Probable REM sleep behaviour disorder and detrusor overactivity in primary cervical dystonia- A case report
Objective: To report two atypical associations of pRBD and DO we came across with a case of primary cervical dystonia. Background: RBD (REM sleep Behaviour…Altered glutamate response and calcium dynamics in iPSC derived striatal neurons from XDP-patients
Objective: Our objective was to generate an in vitro model of XDP based on striatal neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), followed by…Localization of basal ganglia and thalamic damage in dyskinetic cerebral palsy
Objective: To quantitatively consolidate published reports of deep grey matter injury in cerebral palsy to determine the patterns of injury associated with dystonia and dyskinesias.…A unique phenotype associated with anti-GAD antibodies
Objective: To describe a case of hemiatiaxia, parkinsonism, and dystonia associated with anti-Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD) antibodies. Background: GAD antibodies have been implicated in endocrinopathies…Choreoathetosis associated with cervical dystonia as clinical presentation of thyrotoxicosis: A rare condition
Objective: To describe the first report of Cervical Dystonia and Choreoatetosis associated in the same patient with hyperthyroidism (thyrotoxicosis). Background: Thyroid Disease is related with…Temporal discrimination threshold and the menstrual cycle
Objective: To demonstrate the absence of any significant difference in weekly TDT values during two consecutive menstrual cycles in healthy female volunteers. Background: Temporal discrimination…A functional magnetic imaging study of the response in the superior colliculus to looming stimuli in cervical dystonia patients and their relatives
Objective: To demonstrate the functional magnetic resonance imaging response to looming stimuli in the superior colliculus of cervical dystonia patients and their relatives with and…An atypical case of adult-onset, levodopa-responsive, paroxysmal dystonia
Objective: To describe a case of adult-onset, levodopa-responsive, paroxysmal dystonia. Background: Adult-onset dystonia cases account for at least 90% of primary dystonia, however, less than…Impaired response times to luminance stimuli in dystonia patients indicate disordered superior colliculus processing
Objective: We hypothesise that patients with adult onset isolated focal dystonia (AOIFD) will have slower reaction times to luminance stimuli versus healthy controls due to…Orientation of attention affects onset of head saccades: A novel representation of the Posner cueing effect
Objective: We demonstrate how newly emerging technology can be utilized to record head movements and extract robust performance metrics. Therefore we will attempt to show,…
