ABSTRACT Background Understanding real‐world experiences is crucial in determining the potential gaps patient‐centered healthcare dystonia. We explored challenges of people with dystonia (PwD) at stages diagnosis and botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) treatment. Methods A multicenter survey was conducted face‐to‐face across seven university hospitals Turkey. PwD receiving BoNT treatment for least 6 months were invited. Data on demographics, diagnostic journeys, collected analyzed using descriptive...

Numerous studies on the genetic pathogenesis of familial Parkinson's Disease (PD) have explained etiology only a limited percentage cases. In this study, we aimed to identify copy number variations (CNVs) in patients with PD compared their healthy siblings. Genomic microarray analysis was performed using CytoScan HD array platform, and paired variation Partek Genomics Suite. A total 211 CNVs were detected (genomic markers per CNV>10, base pair >0.0005). Genes localized CNV regions enriched...

Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) and Dyskinesia (UDysRS) were developed as standard tools to rate disease (PD) drug-induced dyskinesias of PD. As these scales have become widely used, there is a need for translation non-English languages. Here we present the standardization Turkish translations.The translated into then back-translated English. These back-translations reviewed by MDS team. After cognitive pretesting, movement disorder specialists...

Abstract Background and Aim: The presence of apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele is being considered as a risk factor for cognitive decline after cardiac surgery. We sought the effect on neurobehavioral status on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.Prior to operation, neurologic examination test (COGNISTAT) were performed. Both procedures repeated day discharge 3 months Apolipoprotein positive negative patients' performance COGNISTAT compared.There was no statistically significant demographic...

Myoclonic status epilepticus (MSE) is defined as prolonged period of myoclonic jerks that are correlated with epileptiform discharges on EEG. We here describe clinical features and video-EEG records six adult patients MSE who did not have a prior diagnosis epilepsy. In four out patients, was precipitated by drugs. Two had chronic renal disease received beta lactam group antibiotics. other described pain, developed while taking pregabalin. One patient dementia family history juvenile epilepsy...

We sought to characterize a cohort of participants with swallow-induced syncope (SIS) clinical and electrophysiologic evaluations.Using electrocardiographic monitoring neurophysiologic methods swallowing, we evaluated 5 patients SIS, 4 whom had longitudinal follow-up.We determined electrophysiologically that the duration between onset swallow bradyarrhythmia or asystole is extremely short (2-3 seconds) in SIS. Most SIS do not have neurologic esophageal disorder. can occur different food...

ABSTRACTABSTRACTTardive dyskinesia (TD) is a severe complication of antipsychotic treatment. Pramipexole can be effective in the treatment TD due to its D3 dopamine receptor agonist effect. Studies conducted bipolar depression and treatment-resistant (TRD), support antidepressant effect pramipexole. Here we present case 55 year-old female. For depression, she received antidepressants, anxiolytics antipsychotics for 2.5 years. When bruxism, fidgeting, serious functional impairment emerged,...
