A further clue may be enlargement of the liver and spleen (present in about one 30–90% of cases) 11, 21 and, in children, neonatal jaundice (present in half of the patients). [e-jmd.org]

  • Excitement

    Pascual is interested in the molecular mechanisms that cause inherited metabolic and excitability disorders using electrophysiology and nuclear magnetic resonance both in human subjects and in models of human diseases. [books.google.com]

    The abnormal movements are increased by excitement and, at least initially, abolished by sleep. The musculature is hypertonic when in action, hypotonic when at rest. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

    Excitement worsens the conditions and sleep abolishes it. To date, at least 12 types of primary dystonia can be distinguished on genetic basis. [neuroweb.us]

  • Tic Disorder

    CONCLUSIONS: Adult onset tic disorders represent an underrecognised condition that is more common than generally appreciated or reported [7]. [wikigenes.org]

  • Neurofibrillary Tangle

    Tau pathology of Alzheimer type (neurofibrillary tangles, neuropil threads and abnormal neurites) was mild in the temporal cortex but was not observed in subcortical regions. [karger.com]

  • Gliosis

    Semiquantitative assessment of neuronal loss and gliosis was performed using HE staining, GFAP and α-internexin IHC, respectively. [karger.com]

Specifically written to aid understanding and treatment of a wide range of movement disorders, this textbook includes a useful section covering miscellaneous causes of disordered movement, which are routinely encountered by neurologists. [books.google.com]

Adult onset IGE shares many features with "classical" IGE, including EEG findings and prognosis, and is likely to represent a genetic epilepsy [31]. [wikigenes.org]

The prognosis is usually bad with survival rates less than a few years after onset. [neuroweb.us]

Etiology DYT6 is caused by mutations in the THAP1 gene (on chromosome 8). Genetic counseling DYT6 is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

[…] the head, neck, and tongue and often occurs as an adverse effect of a medication. dystonia Neurology Involuntary, often acute movement and prolonged contraction of one or more muscles, resulting in twisting body motions, tremor, and abnormal posture Etiology [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Secondary dystonia includes a heterogenous group of etiologies including inherited (with and without brain degeneration) and acquired neurologic disorders. [emedicine.medscape.com]

By etiology Primary (idiopathic) dystonia: may be familial ( Table 5.2 ) 7–30 or sporadic. In the pure dystonic syndromes, dystonia is the main and only clinical sign (except for dystonic tremor). [neupsykey.com]

Notwithstanding a potential role of the NE in the etiology of torsion dystonia, it remains possible that the disease results from altered torsinA interactions with substrates in the peripheral ER. [pnas.org]

Results : Crude annual prevalence of primary torsion dystonia estimated in this study is significantly lower than most reported epidemiological findings on prevalence. [savvysciencepublisher.com]

Summary Epidemiology It has been reported in two Amish-Mennonite families. Clinical description Adolescent and early-adult onset have been reported (average age of onset 19 years). The disease rarely progresses to generalized dystonia. [orpha.net]

This DNA vaccine has the potential to be a safe and effective therapy to prevent Alzheimer disease. He described Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), an autosomal dominant ataxia, with William Nyhan, M.D. Ph.D, in 1976, for the first time. [books.google.com]

Should antidepressant therapy worsen dystonia, changing to a different class of drug, or adding in an anticholinergic may, minimise/prevent exacerbation of dystonia. [ispub.com]

Pyridoxine should be added to prevent anemia. The most worrisome side effect is the precipitant worsening in a patient's neurologic status after initiating penicillamine therapy. [neuroweb.us]

After injection into a muscle, the action of botulinum toxin is to interrupt nerve messages to the muscle, preventing the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which stimulates muscular contractions, and giving rise to weakness of that muscle [rarediseases.org]
