Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of genetic variants associated with Huntington's disease progression: a genome-wide association study

Davina J. Hensman Moss, +734 more
- 01 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: A novel measure of disease progression and a genome-wide significant signal on chromosome 5 spanning three genes: MSH3, DHFR, and MTRNR2L2 is generated, suggesting this mechanism as an area for future therapeutic investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence-based review and assessment of botulinum neurotoxin for the treatment of movement disorders.

TL;DR: An expert panel reviewed evidence from the published literature to assess the efficacy and safety of BoNT injections for the treatment of certain movement disorders and made recommendations for each therapeutic indication, based upon the strength of clinical evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Facing depression with botulinum toxin: A randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: This study shows that a single treatment of the glabellar region with botulinum toxin may shortly accomplish a strong and sustained alleviation of depression in patients, who did not improve sufficiently on previous medication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain parenchyma sonography discriminates Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonian syndromes

TL;DR: Brain parenchyma sonography is a novel and noninvasive method to differentiate highly specifically between IPD and APS and might become a standard investigation in parkinsonian disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcranial brain sonography findings in discriminating between parkinsonism and idiopathic Parkinson disease.

TL;DR: Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of transcranial brain sonography in indicating an atypical parkinsonian syndrome rather than idiopathic PD in patients with sporadic parkinsonism are studied.
