TL;DR: Sex-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP) was reported by Lee et al. in 1975 occurring endemically in Panay, Philippines and to date, no treatment has been proven consistently effective.

TL;DR: The finding of disease-specific variants occurring in complete linkage disequilibrium raises new insights and intriguing questions about the origin of the disease haplotype, the existence of phenocopies and of reduced penetrance, and the causative genetic alteration in XDP.

TL;DR: Local monitoring of Shigella for antimicrobial resistance will provide local clinicians with the best guidance for effective empiric treatments, as well as identify risk factors for resistance.

TL;DR: The present study confirms striatal atrophy in XDP and provides evidence for a strong involvement of the white matter and the pallidum and calls into question the previously held concept of exclusive striatal atrocphy in this unique movement disorder.

TL;DR: Community-based outbreaks of meningococcal disease are difficult to control, and the decision to vaccinate is not straightforward, current national guidelines for implementing a vaccination campaign cannot be expected to accommodate the myriad of factors that occur in community-based invasive meningitis disease outbreaks.
