Pre-DBS modified Tremor/Postural instability and gait difficulty score ratio as indicator of short-term outcome of subthalamic nucleus DBS in Parkinson's disease.

Purpose: The outcomes of motor and non-motor features of Parkinson's disease (PD) following DBS vary among its subtypes. We tested whether pre-operative motor subtyping using the modified Tremor/PIGD ratio, could indicate the short-term motor, non-motor and quality of life (QOL) outcomes of STN-DBS.

Method: In this prospective study, 39 consecutive STN-DBS cases were assessed in Drug-OFF state before surgery and subtyped using the ratio of tremor and PIGD scores (T/P ratio).

Inpatient Pediatric Clinical Consultations to Vascular Surgery within a Children's Hospital.

Introduction: Acute pediatric vascular issues are infrequent and result in a diverse, unpredictable experience for vascular surgeons and trainees. We reviewed the indications for consult and resulting interventions provided by the Vascular Surgery (VS) service at a freestanding Children's Hospital (CH) adjacent to a university hospital.

Methods: Consults to VS at our CH were reviewed over a 4.

Video-oculography for enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of early oculomotor dysfunction in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

Background: Oculomotor impairment is an important diagnostic feature of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and PSP subtypes.

Objectives: We assessed the role of video oculography (VOG) in confirming clinically suspected slow saccades in PSP and differentiating PSP from Parkinson's disease (PD). We also measured the correlation of both saccadic velocity and latency in PSP with scores in PSP rating scale, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Frontal assessment battery (FAB).
