There remains high variability in clinical outcomes when the same magnetic resonance image-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy target is used for both essential tremor (ET) and tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease (TDPD).
Hyposmia is one of the most common, as well first nonmotor condition in Parkinson disease (PD). The sniffin sticks test (SST) evaluates three different aspects olfactory function: threshold (T), discrimination (D), and identification (I). sum scores these subtests produce a global score olfaction, Threshold-Discrimination-Identification (TDI) score.The aim this study was to investigate if TDI or its better discriminate PD patients from controls.We recruited 27 17 healthy age-matched controls...
Introduction: Olfaction impairment occurs in about 90% of patients with Parkinson’s Disease. The Sniffin Sticks Test is a widely used instrument to measure olfactory performance and divided into three subtests that assess threshold, discrimination identification. However, cultural socioeconomic differences can influence test performance. Objectives: We performed systematic review meta-analysis the existent data Disease healthy controls different countries investigated if there are other...
CASE PRESENTATION: Male, 33 years old, previously healthy, presented a single episode of epileptic seizure four ago after traumatic brain injury suffered in 2005. Throughout the evolution, seizures appeared as left eye blinks with progression to myoclonus hemiface, some secondary generalization. It became more frequent, reaching about hundreds day despite use carbamazepine CR 1200 mg/day, valproic acid 1500 mg/day and clobazam 60 mg/day. Video encephalogram demonstrated severe cortical...
The behavioral variant of Frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) has typically a progressive course with cognitive and changes that manifests between 50 70 years. Very early-onset bvFTD rapid progression is rare syndrome under the frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) umbrella been associated variety protein deposition genetic mutations. We present case 24-year-old man who developed symptoms progressed severe impairment functional loss within months. Genetic testing identified uncertain...
