Movement disorder emergencies in the elderly--such as rigidity, dystonia, hyperkinetic movements, and psychiatric disturbances--are challenging to manage. Many case, are iatrogenic. In theory, some cases could be avoidedby anticipating them and by avoiding polypharmacy and potentially dangerous drug interactions.

Introduction: Spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a major cause of movement disorders in pediatric rehabilitation. Current treatments are often invasive and may lead to substantial discomfort. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) presents a potential alternative, offering a less invasive approach with a reduced side effect profile.

Introduction: Intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) and intraoperative test stimulation may provide vital information for optimal electrode placement and clinical outcome in movement disorders patients treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). The aims of this retrospective study were to determine (i) how often the planned (imaging based) placements of electrodes were changed due to MER and intraoperative test stimulation in Parkinson's disease (PD), dystonia and essential tremor (ET) patients; (ii) whether the frequency of repositioning changed over time; (iii) whether patients' age or disease duration (in PD) influenced the frequency of repositioning.
Methods: Data on the planned and the final placement of 141 electrodes in 72 consecutive DBS treated patients (52 PD, 11 dystonia, 9 ET) was collected over the first 8 years of DBS implementation in a single center.
A Pilot Trial of Tongue Reconstruction Using the Chimeric Innervated Vastus Lateralis Muscle and Antero-Lateral Thigh Free Flap.
Head Neck

Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, Sydney, Australia.
Background: Subtotal and total glossectomies for advanced tongue cancer result in significant speech- and swallow-related morbidity, impairing quality of life. This prospective pilot study compares the safety and functional outcomes associated with using a chimeric innervated muscle and fasciocutaneous flap for soft tissue reconstruction.
Materials And Methods: A prospective, non-randomized controlled pilot study evaluated a standardized technique for tongue reconstruction using a chimeric innervated vastus lateralis muscle and anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous flap.
EMDR Interventions in Refugees and Asylum Seekers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Clin Psychol Psychother

Faculty of Health Sciences, Catholic University of Ávila, Ávila, Spain.
Both refugees and asylum seekers exhibit poorer mental health and higher rates of mental disorders, particularly posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for which EMDR therapy has been shown to be effective. This review analyses the efficacy of EMDR in reducing PTDS in refugees or asylum seekers using randomized controlled studies (RCTs). A systematic review and meta-analysis published in PROSPERO (CRD42024595506) using the databases PubMed, PsycINFO and Web of Science were conducted.

Slow transit constipation (STC) is a colonic motor disorder characterized by a marked delay in the movement of substances through the colon. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a treasure trove of natural compounds, which is effective in treating constipation with relatively minor side effects. Zengye decoction (ZYD), a classic herbal formula in TCM, is used for moistening the intestines and relieving constipation.
