Delayed therapy escape (DTE) is frequent after thalamic deep brain stimulation for essential tremor, leading to reduced quality of life, often with ataxic symptoms, and early recognition is challenging. Our goal was to examine whether a low-frequency rebound tremor of the left hand after switching off stimulation is useful as a diagnostic marker for DTE. In this cross-sectional study with additional retrospective analysis, we examined 31 patients with bilateral thalamic DBS ≥ 12 months for essential tremor, using quantitative assessments including video-based motion capture, Fahn-Tolosa-Marin Tremor Rating Scale (FTMTRS), and scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia (SARA).

This study assessed the analgesic and motor effects of the GIN-TONIC block, a combination of the greater ischiatic notch plane block and the caudal lateral quadratus lumborum block, in 24 dogs undergoing pelvic limb surgery. Dogs were randomly divided into two equal groups: G received acepromazine [(20 µg kg intravenously (IV)] as premedication, and G received dexmedetomidine (2 µg kg IV). General anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane, and both groups received a GIN-TONIC block using 2% lidocaine.

A 19-year-old student developed hypoventilation and cyanosis at the end of a cosmetic liposuction procedure. She was awake, but severely abulic, disoriented, and unable to stand and walk due to severe locomotor ataxia. Neuropsychological evaluation showed psychomotor slowness, and deficits in memory encoding and retrieval, and on executive, and visuospatial and visuoperceptual tests; oral comprehension and constructional praxis were spared.
