Background Preventable medical harm is a leading cause of death in the United States. Incident reporting systems have been identified as primary method to capture error and harm. Incidents are rarely reported, particularly among physician trainees. Methods We conducted single-center, quasi-experimental study examine effect education on importance how file an incident report for trainees rates. Trainees were provided laminated plastic instructions, was reinforced with weekly patient safety...
Essential tremor (ET) is a movement disorder that affects 4%-5% of adults >65 years. For patients with medically refractory ET, neurosurgical interventions such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) and unilateral MR-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy (MRgFUS) are available. In this retrospective cohort study, we examined the demographics ET who have received MRgFUS evaluated trends in DBS usage USA after introduction 2016.
ABSTRACT Introduction : The aim of this study was to determine thymectomy‐associated morbidity and mortality outcomes among myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. Methods Patients undergoing thymectomy were identified from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database 2005 2012 using Current Procedural Terminology codes. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, postoperative stratified by MG diagnosis. Logistic regression used identify predictors for outcomes. chi‐square test...
The differential susceptibility of skeletal muscle by myasthenia gravis (MG) is not well understood. We utilized RNA expression profiling extraocular (EOM), diaphragm (DIA), and extensor digitorum (EDL) rats with experimental autoimmune MG (EAMG) to evaluate the hypothesis that muscles respond differentially injury produced EAMG. EAMG was induced in female Lewis immunization acetylcholine receptor purified from electric organ Torpedo. Six weeks later after had developed weakness serum...
ABSTRACTIntroduction Within clinical neuropsychology, a classic diagnostic distinction is made between cortical and subcortical disorders, especially based on their memory profiles. Typically, this the comparison of recall recognition trials, where individuals with conditions do not tend to benefit (i.e., score well) trials do. Although Repeatable Battery for Assessment Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) widely used brief cognitive battery, there lack evidence support measure's utility in...
Objective:To describe the impact a global pandemic has had on teaching movement disorders program, as well its subsequent transition to telemedicine.Methods:In midst of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we transitioned our fellowship program virtually over course few days. Here parameters used for telemedicine fellow supervised clinic visit 2 months. Fellow's input was obtained from brief survey at end experience. Faculty's experience collected upon independent faculty...
We investigated the effect of levodopa on blood pressure and baroreflex function in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) (PD+OH) without neurogenic OH (PD−OH).
Preoperative MR images obtained in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) often reveal incidental radiographic abnormalities (RAs). These findings range from small changes to gross pathologies. The effect of these on patients' clinical outcomes is unknown. authors characterized RAs PD who underwent DBS and assessed outcomes.
<h3>Objective:</h3> To investigate whether intraoperative recordings of subthalamic nucleus (STN) local field potentials (LFPs) during awake deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease can provide valuable information postoperative DBS programming. <h3>Background:</h3> is a well-established treatment disease. Intraoperative LFP are used to confirm accurate targeting. Postoperative programming usually based on clinical response. It unclear the guide <h3>Design/Methods:</h3>...
Background:
 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has necessitated precautionary measures to prevent the transmission of virus, affecting individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We investigated impact COVID-19 on quality life university students OCD.
 Methods:
 Students validated confirmed diagnosis OCD at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, received two online surveys: Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) approve and 36-Item Short-Form...
Roughly 40 autosomal dominant mutations of the prion protein gene ( PRNP ) cosegregate with familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), fatal insomnia, or Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker (GSS).1,2 Genetic in African Americans is rarely reported. We sequenced coding segment a 43-year-old American woman rapidly progressive dementia and positive family history early onset not previously recognized as genetic disease.
To determine if there are gender differences in distribution of Lewy Body pathology among individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD).

<h3>Objective:</h3> This case presents a patient with cognitive decline and spasticity associated previously unidentified pathogenic variant of presinilin1 (PSEN1). <h3>Background:</h3> Mutations in PSEN1 are the most common cause familial Alzheimer's Disease (AD). highly penetrant autosomal dominant inheritance, presenting at young age often unusual features including spastic paraplegia (SP). We report novel mutation found our that is suspected to be his AD SP. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3>...
Abstract Background Cefepime-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is thought to be a rare toxicity, with an overall incidence of &lt;1%. However, the low may result under-recognition and difficulty in identifying exact etiology hospitalized patients. Among patients suspected CIE, electroencephalograms (EEGs) sometimes show abnormal activity like triphasic waveforms (TPWs). We asked whether EEG findings consistent CIE varies cefepime (CFP) dose relative eGFR (dose/eGFR). also compared these...
