Tetrabenazine for the treatment of hyperkinetic movement disorders: a review of the literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Tetrabenazine (TBZ) is a monoamine storage inhibitor that was first introduced in the 1970s for the management of hyperkinetic movement disorders. Despite acceptance and usage worldwide, TBZ was only recently approved in the United States for the treatment of Huntington chorea. This

The pathophysiology of McArdle's disease: clues to regulation in exercise and fatigue.

Only registered users can translate articles

Muscle phosphorylase deficiency (McArdle's disease) has conventionally been considered a disorder of glycogenolysis, and the associated impairment in oxidative metabolism has been largely overlooked. Muscle glycogen normally is the primary oxidative fuel at exercise work loads requiring more than

Vocal fold paresis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vocal fold paresis (VFP) is a relatively common and often overlooked condition that can be difficult to diagnose based on the laryngeal examination alone. A retrospective review of the records of 50 consecutive adult patients with VFP was performed. In each case, the diagnosis of VFP was confirmed

Aripiprazole augmentation in patients with resistant obsessive compulsive disorder: a pilot study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Antipsychotic augmentation is an effective treatment intervention for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) patients resistant to Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) agents. This pilot study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of Aripiprazole for the

Late onset of atypical paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia with remote history of Graves' disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia (PNKD) is a rare hyperkinetic movement disorder and falls under the category of paroxysmal movement disorders. In this condition, episodes are spontaneous, involuntary, and involve dystonic posturing with choreic and ballistic movements. Attacks last for minutes

Paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia caused by the mutation of MR-1 in a large Polish kindred.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia (PNKD) is a clinical syndrome of sudden involuntary movements, mostly of dystonic type, which may be triggered by alcohol or coffee intake, stress and fatigue. The attacks of PNKD may consist of various combinations of dystonia, chorea, athetosis and balism.

Only registered users can translate articles

High cardiac output failure/state (HCOF) is regular feature of some illnesses e.g. thiamine deficiency, hyperthyroidism, severe anemia, Paget's disease or arteriovenous fistulae. HCOF in multiple myeloma is reported quite rarely. 31-year-old man was admitted because of fatigue, dyspnea and

A novel XK gene mutation in a Taiwanese family with McLeod syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

McLeod syndrome is one subtype of rare neuroacanthocytosis syndromes characterized by misshapen red blood cells and progressive degeneration of the basal ganglia. It is an X-linked recessive disorder with mutation in the XK gene of the Kell blood group system with multisystem involvements.

[Food allergy and other adverse reactions caused by food].

Only registered users can translate articles

Adverse reactions to foods are not infrequent. They may be mediated by immunological mechanisms (food allergy) or non-immunologically (idiosyncrasy, pseudo-allergy, intolerance). Furthermore toxic effects of foods have to be clearly distinguished from food allergy as well as poorly defined

[Therapy with beta-blocking-agents (author's transl)].

Only registered users can translate articles

Within the last 10 years the indications for a therapeutic regimen with beta-blocking-agents have been differentiated: coronary heart disease with angina pectoris (interval regimen), essential hypertension, especially in younger persons; hyperkinetic heart syndrome; thyreotoxikosis, symptomatic

The gene for paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia encodes an enzyme in a stress response pathway.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia (PNKD) is characterized by spontaneous hyperkinetic attacks that are precipitated by alcohol, coffee, stress and fatigue. We report mutations in the myofibrillogenesis regulator 1 (MR-1) gene causing PNKD in 50 individuals from eight families. The mutations

High flow variant postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome amplifies the cardiac output response to exercise in adolescents.

Only registered users can translate articles

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by chronic fatigue and dizziness and affected individuals by definition have orthostatic intolerance and tachycardia. There is considerable overlap of symptoms in patients with POTS and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), prompting

Identification of subgroups among fibromyalgia patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

This paper presents some hypotheses concerning the identification of homogeneous subgroups among fibromyalgia (FM) patients in order to improve the management of the disease. It also reviews the available literature about this subject. Three methods for subgrouping are discussed according to

Double-blind randomised trial of the antiemetic efficacy and safety of ondansetron and metoclopramide in advanced breast cancer patients treated with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ondansetron was compared with metoclopramide for antiemetic efficacy in a randomised double-blind trial in 122 patients with advanced breast cancer. All patients were treated with epirubicin (greater than 50 mg/m2) and cyclophosphamide (greater than 500 mg/m2). 50 patients receiving ondansetron and

Sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy: prevalence, impact and management strategies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE), previously called nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE), is a focal epilepsy characterized by asymmetric tonic/dystonic posturing and/or complex hyperkinetic seizures occurring mostly during sleep. SHE fulfills the definition of rare disease with an
