Magnetic Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound Treatment for Essential Tremor: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: Essential tremor is the most common hyperkinetic movement disorder. Magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) has emerged as second-line therapy.

Objective: The aim was to obtain the results of the first 108 patients treated with MRgFUS in Denmark.

High Levels of C5a Are Associated With Reduced Macular Sensitivity in Patients With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms.

Purpose: Previous findings indicate that patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) exhibit elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers and have a high prevalence of AMD. In this study, we aim to determine whether drusen and systemic inflammation in patients with MPN affect macular sensitivity in the same manner as in patients with AMD.

Methods: The study was conducted as a prospective cross-sectional study.

Intelligence and obesity during the obesity epidemic.

Several studies conducted during the last 50 years have shown that lower intelligence is associated with a higher body mass index (BMI). During this period, the prevalence of obesity and overweight has increased considerably. We investigated whether this increase has altered the relation between intelligence and BMI by studying two cohorts of 419,319 conscripts, born 1939-1959 and 1983-2001, examined in the same geographical districts in Denmark.
