dyskinesias/headache

BACKGROUND Tardive dyskinesia is a persistent movement disorder induced by chronic neuroleptic exposure. NBI-98854 is a novel, highly selective, vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor. We present results of a randomized, 6-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-titration study evaluating

Background: Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (Anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is a serious autoimmune disease in which antibody production against the NMDA receptor results in profound neurotransmitter dysregulation. Patients may present with

We report a 65-year-old woman with progressive multiple cranial neuropathy. She had been suffered from bronchial asthma since 1979 for which prednisolone had been prescribed. She noted an onset of pain around her nose in October, 1989, which extended into the periorbital regions bilaterally. In

A 38-year-old woman had an episode of headache, fever and convulsion in October, 1993. She became alert in two weeks, though weakness and atrophy remained in the upper limb muscles. She was diagnosed as Russian spring summer encephalitis (RSSE) based on several serological studies. Three kinds of

Ritalin® (methylphenidate) is an amphetamine-like prescription stimulant commonly used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and adults. Recently, the recreational use of Ritalin has increased, particularly among young adults. Well-known symptoms of intoxication

BACKGROUND Olanzapine, a thienobenzodiazepine, is a new "atypical" antipsychotic drug. Olanzapine's pharmacologic properties suggest it would be effective for headaches, and its propensity for inducing acute extrapyramidal reactions or tardive dyskinesia is relatively low. We thus decided to assess

BACKGROUND The short-term safety profile of once-daily valbenazine (NBI-98854) has been evaluated in several double-blind, placebo-controlled (DBPC) trials in adults with tardive dyskinesia (TD) who had a diagnosis of schizophrenia/schizoaffective (SCHZ) disorder or mood disorder. Studies with

Asterixis is not yet considered a common neurological sign of cerebellum infarction, and the pathogenic mechanism for asterixis remains elusive. We report a 58-year-old male with moderate hypertension who presented to our emergency department for acute headache in both cervical and occipital regions

It is widely believed that hemiballismus and chorea are suggestive of a basal ganglia subthalamic nucleus lesion; however, this not a rule. We report the case of a 63-year-old male with complaints of slurred speech, increased movement of the left half of his body, and headache. He had diabetes,

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disease with extensive genetic heterogeneity. Dyskinetic or completely absent motility of cilia predisposes to recurrent pulmonary and upper respiratory tract infections resulting in bronchiectasis. Also infections of the middle ear are

With the aid of a questionnaire form we have gathered information about the clinical picture of patients suffering from primary ciliary dyskinesia. The study group numbered 34 persons, whose diagnosis was confirmed by electron microscopy. Chronic cough and common cold symptoms are present from
