Blepharospasm
Excessive winking; tonic or clonic spasm of the orbicularis oculi muscle.
Meige Syndrome
A syndrome characterized by orofacial DYSTONIA; including BLEPHAROSPASM; forceful jaw opening; lip retraction; platysma muscle spasm; and tongue protrusion. It primarily affects older adults, with an incidence peak in the seventh decade of life. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p108)
Hemifacial Spasm
Recurrent clonic contraction of facial muscles, restricted to one side. It may occur as a manifestation of compressive lesions involving the seventh cranial nerve (FACIAL NERVE DISEASES), during recovery from BELL PALSY, or in association with other disorders. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1378)
Eyelid Diseases
Dystonia
An attitude or posture due to the co-contraction of agonists and antagonist muscles in one region of the body. It most often affects the large axial muscles of the trunk and limb girdles. Conditions which feature persistent or recurrent episodes of dystonia as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as DYSTONIC DISORDERS. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p77)
Blinking
Brief closing of the eyelids by involuntary normal periodic closing, as a protective measure, or by voluntary action.
Facial Muscles
Muscles of facial expression or mimetic muscles that include the numerous muscles supplied by the facial nerve that are attached to and move the skin of the face. (From Stedman, 25th ed)
Neuromuscular Agents
Drugs used for their actions on skeletal muscle. Included are agents that act directly on skeletal muscle, those that alter neuromuscular transmission (NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS), and drugs that act centrally as skeletal muscle relaxants (MUSCLE RELAXANTS, CENTRAL). Drugs used in the treatment of movement disorders are ANTI-DYSKINESIA AGENTS.
Botulinum Toxins, Type A
A serotype of botulinum toxins that has specificity for cleavage of SYNAPTOSOMAL-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN 25.
Dystonic Disorders
Acquired and inherited conditions that feature DYSTONIA as a primary manifestation of disease. These disorders are generally divided into generalized dystonias (e.g., dystonia musculorum deformans) and focal dystonias (e.g., writer's cramp). They are also classified by patterns of inheritance and by age of onset.
Spasm
An involuntary contraction of a muscle or group of muscles. Spasms may involve SKELETAL MUSCLE or SMOOTH MUSCLE.
Botulinum Toxins
Toxic proteins produced from the species CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM. The toxins are synthesized as a single peptide chain which is processed into a mature protein consisting of a heavy chain and light chain joined via a disulfide bond. The botulinum toxin light chain is a zinc-dependent protease which is released from the heavy chain upon ENDOCYTOSIS into PRESYNAPTIC NERVE ENDINGS. Once inside the cell the botulinum toxin light chain cleaves specific SNARE proteins which are essential for secretion of ACETYLCHOLINE by SYNAPTIC VESICLES. This inhibition of acetylcholine release results in muscular PARALYSIS.
Eyelids
Each of the upper and lower folds of SKIN which cover the EYE when closed.
Photophobia
Abnormal sensitivity to light. This may occur as a manifestation of EYE DISEASES; MIGRAINE; SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE; MENINGITIS; and other disorders. Photophobia may also occur in association with DEPRESSION and other MENTAL DISORDERS.
Facial Nerve
The 7th cranial nerve. The facial nerve has two parts, the larger motor root which may be called the facial nerve proper, and the smaller intermediate or sensory root. Together they provide efferent innervation to the muscles of facial expression and to the lacrimal and SALIVARY GLANDS, and convey afferent information for TASTE from the anterior two-thirds of the TONGUE and for TOUCH from the EXTERNAL EAR.
Anti-Dyskinesia Agents
Drugs used in the treatment of movement disorders. Most of these act centrally on dopaminergic or cholinergic systems. Among the most important clinically are those used for the treatment of Parkinson disease (ANTIPARKINSON AGENTS) and those for the tardive dyskinesias.
Facial Injuries
General or unspecified injuries to the soft tissue or bony portions of the face.
Oculomotor Muscles
The muscles that move the eye. Included in this group are the medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique, superior oblique, musculus orbitalis, and levator palpebrae superioris.
Unconsciousness
Loss of the ability to maintain awareness of self and environment combined with markedly reduced responsiveness to environmental stimuli. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp344-5)
Tic Disorders
Disorders characterized by recurrent TICS that may interfere with speech and other activities. Tics are sudden, rapid, nonrhythmic, stereotyped motor movements or vocalizations which may be exacerbated by stress and are generally attenuated during absorbing activities. Tic disorders are distinguished from conditions which feature other types of abnormal movements that may accompany another another condition. (From DSM-IV, 1994)
Torticollis
A symptom, not a disease, of a twisted neck. In most instances, the head is tipped toward one side and the chin rotated toward the other. The involuntary muscle contractions in the neck region of patients with torticollis can be due to congenital defects, trauma, inflammation, tumors, and neurological or other factors.
Injections
Introduction of substances into the body using a needle and syringe.
Insanity Defense
A legal concept that an accused is not criminally responsible if, at the time of committing the act, the person was laboring under such a defect of reason from disease of the mind as not to know the nature and quality of the act done or if the act was known, to not have known that what was done was wrong. (From Black's Law Dictionary, 6th ed)
Clinical Trials as Topic
Works about pre-planned studies of the safety, efficacy, or optimum dosage schedule (if appropriate) of one or more diagnostic, therapeutic, or prophylactic drugs, devices, or techniques selected according to predetermined criteria of eligibility and observed for predefined evidence of favorable and unfavorable effects. This concept includes clinical trials conducted both in the U.S. and in other countries.
Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic
Works about clinical trials that involve at least one test treatment and one control treatment, concurrent enrollment and follow-up of the test- and control-treated groups, and in which the treatments to be administered are selected by a random process, such as the use of a random-numbers table.
Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures
Methods, procedures, and tests performed to diagnose disease, disordered function, or disability.
Glaucoma, Angle-Closure
A form of glaucoma in which the intraocular pressure increases because the angle of the anterior chamber is blocked and the aqueous humor cannot drain from the anterior chamber.
Copyright
It is a form of protection provided by law. In the United States this protection is granted to authors of original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. (from Circular of the United States Copyright Office, 6/30/2008)
Iris Diseases
Diseases, dysfunctions, or disorders of or located in the iris.
Medical Illustration
The field which deals with illustrative clarification of biomedical concepts, as in the use of diagrams and drawings. The illustration may be produced by hand, photography, computer, or other electronic or mechanical methods.
Conjunctivitis
Intelligence
The ability to learn and to deal with new situations and to deal effectively with tasks involving abstractions.
Eyelid Neoplasms
Tumors of cancer of the EYELIDS.

Blepharospasm-oromandibular dystonia syndrome (Brueghel's syndrome). A variant of adult-onset torsion dystonia? (1/78)

Thirty-nine patients with the idiopathic blepharospasm-oromandibular dystonia syndrome are described. All presented in adult life, usually in the sixth decade; women were more commonly affected than men. Thirteen had blepharospasm alone, nine had oromandibular dystonia alone, and 17 had both. Torticollis or dystonic writer's camp preceded the syndrome in two patients. Eight other patients developed toritocollis, dystonic posturing of the arms, or involvement of respiratory muscles. No cause or hereditary basis for the illness were discovered. The evidence to indicate that this syndrome is due to an abnormality of extrapyramidal function, and that it is another example of adult-onset focal dystonia akin to spasmodic torticollis and dystonic writer's cramp, is discussed.  (+info)

Botulinum toxin treatment of hemifacial spasm and blepharospasm: objective response evaluation. (2/78)

Twenty seven patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS) and sixteen patients with blepharospasm (BS) having mean Jankovic disability rating scale score of 2.56+0.58 SD and 2.81+0.54 SD, respectively, were treated with botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections. The total number of injection sessions were ninety one with relief response in 98.91%. The mean improvement in function scale score was 3.78+0.64 SD and 3.29+1.07 SD respectively, in HFS and BS groups. The clinical benefit induced by botulinum toxin lasted for a mean of 4.46+3.11 SD (range 2 to 13) months in HFS group and 2.66+1.37 SD (range 1 to 6) months, in BS groups. Transient ptosis was seen in 4.39% of total ninety one injection sessions. These findings show that local botulinum toxin treatment provides effective, safe and long lasting relief of spasms.  (+info)

Risk factors for spread of primary adult onset blepharospasm: a multicentre investigation of the Italian movement disorders study group. (3/78)

OBJECTIVES: Little is known about factors influencing the spread of blepharospasm to other body parts. An investigation was carried out to deterrmine whether demographic features (sex, age at blepharospasm onset), putative risk, or protective factors for blepharospasm (family history of dystonia or tremor, previous head or face trauma with loss of consciousness, ocular diseases, and cigarette smoking), age related diseases (diabetes, hypertension), edentulousness, and neck or trunk trauma preceding the onset of blepharospasm could distinguish patients with blepharospasm who had spread of dystonia from those who did not. METHODS: 159 outpatients presenting initially with blepharospasm were selected in 16 Italian Institutions. There were 104 patients with focal blepharospasm (mean duration of disease 5.3 (SD 1.9) years) and 55 patients in whom segmental or multifocal dystonia developed (mainly in the cranial cervical area) 1.5 (1.2) years after the onset of blepharospasm. Information was obtained from a standardised questionnaire administered by medical interviewers. A Cox regression model was used to examine the relation between the investigated variables and spread. RESULTS: Previous head or face trauma with loss of consciousness, age at the onset of blepharospasm, and female sex were independently associated with an increased risk of spread. A significant association was not found between spread of dystonia and previous ocular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, neck or trunk trauma, edentulousness, cigarette smoking, and family history of dystonia or tremor. An unsatisfactory study power negatively influenced the validity and accuracy of the negative findings relative to diabetes, neck or trunk trauma, and cigarette smoking. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this exploratory study confirm that patients presenting initially with blepharospasm are most likely to experience some spread of dystonia within a few years of the onset of blepharospasm and suggest that head or face trauma with loss of consciousness preceding the onset, age at onset, and female sex may be relevant to spread. The suggested association between edentulousness and cranial cervical dystonia may be apparent because of the confounding effect of both age at onset and head or face trauma with loss of consciousness. The lack of influence of family history of dystonia on spread is consistent with previous findings indicating that the inheritance pattern is the same for focal and segmental blepharospasm.  (+info)

The effect of apomorphine on blink kinematics in subhuman primates with and without facial nerve palsy. (4/78)

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to document the effect of acutely delivered apomorphine, a dopamine receptor agonist with both D1 and D2 properties, on blink rate and the amplitude-velocity characteristics of eyelid kinematics in a group of nonhuman primates. METHODS: Three cynomolgus and two rhesus macaques underwent baseline recordings for eyelid kinematics, using the Robinson search coil technique. Next, each animal received a 0.15-mg/kg subcutaneous injection of apomorphine. Recordings were taken at 45 and 90 minutes, respectively, after injection. Blink rates per minute were obtained, and main sequence relationships were calculated for every animal. The data were pooled for each eyelid, excluding one monkey who was affected by facial nerve palsy and was analyzed separately. RESULTS: Monkeys with normal facial musculature and normal baseline blink rates showed consistently longer, faster blinks after apomorphine. The main sequence relationship, although tending to be lower, was not statistically different from baseline. One monkey, with prior facial nerve palsy and a very steep amplitude versus peak velocity relationship, showed normalization of the main sequence slope after apomorphine at both 45 and 90 minutes after injection. CONCLUSIONS: Apomorphine consistently lowers blink rate and changed blink metrics in normal monkeys and, more dramatically, in a monkey with facial nerve palsy. These findings add credence to models in which dopamine deficiency plays a role in the modulation of blink kinematics.  (+info)

Botulinum toxin A treatment in patients suffering from blepharospasm and dry eye. (5/78)

BACKGROUND: Many patients with essential blepharospasm also show dry eye signs and symptoms. Botulinum toxin A is an effective treatment for reducing spasms in these patients. In this investigation, the effect of botulinum toxin A injections on tear function and on the morphology of the ocular surface in patients suffering from blepharospasm in combination with a dry eye syndrome was investigated. METHODS: Botulinum toxin A injections were applied to 16 patients with blepharospasm. All patients complained of dry eye symptoms and had reduced tear break up time values. A subjective questionnaire and ocular examinations including tear break up time, Schirmer test without local anaesthesia, and rose bengal staining were evaluated before, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after injection. Impression cytology was performed before, 1 month, and 3 months after botulinum toxin A treatment. RESULTS: Although all patients were relieved of blepharospasm after botulinum toxin injections, only three noticed an improvement in dry eye symptoms. Eight patients noticed no difference and five complained of worsening. Tear break up time was found to be increased 1 week and 1 month after injections. Schirmer test measurements were reduced up to 3 months. Rose bengal staining slightly increased 1 week after injections. Impression cytology showed no definite change in conjunctival cell morphology 1 month and 3 months after botulinum toxin A injections. CONCLUSION: In the patients presented here suffering from blepharospasm and dry eye, botulinum toxin A injections were effective in relieving blepharospasm but were not successful in treating dry eye syndrome.  (+info)

Botulinum toxin therapy: distant effects on neuromuscular transmission and autonomic nervous system. (6/78)

To evaluate distant effects of botulinum toxin, single fibre electromyography on the extensor digitorum communis muscle and six tests of cardiovascular reflexes were performed in five patients injected with BoTox (Oculinum(R) 20-130 units) for craniocervical dystonia and hemifacial spasm. Patients underwent two sessions of treatment and the second time the dosage was doubled. Botulinum toxin injection induced an increase of mean jitter value above normal limits in all cases. An increase of fibre density was recorded six weeks after the treatment. Cardiovascular reflexes showed mild abnormalities in four patients. The data confirm distant effects of botulinum toxin on neuromuscular transmission and on autonomic function.  (+info)

Treatment of blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm and strabismus with botulinum a toxin. (7/78)

Thirty patients with blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, strabismus and entropion were treated with botulinum A toxin giving satisfactory results. Rapid spasm relief, correction of strabismus and entropion were obtained. Only mild, transient and local side-effects occurred. The patients were followed up for 4-12 weeks with no recurrence. The clinical results show that local injection of a minute dose of botulinum A toxin in treating blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, strabismus and entropion is a safe, effective and simple method of nonsurgical therapy.  (+info)

Coexistent blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm: overlapping pathophysiologic mechanism? (8/78)

BACKGROUND/AIM: Blepharospasm (BEB) and hemifacial spasm (HFS) appear to be distinct disorders. Clinical characteristics of coexistent BEB and HFS have not been examined. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, clinical, and imaging features of coexistent BEB among a cohort of HFS patients and controls. RESULTS: Among 665 study subjects, nine (5.5%) of the 164 consecutive HFS patients had coexistent BEB, significantly higher than age and gender matched controls (0/501, 0%) without neurological diseases (p<0.0001). The mean age of the nine patients was 61.4 (SD 9.9) (range 51-72), consisting of 88.9% women, and 66.7% had left sided HFS, similar to HFS patients without BEB. Six (66.7%) reported BEB symptoms at a mean of 0.8 years after HFS onset, one before, and onset was undetermined in two patients. Advanced magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed neurovascular compression of the ipsilateral side of HFS, without any basal ganglia lesions. CONCLUSIONS: BEB occurred more frequently in HFS patients, suggesting changes in the brainstem blink reflex circuitry could play a modulatory role in certain at-risk individuals resulting in the coexistence of these movement disorders.  (+info)

Blepharospasm (Spasm of the eyelid muscles)Blepharospasm (Spasm of the eyelid muscles)
Essential blepharospasm is a debilitating disorder of progressive involuntary spasms of the eyelid muscles. Other muscles in the face or neck may be involved as well. Terms that sometimes are used in the description of this problem include dystonia (impaired or disordered muscle tone) and dyskinesia (a defect in voluntary movement). The onset of blepharospasm is typically in the fifth to sixth decade and is more common in women than in men. Although the cause of essential blepharospasm is incompletely understood, it is thought to be a result of miscommunication in the area(s) of the brain responsible for control of the involved muscles.. The onset of essential blepharospasm usually is heralded by an increase in blinking or squinting with progression toward repetitive forceful closure and difficulty opening the eyelids. Blepharospasm is often made worse by stress, fatigue, bright lights, watching television or driving, and social interactions. Functional blindness in the presence of an ...

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Nilda Rendino, Vice President and Advocacy Chair of the Benign Essential Blepharospasm Research Foundation and Dona Norton on the topic of blepharospasm, a devastating disease which has affected both of them and often times goes years without being properly diagnosed. If you suffer from dry eyes, excessive blinking and sensitivity to light, you may (according to Merz Pharmaceuticals) be one of the 53% who goes at least a year without a proper ... View the Post ...

Using zinc to prolong botulinum toxin treatment responseUsing zinc to prolong botulinum toxin treatment response
The bottom line?. The authors concluded: This study suggests a potentially meaningful role for zinc and/or phytase supplementation in increasing the degree and duration of botulinum toxin effect in the treatment of cosmetic facial rhytids, benign essential blepharospasm, and hemifacial spasm.. When a skeletal muscle nerve ending is stimulated it releases acetylcholine, which triggers an impulse to the muscle. Botulinum toxin blocks release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. As shown in the photo above, zinc is part of the botulinum toxin structure. A more detailed explanation is here.. Phytases are enzymes that increase zinc absorption from the intestines, making more available in the circulation and at the botulinum toxin site of action.. This study is important because it shows that taking more zinc may increase the response and duration of effect of Botox type drugs. This may be particularly useful for patients who experience a decline in response over time.. 4/10/13 9:28 ...

What Causes Eyelid Twitches?What Causes Eyelid Twitches?
Your optometrist form Shady Grove Eye and Vision Care talks about this condition in detail.. What Causes Blepharospasm There are multiple factors that can lead to blepharospasm. Problems with the basal ganglia, the part of your brain that controls muscle movement, may lead to this condition. Stress, lack of sleep or having an incorrect lens prescription can also cause your eye muscles to become fatigued, making them twitch.. Increased alcohol and caffeine intake are additional risk factors for blepharospasm development, as is excessive time spent on digital devices. This is why we advise resting your eyes regularly when working on the computer or other electronic devices by following the 20-20-20 rule - after 20 minutes on your device, look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Wearing computer eyeglasses can help too. Recurring eye allergies, dry eyes and over-exhaustion may cause eye twitching as well.. What You Can Do About Blepharospasm. Blepharospasm treatment depends on the underlying ...

Blepharospasm is a type of focal dystonia that causes the muscles around your eyes to spasm involuntarily.. Uncontrollable eye closure is a common characteristic of blepharospasm. In the most severe cases, a person may be unable to open their eyes for several minutes, effectively making them blind for short periods of time.. Frequent blinking, eye irritation and sensitivity to light (photophobia) are also possible characteristics of blepharospasm.. If you have blepharospasm, the pattern of your symptoms can change throughout the day. For example, you may have few or no symptoms when you wake up in the morning, but they may start to appear or get worse when youre tired or stressed.. ...

Benign Essential Tremor is basically a disorder of the nervous system in which a patient experiences rhythmic shaking and it can affect any part of your body. In this sort of disorder the shaking usually occurs in the hands therefore it is known as the tremor of hands. It gets very difficult to perform even the easiest routine tasks like drinking water, eating, driving, writing, shaving or other activities that involve major participation of your hands. It is not a very hazardous medical condition but it does get worse with time therefore needs immediate medical supervision so that the disaster can be avoided..

Meiges syndrome - WikipediaMeiges syndrome - Wikipedia
Meiges syndrome is a type of dystonia. It is also known as Brueghels syndrome and oral facial dystonia. It is actually a combination of two forms of dystonia, blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia (OMD). When OMD is combined with blepharospasm, it may be referred to as Meiges Syndrome named after Henri Meige, the French neurologist who first described the symptoms in detail in 1910. The symptoms usually begin between the ages of 30 and 70 years old and appear to be more common in women than in men (2:1 ratio). The combination of upper and lower dystonia is sometimes called cranial-cervical dystonia. The incidence is about one case in 20,000 people. Oromandibular Symptoms difficulty opening the mouth (trismus) clenching or grinding of the teeth (bruxism) spasms of jaw opening sideways deviation or protrusion of the jaw lip tightening and pursing drawing back (retraction) of the corners of the mouth deviation or protrusion of the tongue. jaw pain difficulties eating and drinking difficulties ...

Botox® Cosmetic is a popular, effective, non-surgical treatment which works by temporarily paralyzing the treated muscles, preventing them from contracting. While Botox has been safely used for more than 15 years for the treatment of facial lines and wrinkles, many people dont know that it can also be used to treat many other conditions such as excessive perspiration, & uncontrollable muscle spasms.. Blepharospasm (uncontrollable blinking) is a localized movement disorder which causes the eyelid muscles to abnormally contract. This can cause problems for sufferers ability to perform everyday activites, due to the fact that the vision is constantly being impaired by the eyelids. In severe cases, blepharospasm can progress to the inability to keep the eyelids open, and eventually to functional blindness. Botox® is an effective treatment. With a treatment plan of Botox® injections, the signals that cause the eyelid muscles to contract is blocked, therefore inhibiting the uncontrollable ...

Infants with CNLDO usually present within the first month of life with epiphora, recurrent periocular crusting, or both (Fig 19-5). They do not have photophobia or blepharospasm. Symptoms are usually chronic and worse with nasal congestion; bilateral involvement is common. Applying digital pressure to the lacrimal sac usually results in retrograde discharge of mucoid or mucopurulent material.. Excessive tearing due to CNLDO must be differentiated from epiphora due to infantile glaucoma, which has additional features, including photophobia, blepharospasm, ocular hypertension, corneal clouding with or without enlargement, and breaks in Descemet membrane (see Chapter 22). Besides infantile glaucoma, the differential diagnosis of CNLDO includes conjunctivitis, and epiblepharon with irritation due to trichiasis. A thorough examination is necessary to rule out other ocular abnormalities. A cycloplegic refraction should be performed as results of some studies suggest that there is an increased rate of ...

Should I Be Concerned When My Eyelid Twitches?Should I Be Concerned When My Eyelid Twitches?
Blepharospasm is usually a progressive condition that can eventually lead to spasms in other muscles in the face, blurred vision and light sensitivity. The condition is sometimes treated with medication or Botox (botulinum toxin) to temporarily reduce the spasms and in severe cases, surgery may be performed to remove some of the muscles that are affected. On very rare occasions eye twitching can be a symptom of a more serious disorder affecting the brain or nervous system, however, usually it will be accompanied by other symptoms. Examples of such conditions include: glaucoma, hemifacial spasms, Parkinsons disease, Bells palsy, multiple sclerosis, dystonia, and Tourettes. A corneal scratch or abrasion can also be a cause of the eyelid muscle spasm. If you experience any of the following symptoms along with your eye twitching, see your doctor as soon as possible: ...

Last Saturday I attended the Kent Dystonia society group meeting in Maidstone. As the attendees had different types of focal dystonia, I chose to speak about living with dystonia in general, and how dystonia is a source of disability, distress, anxiety and despair and what can be done to help.. 1-Dystonia is source of disability, related to the fact that the dystonic spasms are brought up by action and interfere with daily life activities. As soon as the patient with blepharospasm tries to watch TV or drives, his eyes close; the patient with jaw spasms has major difficulties chewing; the patients with neck dystonia, difficulties when walking, and looking in front of him; the patients with writers cramp when writing and the spasmodic dysphonia when speaking.. 2-Dystonia is source of distress as the diagnosis of dystonia is often delayed.. The awareness of doctors is low for dystonia as it is a rare condition, but it is not the only reason to explain the difficulty for the diagnosis. The ...

Botulinum Toxin A, more commonly known as Botox, was first approved in 1989 for therapeutic use in blepharospasm (abnormal contraction or twitch of the eyelid) and strabismus (crossed eyes). Using a very fine needle, Botox is injected in small doses on the muscles. Botox can also be used to reduce perspiration at the injected area by inhibiting the release of the neurotransmitter responsible for stimulating the sweat glands. This treatment is suitable for people with excessive sweating on the palms and underarms.. ...

If you think you may have dystonia and it has not yet been diagnosed, you should see your doctor and ask to be referred to a neurologist specialized in movement disorders. If you are diagnosed with blepharospasm, you may be treated by an ophthalmologist. If you have laryngeal dystonia, you may see an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist. During your consultation with the appropriate specialist, you will undergo an examination and you will also be asked many questions to establish if there is any family history of neurological problems including dystonia.

Update on Parkinsons Disease - American Family PhysicianUpdate on Parkinsons Disease - American Family Physician
Parkinsons disease is a progressive degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. The hallmark physical signs are tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia. Idiopathic Parkinsons disease is caused by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and nigrostriatal pathway of the midbrain. Secondary parkinsonism may be caused by certain drugs (e.g., metoclopramide and haloperidol) or by cerebrovascular disease (e.g., multiple lacunar strokes). The disease can usually be diagnosed based on the history and physical findings. Dopamine replacement is still considered the most efficacious treatment for Parkinsons disease, but dopamine agonists, formerly prescribed only as adjunctive therapy, are emerging as useful initial therapy. Other pharmacologic treatments include drugs that inhibit dopamine-metabolizing enzymes (monoamine oxidase-B and catechol O-methyltransferase). Injections of botulinum toxin can be helpful in patients with associated dystonia or blepharospasm. Surgery may be

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) are the most toxic substances known to humans causing respiratory failure upon poisoning. BoNTs lethality and ease of production has led to a category A bioterrorism agent designation for BoNT by the Department of Defense (DoD). Developing effective, post-exposure antagonists to BoNT is a top priority of the DoD. Despite their lethality, BoNTs have cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications and are currently FDA-approved for the treatment of glabellar lines (wrinkles), cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, cranial nerve VII disorders, and cosmoses. BoNT provides relief of muscle tension by silencing neurons that cause muscle contraction. For many disorders, BoNT-based treatments provide significant and long lasting reductions in pain. BoNTs exquisite specificity for neurons and long time of action make it a lead candidate for the treatment of neurological and muscle disorders where conventional treatments have failed. Development of ...

ADHD is not simply due to a shortage in dopamine | MindwiseADHD is not simply due to a shortage in dopamine | Mindwise
Another interesting way to formally test the hypodopaminergic state hypothesis of ADHD is by examining the frequency of spontaneous eye blinks. Early work in non-human primates demonstrated that dopamine-stimulating medications produce increases in blink rate whereas dopamine-inhibiting medications produce decreases in blink rate (see Groen et al., 2015). Further, patients with PD have two times lower blink rates than healthy individuals (Deuschl & Goddemeier, 1998). Sometimes they even suffer from medical eye problems because their eyes are no longer sufficiently protected from dehydration and filth.Spontaneous blink rate can thus be regarded as a reliable marker of the integrity of the dopamine system in the brain. We recently examined spontaneous eye blink rates in children with ADHD (Groen et al., 2015) and in contrast to the hypodopaminergic state hypothesis we found no reductions; neither did previous studies. Therefore, if it exists, the hypodopaminergic state in ADHD thus is much less ...

A 6-year-old thoroughbred gelding was presented with a history of blepharospasm and opacity in the OS of 1 weeks duration. Ophthalmic examination findings were consistent with acute uveitis in the OS, and traditional treatment was initiated with systemic antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, topical mydriatics, and corticosteroids. During the total treatment period of 4 weeks response to treatment was weak and the horse developed further problems such as cellulitis of the right hind limb with fever and eventually weight loss and dependent edema. Blood work was indicative of liver disease. Abdominal sonography revealed severe splenomegaly and slight hepatomegaly, and a liver biopsy confirmed malignant T-cell lymphoma. The horse was euthanized due to deteriorating general condition and subsequently underwent postmortem examination. Necropsy and histologic examination revealed a multicentric lymphoma with involvement of spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes, and OU. The findings in this case ...

Aftas o candidiasis oralAftas o candidiasis oral
Las aftas se tratan con medicamentos antimicóticos (para matar hongos) líquidos que se adminisran con un gotero en la boca del bebé.. Si usted está amamanando a un bebé que tiene aftas orales, es probable que tenga una infección por hongos leve en los pezones. Usted deberá recibir tratamiento para esto, de manera que se prevenga que vuelva a pasarle esta infección a su bebé. Es posible que le receten un ungüento para que se aplique en la piel, o un medicamento antimicótico oral.. También es importante esterilizar los chupones, las tetinas de los biberones, o los juguetes que su bebé se pueda llevar a la boca. Esto previene una reinfección.. Lávese las manos con agua tibia y jabón antes y después de atender a su bebé, para tratar así de evitar que se propague la infección.. ...

Debunking BreastfeedingDesmintiendo la lactancia materna - The Bronx Free PressDebunking BreastfeedingDesmintiendo la lactancia materna - The Bronx Free Press
Escucho una y otra vez: tiene hambre, está llorando. Debería darle un biberón a mi bebé porque no quiero que se muera de hambre, dice Mulholland. Pero ella les dice que la mejor manera de promover la producción de leche no es introducir fórmula, sino amamantar con frecuencia, porque cuanto más amamante, más leche producirá. Es oferta y demanda, dice. Los recién nacidos deben ser amamantados cada dos o tres horas, de ocho a 12 veces en 24 horas, día y noche.. Para asegurarse de que el bebé esté adecuadamente alimentado, las enfermeras controlan el peso del bebé y la cantidad de pañales mojados y vigilan la ictericia. Mulholland les dice a los padres que su recién nacido debe tener un pañal mojado en un período de 24 horas por cada día de vida, es decir, dos pañales mojados el día dos y tres el día tres, hasta el día cinco, y luego al menos seis pañales mojados al día. Si es el cuarto día y solo han tenido dos pañales, deben notificarlo absolutamente a su pediatra, ...

Antes del nacimiento del bebé, hable con su proveedor de atención médica acerca de la lactancia materna. Lo mejor es empezar a amamantar durante la primera hora después del parto. Solicite también que usted y su bebé permanezcan juntos en el hospital todo el tiempo que sea posible. Durante ese tiempo, el bebé sin ropa debe estar sobre su pecho desnudo, en contacto piel con piel, tanto como sea posible. Esto la ayudará a empezar la lactancia de la mejor forma. Muchos hospitales tienen asesores de lactancia para ayudar a las madres primerizas a amamantar. Consulte en el hospital el nombre de un grupo de lactancia materna en su zona. Con frecuencia, estos grupos brindan asesoramiento y apoyo a las madres primerizas sin ningún costo ...

Bringing Home Bebés: 2008Bringing Home Bebés: 2008
The thing that I am most grateful for, and I dont think grateful even begins to cover it, is the amazing story Luis Angel now has to tell about Gods grace and faithfulness. It is no secret that our children were born into real hardship. There is no doubt that God obviously had a larger plan for their lives and our family as a whole. However, what humbles me more than anything is that, according to the surgeon, Luis should not be alive. Dr. Watts believes that with the condition Luis had, he should not have lived as long as he has. However, by the grace of God, the affected coronary artery was very narrow at end that attached to the pulmonary artery and that is what kept his condition from being worse. I do not believe in coincidences, therefore, I know that it is no accident that his coronary artery was so narrow. The fact that God preserved him for this moment, for all of the events leading up to this moment, is just mind-boggling, drive-you-to-your-knees-with-thanks humbling. There really ...

Corneal ulcers in animalsCorneal ulcers in animals
The initial choice of antibiotic depends upon personal choice, experience and availability, but could include chloramphenicol, chlortetracycline, bacitracin-neomycin-polymyxin (BNP), ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and tobramycin. Topical gentamicin formulations are also available, but in the opinion of some, should be reserved for cases with stromal melting. Frequency of application can vary from q1h to q8h, depending on both the severity of the lesion, and the formulation used (ointment vs. drops). Much of the pain associated with corneal ulceration is due to the secondary uveitis and miosis, and effective relief can often be gained with topical atropine(1%), leading to mydriasis. Dosing is generally q4h initially, and then as required to maintain dilation. Mydriasis is also important to avoid some of the complications associated with uveitis, such as synechiae formation and glaucoma. Pain is also associated with inflammatory response occurring in the adjacent sclera and conjunctiva, and systemic ...
