Neurological disorders may be seen in end-stage renal disease patients due to uraemia or to complications of dialysis. A dysequilibrium syndrome may be seen, usually soon after or towards the end of haemodialysis. This group of patients has no particular findings on MRI. On the other hand, the osmotic demyelination syndrome has definitive MRI findings, not to date reported with the dysequilibrium syndrome. We report a patient with end-stage renal disease and the dysequilibrium syndrome who showed findings of osmotic demyelination on MRI. The patient had a convulsion after a first haemodialysis, with quadriparesis and hyperactive deep tendon reflexes and bilateral Babinski signs. The upper motor neurone signs lasted for a week. Meanwhile, he was also dysarthric and had dysphagia. He recovered neurologically without any residuum following appropriate treatment and there was improvement on MRI.

Structural and functional properties of the N- and C-terminal segments of the P4-ATPase phospholipid flippase ATP8A2.

ATP8A2 is a P4-ATPase that actively flips phosphatidylserine and to a lesser extent phosphatidylethanolamine across cell membranes to generate and maintain transmembrane phospholipid asymmetry. The importance of this flippase is evident in the finding that loss-of-function mutations in ATP8A2 are known to cause the neurodevelopmental disease known as cerebellar ataxia, intellectual disability, and dysequilibrium syndrome 4 (CAMRQ4) in humans and related neurodegenerative disorders in mice. Although significant progress has been made in understanding mechanisms underlying phospholipid binding and transport across the membrane domain, little is known about the structural and functional properties of the cytosolic N- and C-terminal segments of this flippase.

Background: Dialysis dysequilibrium syndrome (DDS) refers to neurological symptoms usually seen during or after new initiation or following reinitiation of haemodialysis (HD) after missing multiple sessions. DDS is associated with death and morbidity. We studied interventions aimed at preventing DDS.

Background: Based on a limited number of reported families, biallelic CA8 variants have currently been associated with a recessive neurological disorder named, cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation, and dysequilibrium syndrome 3 (CAMRQ-3).
Objectives: We aim to comprehensively investigate CA8-related disorders (CA8-RD) by reviewing existing literature and exploring neurological, neuroradiological, and molecular observations in a cohort of newly identified patients.
Methods: We analyzed the phenotype of 27 affected individuals from 14 families with biallelic CA8 variants (including data from 15 newly identified patients from eight families), ages 4 to 35 years.
The effects of response disequilibrium on social media use: A laboratory analogue.

Response disequilibrium is the perturbation of unconstrained behavior with a contingency. For example, the imposition of advertisements before or after viewing TikTok videos. The purpose of this laboratory analogue was to determine the effects of two such response disequilibrium conditions: (1) which required participants to view 5 s increments of advertisements to access 2 s increments of TikTok videos and (2) which required participants to view 5 s increments of TikTok videos to access 15 s increments of advertisements.

Cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation, and disequilibrium syndrome (CAMRQ) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorder with four described subtypes. Autosomal recessive syndrome of cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation, and disequilibrium type 4 (CAMRQ4) is caused by mutations in the gene. We report an 8-year-old boy with choreoathetosis, hypotonia, without the ability to keep his head up and profound mental retardation.
