Cervical dystonia: improved treatment response to botulinum toxin after referral to a tertiary centre and the use of polymyography.

Rationale: Cervical dystonia is the most common form of (primary) dystonia. The first line of treatment for cervical dystonia is intramuscular injections with botulinum toxin. To optimise the response to botulinum toxin proper muscles selection is required.

Cardiac abnormalities in a follow-up study on carriers of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy.

Objectives: Cardiac involvement has been reported in carriers of dystrophin mutations giving rise to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). The progress of these abnormalities during long-term follow-up is unknown. We describe the long-term follow-up of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in DMD/BMD carriers.
