The Huntington’s Disease Health Index Study (HD-HI)
Objective: To identify the symptomatic domains with the greatest impact on quality-of-life for those living with Huntington’s Disease (HD) through patient and caregiver interviews. Background:…Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in Huntington’s disease – a longitudinal study
Objective: To validate the role of NFL as a marker of disease progression and to discover new biomarkers in HD. Background: Neurofilament light chain (NFL)…Large CAG expansions in Huntington disease children: the RAREST-JHD initiative
Objective: RAREST-JHD (Juvenile Huntington Disease) is an initiative to study young HD subjects’ clinics, genetics and imaging to identify markers to transfer into clinics and…Hung up knee jerk reflex in Huntington’s disease: A clinical and neurophysiological study
Objective: Evaluate the presence of Hung-up Knee jerk reflex (HUKJR) in premanifest and symptomatic Huntington’s Disease (HD) patients and its neurophysiological correlate. Background: The HUKJR is a…Dopamine transporter scan finding in patients with chorea.
Objective: To evaluate dopamine transporter scan findings in patients with chorea. Background: Chorea is nonrepetitive irregular involuntary movement with distal predominance. They are caused by…Admission Diagnoses and Eventual Discharge Dispositions for Hospitalized Huntington’s Disease Patients: Results of a Nationwide Survey
Objective: To better understand the causes of acute illness and its consequences for subsequent inpatient care in patients with Huntington’s Disease (HD). Background: HD is…Generalized choreodystonia in a patient with HIV and hepatitis C with the history of opioid drug abuse after treating with interferon- 2alpha (Peginton)
Objective: We reported a case of a patient G., 47 years old treated with Pegintron (1,5 mcg/kg/week) and ribavirin (15 mg/kg/day) within a year due…Evidence of putaminal petechial hemorrhage as the cause of hyperglycemic chorea
Objective: To report a series of magnetic resonance image (MRI) study and advise the initial putaminal petechial hemorrhage following with gliosis as the cause of…TMS-EEG markers of inhibitory deficits in Huntington’s disease
Objective: Given the GABAergic nature of TMS-evoked EEG activity, we tested whether GABAergic deficits in Huntington's disease (HD) patients produce any significant change in TMS-EEG…Relative hypoglycemia induces acute chorea followed by chronic parkinsonism in a diabetic patient on hemodialysis: A case with sequential clinico-radiological correlate
Objective: To present a sequential clinico-radiological study of a diabetic patient on hemodialysis who developed acute chorea followed by chronic parkinsonism. Background: Hyperglycemic chorea is…
