The sharing of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is of utmost importance in the field, as it enables a deeper understanding of facial nerve-related pathologies. However, there is a significant lack of multi-modal neuroimaging databases specifically focused on these conditions, which hampers our comprehensive knowledge of the neural foundations of facial paralysis. To address this critical gap and propel advancements in this area, we have released the Multimodal Neuroimaging Dataset of Meige Syndrome, Facial Paralysis, and Healthy Controls (MND-MFHC).

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the real experiences of patients with Meige Syndrome, which is an idiopathic dystonia, during the perioperative period and to explore the practical application and effectiveness of Individual and Family Self-Management Theory (IFSMT) in improving patient experiences.

Methods: A qualitative descriptive research methodology was employed to elucidate the intricate psychological and social experiences encountered by patients with Meige Syndrome throughout the perioperative phase. This study conduct face-to-face, one-on-one, semi-structured interviews with 16 Meige Syndrome patients to gain an in-depth understanding of the patients' true feelings and needs.

Department of Ophthalmology, Shiley Eye Institute, Division of Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, UC San Diego.

Article Synopsis
  • Benign essential blepharospasm is a type of focal dystonia that causes involuntary eyelid contractions, often treated with botulinum toxin type A but can become less effective over time.
  • A 57-year-old male with severe symptoms saw improved results after receiving a new treatment, daxibotulinumtoxinA, following unsuccessful high-dose treatments with other botulinum toxins.
  • The patient reported faster symptom relief and longer-lasting effects, with 50% to 75% efficacy maintained at three months, indicating daxibotulinumtoxinA could be a promising option for those resistant to standard treatments.

Pathogenic variants in ATP1A3 encoding the neuronal Na/K-ATPase cause a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders including alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC). Three recurrent ATP1A3 variants are associated with approximately half of known AHC cases and mouse models of two of these variants (p.D801N, p.
