Memory-Guided Saccades and Non-Motor Symptoms Improve after Botulinum Toxin Therapy in Cervical Dystonia.

Cervical dystonia (CD) is a condition characterized by involuntary activity of cervical muscles, which is often accompanied by various non-motor symptoms. Recent studies indicate impaired saccadic eye movements in CD. Local administration of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A), which causes temporary paralysis of the injected muscle, is the first-line treatment of focal dystonia, including CD.

Bioelectrical impedance analyzes offers clinically relevant appraisal of body composition, but fails to recognize nutritional risk or differences between surgery and percutaneous coronary interventions treatments--a non-randomized cohort.

Our aim was to evaluate the adipose tissue percentage content appraised with BIA in patients recently treated for cardiovascular disorders by means of surgery or percutaneous coronary interventions. Study included 208 consecutive patients, in age range 25-84 years, 176 male and 32 female. There were 108 (51.

Subclavian fusiform aneurysm causing partial subclavian steal syndrome. Case report.

We present a 55-year-old man with repeated transient symptoms of vertebrobasilar arterial pathology. Physical examination detected no signs that would indicate the stenosis of the proximal subclavian artery segment. Ultrasound detected hemodynamic disorder of right vertebral artery, which correspond to a partial subclavian steal syndrome.
