Motor deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD) are reduced by deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), but impact this therapy on dysarthrophonic problems PD remains controversial. We therefore aimed to disentangle effects STN DBS speech skills long-term treated patients.Under continued medication, and motor functions 19 patients with bilateral were studied when their therapeutic was active (STIM-ON) versus switched off (STIM-OFF). Per condition, perceptual ratings given...

Individuals with intellectual disability (ID) are at risk for additional autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A large amount of research reveals deficits in emotion-related processes that relevant to social cognition ASD.

Compared with the general population, adults an intellectual developmental disorder (IDD) are more likely to develop mental health problems and receive high levels of psychotropic medication, particularly antipsychotics.

People with ID experience shorter life expectancies and one most common causes death include malignancies (20%). In addition to life-style factors, possibly genetic mutations causing may contribute oncogenesis. Whether individuals have a higher-than-expected risk cancer Germany remains unknown. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using...
Various approaches to the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in children use non-verbal communicative quality music. However, ASD is frequent but under-diagnosed adults with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDDs), so valid diagnostic instruments are urgently needed. Against this background, Music-based Scale for Autism Diagnosis (MUSAD) was developed. A course 13 musical interactional situations associated and activities created elicit relevant behaviours. Eighty-eight...
