The ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) is the target of choice for Essential Tremor (ET) deep brain stimulation (DBS). Renewed interest in caudal zona incerta (cZI) tremor control has recently emerged and some groups believe this approach may address long-term reduction benefit seen with VIM-DBS.To compare clinical outcomes DBS programming between VIM cZI neurostimulation ET-DBS patients.A retrospective review 53 leads from 47 patients was performed. Patients were classified into or...
Background Parkinson's disease patients are more likely to be hospitalized, have higher rates of hospital complications, and an increased risk deterioration during hospitalization.

Five experience serving officers were enrolled feasibility study which they observed actors in-person...
Aspiration pneumonia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Parkinson's disease (PD). Clinical characteristics PD patients addition to specific alterations swallowing mechanisms contribute higher times impairment the effective clearance airway. These issues may render more prone dysphagia aspiration events. We aimed determine frequency events a hospitalized cohort, report number in-hospital swallow evaluations. A retrospective single center chart review 212 who had 339 hospital...

ABSTRACT Background : Dystonia often has inconsistent benefits and requires more energy‐demanding DBS settings. Studies suggest that squared biphasic pulses could provide significant clinical benefit; however, dystonia patients have not been explored. Objectives To assess safety tolerability of square in patients. Methods This study included primary generalized or cervical with bilateral GPi DBS. Square were implemented assessed at baseline, immediately postwashout, post–30‐minute washout, 1...
