts of a DBS Lead after a Staphylococcus biofilm formation in an experimental model. Background: The…Preoperative higher impulsivity leads to better quality of life after deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to explore which cognitive functions and neuropsychiatric symptoms affect QOL, and are therefore predictive of changes in QOL, before and after DBS…Using telemedicine and wearable technology to establish a virtual clinic for people with Parkinson’s
Objective: Addressing the need for a sustainable, patient-centered and effective movement disorder service we set up a virtual clinic (VC) for patients with Parkinson’s disease,…Bayesian Estimation of Gait Cadence from Monocular Video
Objective: Walking (gait) is a crucial motor function, and is frequently assessed as a component of clinical examination and subsequent patient management. However, the assessment…Association between actively and passively monitored gait in early Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the the reliability and preliminary validity of passively acquired sensor features of gait in individuals with early Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Passive…Obsessive-Compulsive Characteristics in Adult Tourette Syndrome Patients with and without OCD
Objective: To characterize obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) in a cohort of adults TS patients with and without OCD. Background: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a phenotypically complex…Can bedside neurophysiological testing aid the differential diagnosis of bilateral upper limb action tremors in young-onset patients?
Objective: To explore the role of neurophysiological testing in young adult patients with bilateral upper limb action tremor. Background: Essential tremor (ET) and enhance physiologic…Neurosonography of substantia nigra in patients with isolated essential tremor and in association with Parkinson’s disease of the family nature
Objective: To identify differential clinical and neurosonographic criteria for ET and PD in patients with familial ET. Background: ET and PD are common disorders, especially…Direct Targeting of the VIM Nucleus during High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) by Direct Visualization
Objective: To determine the “functional” target within VIM Nucleus of the Thalamus during HIFU with high field MRI. Background: Targeting of neuronal structures has been…
