Abstract:

Recently separate control systems for postural and movement control have been found in primates. Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder and its cause it not well understood. We have observed that dystonia patients have preserved fine movement control, but difficulty maintaining the appropriate and sustained posture that supports these movements. Postural control requires multiple modalities of sensory input such as cutaneous, proprioceptive, vestibular and visual stimuli. Through clinical observation, dystonia is improved by sensory alteration. Sensorimotor integration dysfunction has be

Abstract:

L’identification des muscles responsables des dystonies focales est un prérequis à l’instauration des traitements par toxine botulique et exercices correcteurs. A partir de deux dystonies apparemment dissemblables: la crampe de l’écrivain et la dystonie cervicale, nous avons montré que la réponse aux traitements est tributaire de la distribution des muscles impliqués. L’enregistrement des mouvements du segment tête-cou dans la dystonie cervicale , au moyen de capteurs inertiels 3-D, a montré qu’au mouvement volontaire de la tête, dans un plan, s’associent des mouvements non physiologiques dans

Abstract:

Dystonia is a group of debilitating neurological movement disorders characterised by abnormal sustained or intermittent involuntary co-contraction of opposing muscle groups. While some forms of dystonia are caused by rare genetic mutations or acquired following a toxic or physical injury or other cause, the majority of cases arise with no clear aetiology. It is thought that these idiopathic dystonias manifest following a complex interaction between genetic susceptibility and non-genetic triggers. The inherited and idiopathic forms of dystonia share a number of symptomatic and physiological sim

Abstract:

I compared the rate of psychiatric comorbidity in children with Non-tic movement disorders to children with tics and TS. In addition, this PhD explores whether children with Non-tic movement disorders have elevated rates of psychiatry compared to other hospital populations, including Emergency patients and other Neurology patients, as well as a healthy community control group. My hypothesis was that children with Non-tic movement disorders would have rates of psychiatric comorbidities that are similar to children with tics and TS.To examine this hypothesis, I recruited children between the age

<b>Aims:</b> The overall aim of this research was to increase the knowledge about dystonia by identifying factors that influence self-reported quality of life and health in this disorder and to determine what factors predict disability. A further aim was to develop an objective outcome measure for quantifying the movement dysfunction in cervical dystonia (CD) and evaluate effects of physiotherapy. <b>Methods:</b> A descriptive correlative design was adopted for study I (n=351), with a questionnaire covering physical activity, satisfaction with treatment, physiotherapy or not, and quality of li

Abstract:

Myoclonus-Dystonia (MD) is an inherited, rare, autosomal dominant movement disorder characterized by quick, involuntary muscle jerking or twitching (myoclonus) and involuntary muscle contractions that cause twisting and pulling movements, resulting in abnormal postures (dystonia). The first MD locus was mapped to 7q21-q31 and called DYT11; this locus corresponds to the SGCE gene. Our group previously identified a second MD locus (DYT15) which maps to a 3.18 Mb region on 18p11. Two patients were chosen to undergo next-generation sequencing, which identified 2,292 shared novel variants within th

This paper considers the role of the human body in Octavia E. Butler’s The Parable of theSower and the way it interacts with defined space to stage expressive forms of politicalopposition. Understanding the relationship between physical or metaphorical space and thecontradictions of the societies they encompass is crucial to deciphering Butler’s near-futuredystopia; a world where the problems of real-life Los Angeles and Southern California aredistorted into a gross carnivalesque of gender stereotypes, sociopolitical tensions, and vigilante warfare.

Abstract:

Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dystonia are movement disorders related to dysfunctions of basal ganglia (BG). Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and internal globus pallidus (GPi) are treatments for PD and dystonia. Previous research indicated that abnormally elevated oscillatory activities at the theta (3-10 Hz) beta frequency bands (11-30 Hz) may be related to parkinsonian and dystonic motor symptoms but their precise roles are not well understood. Recently, DBS of the pedunculopontine nucleus region (PPNR) has been used to treat PD patients with postural and gait dy

Abstract:

Abstract This study outlines a reading of Saramago’s novels as tracing a reflective itinerary into history, questioning the modalities informing a contemporary consciousness, thus acknowledging and re–configuring the past. Through an interpretation of these narratives as ‘voyages into the idea of identity’ it is shown that they reveal a symmetrical pattern tracing the Portuguese national saga from its foundation myth in The History of the Siege of Lisbon to contemporary images of identity in The Stone Raft. In light of this, the analysis examines the subversive narrative strategies employed w
