Drug-induced hyperthermia in Huntington's disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Until now, only three patients with Huntington's disease (HD) and a neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) have been reported in the literature. We describe four cases with advanced stage Huntington's disease who within a period of one year developed drug-induced hyperthermia, either the neuroleptic

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome caused by dopamine-depleting drugs in a patient with Huntington disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Prior reports of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) concerned patients with psychiatric disorders, usually schizophrenia, who were taking dopamine receptor blocking agents. We report the syndrome in a patient with Huntington disease who was treated with dopamine-depleting agents. He had a negative

Sydenham's chorea in a family with Huntington's disease: case report and review of the literature.

BACKGROUND Sydenham's chorea affects almost 30% of patients with acute rheumatic fever. It is more frequent in females and is rare in the first decade of life, and genetic vulnerability underlies it. Because of easy access to antibiotics, it is now rare in so-called developed countries. METHODS A

Chorea.

Chorea is an involuntary movement disorder characterised by flowing and rhythmic in nature. Hyperkinetic movement disorders such as myoclonus may be mistaken for chorea. Pathogenes of chorea is complex and results from dysfunction of network between motor nucleus of thalamus and subcortical nuclei

Chorea: A Journey through History.

Only registered users can translate articles

The original descriptions of chorea date from the Middle Ages, when an epidemic of "dancing mania" swept throughout Europe. The condition was initially considered a curse sent by a saint, but was named "Saint Vitus's dance" because afflicted individuals were cured if they touched churches storing

Serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in Sydenham's chorea.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sydenham's chorea (SC) is the neurologic manifestation of rheumatic fever. In addition to involuntary movements, SC patients show behavioral changes, such as hyperactivity, obsessions, and compulsions. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is related to neuronal development and differentiation.

Acoustic analysis of prosody in Sydenham's chorea.

Only registered users can translate articles

There are few studies of language and speech in patients with Sydenham's chorea (SC). We have done an acoustic analysis of fundamental frequency (F0), duration and intensity of declarative and interrogative sentences made by 20 SC patients, 20 patients with rheumatic fever (RF) without chorea, and

Essential nursing competencies for genetics and genomics: implications for critical care.

Only registered users can translate articles

The implications of genetics and genomics for critical care nurses are becoming more evident, not only in the care provided but also in the numerous medications administered. Genetic causes are being discovered for an increasing number of chronic illnesses and diseases, such as Huntington disease.

Transcription regulation of HYPK by Heat Shock Factor 1.

Only registered users can translate articles

HYPK (Huntingtin Yeast Partner K) was originally identified by yeast two-hybrid assay as an interactor of Huntingtin, the protein mutated in Huntington's disease. HYPK was characterized earlier as an intrinsically unstructured protein having chaperone-like activity in vitro and in vivo. HYPK has the

Neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonists abrogate methamphetamine-induced striatal dopaminergic neurotoxicity in the murine brain.

Only registered users can translate articles

Methamphetamine (METH) is an addictive substance that also causes extensive neural degeneration in the central nervous system. Because METH augments striatal substance P (SP) levels, we hypothesized that this neuropeptide plays a role in methamphetamine-induced toxicity and neural damage in the

Anti-neuroinflammatory effect of Iresine celosia on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglial cells and mouse.

Only registered users can translate articles

Abnormal inflammatory response in the central nervous system plays a critical role in various neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease. Therefore, modulation of abnormal neuroinflammation is thought to be a promising therapeutic strategy for

Gowers' Queen Square case notes on chorea: a 21st century re-appraisal.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the case notes of 127 patients with chorea admitted to the National Hospital at Queen Square, London, under the care of William Richard Gowers and review his contribution to the study of choreas. METHODS We consulted the case books available at the Queen Square Library, from

Role of basal ganglia: Vesalius and Piccolomini distinguished subcortical nuclei from cortex and white matter in the 16th century. Willis' mistaken concept in the late 17th century that the corpus striatum was the seat of motor power persisted for 200 years and formed the basis of mid-19th-century

Enkephalins and ACTH in the mammalian nervous system.

Only registered users can translate articles

The pentapeptides methionine-enkephalin and leucine-enkephalin belong to the opioid family of peptides, and the non-opiate peptide adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) to the melanocortin peptide family. Enkephalins/ACTH are derived from pro-enkephalin, pro-dynorphin or pro-opiomelanocortin precursors
