Clinical symptoms and possible anticipation in a large kindred of familial restless legs syndromeMovement Disorders - Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 389-394 - 1996
Marco Túlio de Mello, Victor Collado Seidel, Thomas Gasser, Wolfgang H. Oertel
AbstractIdiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS) frequently follows an autosomal dominant inheritance with a variable clinical expressivity of symptoms. We describe the largest German kindred of familial RLS with 20 affected and investigated members in four generations with a variety of clinical symptoms. Patients were examined clinically, and polysomnography was pe...... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe objective of this study was to use phase imaging to evaluate brain iron content in patients with idiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS).MethodsFifteen RLS patients and 15 healthy controls were studied using gradient‐echo imaging. Phase analysis w...... hiện toàn bộ
Systematic review of severity scales and screening instruments for tics: Critique and recommendationsMovement Disorders - Tập 32 Số 3 - Trang 467-473 - 2017

ABSTRACTBackground: Several clinician, informant, and self‐report instruments for tics and associated phenomena have been developed that differ in construct, comprehensiveness, and ease of administration.Objective: A Movement Disorders Society subcommittee aimed to rate psychometric quality of severity ...... hiện toàn bộ
Restless legs in Tourette syndromeMovement Disorders - Tập 19 Số 9 - Trang 1084-1087 - 2004

AbstractRestless legs syndrome (RLS) and Tourette's syndrome (TS) share some common features, including the phenomenology of sensations relieved by movements, but few studies have examined the links between RLS and TS. We examined RLS and other TS comorbidities in 144 probands with TS or chronic tics and their parents. RLS was present in 10% of probands and 23% of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Premonitory sensory phenomenon in Tourette's syndromeMovement Disorders - Tập 18 Số 12 - Trang 1530-1533 - 2003
Carolyn Glass, Kevin Dat Vuong, Joseph Jankovic
AbstractWe administered a questionnaire designed to probe for premonitory sensations associated with motor tics to 50 patients with Tourette's syndrome (TS). Premonitory sensations were reported by 46 (92%) patients, and the most common sensation was an urge to move and an impulse to tic (“had to do it”). Intensification of premonitory sensations, if prevented from...... hiện toàn bộ
Deficits in rapid adjustments of movements according to task constraints in Parkinson's diseaseMovement Disorders - Tập 19 Số 8 - Trang 897-906 - 2004
Eugene Tunik, Sergei V. Adamovich, Howard Poizner, Anatol G. Feldman
AbstractThe role of the basal ganglia in the adaptive control of movement was investigated by unexpectedly perturbing movements in 8 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) tested off medication and in 6 aged‐matched healthy subjects. Subjects performed two movement components simultaneously and without visual feedback: touching the nose with the finger while leanin...... hiện toàn bộ
Kappa‐opioid receptor agonists increase locomotor activity in the monoamine‐depleted rat model of parkinsonismMovement Disorders - Tập 13 Số 2 - Trang 228-233 - 1998
Neill Hughes, A.T. McKnight, G.N. Woodruff, Michael P. Hill, Alan R. Crossman, Jonathan M. Brotchie
AbstractExcessive glutamate transmission in the basal ganglia is a major factor in the neural mechanisms underlying parkinsonian akinesia. Activation of K opioid receptors causes a presynaptic reduction in glutamate release. K opioid receptors are concentrated in those regions of the basal ganglia associated with increased glut...... hiện toàn bộ
Amantadine reduces levodopa‐induced dyskinesias in parkinsonian monkeysMovement Disorders - Tập 13 Số 5 - Trang 798-802 - 1998
Pierre J. Blanchet, Spyridon Konitsiotis, Thomas N. Chase
AbstractThe antidyskinetic potential of the glutamate NMDA receptor channel blocker amantadine was evaluated in four levodopa‐primed parkinsonian monkeys using two different regimens (1.25 or 2.5 mg/kg administered subcutaneously twice daily for 3–6 days). When administered with a relatively low dose of levodopa, amantadine produced a near‐total suppression of chor...... hiện toàn bộ
Prevalence and Incidence of Huntington's Disease: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta‐AnalysisMovement Disorders - Tập 37 Số 12 - Trang 2327-2335 - 2022
Alex Medina, Yasamin Mahjoub, Larry Shaver, Tamara Pringsheim
ABSTRACTThe incidence and prevalence of Huntington's disease (HD) based on a systematic review and meta‐analysis of 20 studies published from 1985 to 2010 was estimated at 0.38 per 100,000 person‐years (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.16–0.94) and 2.71 per 100,000 persons (95% CI, 1.55–4.72), respectively. Since 2010, there have been many new epidemiological studie...... hiện toàn bộ
