OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to assess whether and how frequently patients with acute first-ever stroke exhibit gustatory dysfunction.
METHODS
We performed a 1-year prospective observational study. Gustatory function was assessed using the standardized "taste strips" test. In addition, we
BACKGROUND
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder of tongue, jawbone, trunk and/or limbs that may appear after a prolonged use of dopamine receptor blocking agents (after 3 months of treatment or after 1 month for patients over 60), and that are present during at least four consecutive
Akathisia and tardive dyskinesia are thought to be different entities, while tardive akathisia is considered a variant of akathisia. In the case presented, tardive akathisia first appeared when phenothiazine medication was stopped and then, following a cerebrovascular accident, tardive akathisia
BACKGROUND
It remains unknown whether taste disorders can be a risk factor for micro- and macro-vascular diseases in patients with abnormal glucose tolerance.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study in a nationally representative samples of 848 and 849 US adults (aged ≥40years) with diabetes or prediabetes
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder commonly associated with chronic exposure to antidopaminergic medications, which may be in some cases disfiguring and socially disabling. The consensus from a growing body of research on the incidence and prevalence of TD in the modern era of
Gustatory disorders after ischemic stroke is an uncommon event, generally occurring unilaterally, ipsilateral or contralateral to the stroke depending on the site of the lesion. We report a patient who developed bilateral agueusia after a unilateral insular stroke. This 70-year-old right-handed man
Drugs, either self-administered or prescribed by physicians, can result in substantial neurologic disability in psychiatric patients. It is clear that the use of neuroleptic agents to treat psychiatric illness may result in a variety of tardive movement disorders. Most commonly, these take the form
OBJECTIVE
To describe the case of a woman with poststroke choreoathetosis whose symptoms improved after treatment with tetrabenazine.
METHODS
A 48-year-old left-handed woman developed progressive involuntary dystonic choreoathetoid movements of her arm following a cerebrovascular event. Involuntary
Dystonia is a syndrome characterized by sustained muscle contraction, provoking twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. It may be classified according to etiology, as idiopathic or symptomatic. We studied 122 Brazilian patients with a dystonic syndrome. Of these, 46 (37.7%) had
This chapter reviews the spectrum and mechanisms of neurologic adverse effects of commonly used gastrointestinal drugs including antiemetics, promotility drugs, laxatives, antimotility drugs, and drugs for acid-related disorders. The commonly used gastrointestinal drugs as a group are considered
Recent concerns regarding the use of atypical antipsychotics when used for the treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia have led to a flurry of studies attempting to re-evaluate their place in therapy. We critically review current evidence on the safety profiles of these agents in patients
Affective illness is common, frequently debilitating, and sometimes life-threatening in the elderly. Considerations pertaining to treatment with heterocyclic drugs, MAOIs, lithium, psychostimulants and thyroid hormone, as well as ECT, have been reviewed. Amitriptyline and imipramine cause
Involuntary mouthing movements indistinguishable from neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia followed stroke in a woman whose computed tomographic (CT) scan showed bilateral thalamo-capsular infarction.
The success of the low affinity use-dependent NMDA receptor antagonists to reach clinical trials can be readily attributed to their wider margins of safety and lack of neurotoxicity at higher doses. Several mechanistic differences distinguish the low affinity from the high affinity use-dependent
