Background: Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) and the role of postinterventional anticoagulation often evokes controversy in daily practice. This study aimed to evaluate LAAC in patients with non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation, high thromboembolic risk and contraindications for long-term anticoagulation in a clinical scenario.
Methods: Between 2010-2015, LAAC was attempted in 118 patients (47 women).
Instrumental gait analysis is increasingly recognized as a useful tool for the evaluation of movement disorders. The various assessment devices available to date have mostly been evaluated in healthy populations only. We aimed to explore whether reliability and validity seen in healthy subjects can also be assumed in subjects with cerebellar ataxic gait.

- Reviewers agree that current dystonia rating scales need to be more comprehensive, leading to the development of a video-based severity ranking system to create a standard for validation without clinical scales.
- In a study with 34 patients and 2 controls, raters assessed videos of movement tasks, achieving strong inter-rater agreement and correlating video rankings with clinical scales, especially for non-tremor patients.
- Findings suggest video rankings may better capture the severity of dystonia, highlighting a possible gap in traditional clinical assessments, particularly in those with tremor symptoms.
