Many inherited metabolic diseases or inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) cause movement disorders in children. This review focuses on chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, tremor, and parkinsonism. Broad neurometabolic categories commonly responsible for pediatric movement disorders include mitochondrial cytopathies, organic acidemias, mineral metabolism and transport disorders, neurotransmitter diseases, purine metabolism abnormalities, lipid storage conditions, and creatine metabolism dysfunction. Each movement disorder can be caused by many IEM and several of them can cause multiple movement abnormalities. Dietary modifications, medications, and increasingly specific therapy can improve outcomes in children with movement disorders caused by IEM. Recognition and characterization of secondary movement disorders in children facilitate their management and diagnosis, and possible treatment of an underlying IEM.

Background And Purpose: We investigated the relationship between serotonergic and dopaminergic specific binding transporter ratios (SBRs) over 4 years in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. We assessed serotonergic innervation's potential compensatory role for dopaminergic denervation, association with PD symptoms, and involvement in the development of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID).
Methods: SBRs of the midbrain and striatum were evaluated from [I-123] N-ω-fluoropropyl-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)nortropane SPECT images at baseline and after 4 years.

The aim is to assess the associations of jaw functional limitation and jaw overuse behavior with pain modified by function as a required diagnostic criterion for painful temporomandibular disorders. This cross-sectional study from the TMJ Impact Project utilized secondary data analyses of 249 participants who met the inclusion criteria of having facial pain in the prior 30 days and valid responses to the pain modified by function (Items 4A-D derived from the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) Symptom Questionnaire). Independent -tests (alpha = 0.

Objectives: To identify a key Long chain non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) related to PD and provide a new perspective on the role of LncRNAs in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathophysiology.
Methods: Our study involved analyzing gene chips from the substantia nigra and white blood cells, both normal and PD-inclusive, in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, utilizing a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The technique of WGCNA facilitated the examination of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the substantia nigra and the white blood cells of individuals with PD.

Background: In clinical practice, creative arts therapy is frequently utilized for the treatment of traumatized adults, with reports of favorable outcomes. However, the effectiveness of this intervention in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment has not yet been definitively established through meta-analysis. In this meta-analysis, we aim to assess the effectiveness of creative arts therapy in the management of PTSD.

Background: Mounting evidence suggests that Parkinson's disease (PD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are closely associated and becoming global health burdens. However, the causal relationships and common pathogeneses between them are uncertain. Furthermore, they are uncurable.
