Presentation
The medical section provides a starting point for assessing and treating patients who present with a movement disorder and guides practitioners through the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and work up of all major disease categories. [books.google.com]
Dysphagia is present and Rombergism and pseudoathetosis are observed. NCVs and nerve biopsy reveal demyelinating and axonal features. Anti-GD1b or GQ1b (consistently present) antibodies, IgM paraproteins and cold agglutinins are present. [neuroweb.us]
Cerebellar atrophy (especially of the vermis) is present in all affected individuals. Additional reported manifestations include seizures, mild brain atrophy, mild hypercholesterolemia and borderline hypoalbuminemia. [monarchinitiative.org]
These patients present with gait ataxia usually with headache and papilledema. Progressive hydrocephalus can also present with subacute-onset ataxia. [jpgmonline.com]
Strabismus and nystagmus are present in a significant proportion of patients. Optokinetic nystagmus is impaired. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Blurred Vision
When the nerves in your vestibular system wear away, you can have the following problems: Blurred vision and other eye issues Nausea and vomiting Problems standing and sitting Staggering when you walk Trouble walking in a straight line Vertigo, or dizziness [webmd.com]
Workup

Cholesterol Increased
Increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels Low levels of LDL and VLDL Low triglyceride levels DNA mutation analysis Treatment High-dose supplementation of vitamin E has a beneficial effect on neurologic symptoms. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
This is a quick-access, pocket-sized guide to the diagnosis and treatment of all major movement disorders. [books.google.com]
Consistent with earlier in vitro studies, we show that the H493R Tdp1 mutant protein retains residual activity and becomes covalently trapped on the DNA after CPT treatment of SCAN1 cells. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Treatment Options: There is no beneficial treatment for the neurological disease but physical therapy, speech therapy, and sometimes special education can be helpful. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Favorable prognosis is indicated by preserved action potential preserved R1 or reappearance of R1 after 3 weeks. About 15% of patients will have permanent sequelae. [neuroweb.us]

Etiology
In 183 short chapters, the book provides the essentials clinicians need on symptoms/signs, diagnostic tests, and neurologic disorders of all etiologies. For this edition, Timothy A. [books.google.com]
They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]
Etiology • Degenerative – MSA, Progressive myoclonic epilepsy • Stroke – cerebellar, thalamic, brainstem, pontomedullary junction, lesions causing ataxic hemiparesis • Tumors- Medulloblastoma, Astrocytoma, Ependymoma, Hemangioblastoma, Metastasis, Meningioma [slideshare.net]
Hereditary cerebellar ataxias are a clinically, pathologically, and etiologically heterogeneous group of disorders [ 1, 2 ]. [e-jmd.org]
Moreover, increased intracellular Ca 2 , which promotes transglutaminase activation, is of vital importance in the etiology of neurologic diseases. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and molecular study of a cohort of 102 patients affected with autosomal recessive progressive cerebellar ataxia from Alsace, Eastern France: implications for clinical management. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
In a review on the global epidemiology of hereditary ataxias published in this journal in 2014, it has been reported that spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is considered to be absent in Italy [ 1 ]. [karger.com]

Pathophysiology
Academic clinicians, translational researchers and basic scientists are brought together to connect experimental findings made in different animal models to the clinical features, pathophysiology and treatment of human movement disorders. [books.google.com]
Our results suggest that the pathophysiology of tetraparesis in MFS differs from that in GBS. 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [scinapse.io]
In this review, we summarise the clinical, genetic and pathophysiological features of this condition, and the investigations used in its diagnosis. [acnr.co.uk]

Prevention
Moreover, defects in processing or preventing double-strand breaks during DNA replication are most probably associated with increased genetic instability and cancer, phenotypes not observed in SCAN1 (ref. 8). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Now, a team of researchers led by Sherif El-Khamisy from the University of Sussex and Ain Shams University in Cairo has found that the addition of a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) group to helps repair DNA damage, which might prevent cell death. [natureasia.com]
However, in SCA3 ‘Disease’, polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-3 may sequester PNKP in aggregates to prevent PKNP-mediated DNA repair activity (lower left). [journals.plos.org]
