Relationship between blood harmane and harmine concentrations in familial essential tremor, sporadic essential tremor and controls.
INTRODUCTION Harmane, a potent tremor-producing β-carboline alkaloid, may play a role in the etiology of essential tremor (ET). Blood harmane concentrations are elevated in ET cases compared with controls yet the basis for this elevation remains unknown. Decreased metabolic conversion (harmane to harmine) is one possible explanation. Using a sample of >500 individuals, we hypothesized that defe...
متن کاملCorrelation between tremor parameters.
The relationship between clinically scored tremor and electromyographic measurements of tremor amplitude is not clear and few reports have examined correlations between different tremor parameters. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations between different tremor parameters, clinical tremor scoring, age and disease duration. A total of 525 patients with different types of tremor w...
متن کاملTremor in a Bassoonist: Tremor in Dystonia or Essential Tremor?
JMD Dear Editor, Tremor is a common clinical feature in dystonia. It can be seen in both affected and unaffected body parts in patients with dystonia. Clinically, it may not be easily distinguishable from essential tremor, currently defined as a bilateral, largely symmetric postural or kinetic tremor involving the hands and forearms that is visible and persistent, with an associated or isolated...
متن کاملThe nature of tremor circuits in parkinsonian and essential tremor
Tremor is a cardinal feature of Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, the two most common movement disorders. Yet, the mechanisms underlying tremor generation remain largely unknown. We hypothesized that driving deep brain stimulation electrodes at a frequency closely matching the patient's own tremor frequency should interact with neural activity responsible for tremor, and that the effect...
