Background: Treatment of animal models with ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) with nicotinamide riboside (NR) improved their neurological outcome and survival.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of NR in patients with A-T.
Methods: In this open-label, proof-of-concept study, 24 patients with A-T were treated with NR during four consecutive months.
Aim: To investigate the characteristics and severity of dysarthria in children and adults with ataxia telangiectasia.
Method: All children and adults with ataxia telangiectasia who visited our multidisciplinary outpatient clinic for ataxia telangiectasia were asked to participate in this study, which took place in March 2019. To evaluate dysarthria, we used the Radboud Dysarthria Assessment in adults (older than 18y) and the paediatric Radboud Dysarthria Assessment in children (5-18y), including the observational tasks 'conversation' and 'reading', and the speech-related maximum performance tasks 'repetition rate', 'phonation time', 'fundamental frequency range', and 'phonation volume'.
Aims: Long-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the elderly after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unknown. We 1) compared HRQOL of elderly (≥70 years) with younger patients (<70 years) at 6, 12, 36 months post-PCI, and 2) examined whether predictors of impaired HRQOL 36 months post-PCI differed between older and younger patients.
Methods And Results: A prospective cohort of 651 PCI patients (26.
