Dyskinetic areas of the left ventriculograms of 151 patients were related to electrocardiographic signs of infarction. Apical dyskinesia alone or in combination with anterior or inferior dyskinesia could be associated with inferior and/or anterior infarction patterns. Appreciation of this fact prevents over-estimation of the severity of coronary artery disease from a resting electrocardiogram, ...

A 23-year-old, white male with history of paranoid schizophrenia developed a withdrawal-emergent dyskinesia during a dose reduction of risperidone. The implications of this with regard to future risk of tardive dyskinesia (TD) and the potential association of risperidone with TD are discussed.

For Parkinson's patients to function at their best, their medications need to be optimally adjusted to the diurnal variation of symptoms. For this to occur, it is important for the managing clinician to have an accurate picture of how the patient's bradykinesia / hypokinesia and dyskinesia fluctuate throughout the normal daily activities. This thesis proposes the use of wearable accelerometers ...

BACKGROUND Treatment of Parkinson disease commonly includes levodopa and dopamine agonists; however, the interaction of these 2 drugs is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of a dopamine agonist on the motor response to levodopa. DESIGN Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial. SETTING Ambulatory academic referral center. Patients Thirteen pat...

One of the major symptoms of the neurodegenerative condition Parkinson's disease (PD) is a slowness or loss of voluntary movement, yet frustratingly therapeutic strategies designed to restore movement can result in the development of excessive abnormal movements known as dyskinesia. These dyskinesias commonly develop as a result of pharmacotherapy in the form of L-DOPA administration, but have ...

ADS-5102 is a long-acting, extended-release capsule formulation of amantadine HCl administered once daily at bedtime. This study investigated the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of ADS-5102 in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with levodopa-induced dyskinesia. This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of 83 PD patients with troublesome dyskinesia assigned ...

Levodopa is effective for the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), but is associated with motor fluctuations and dyskinesia. Many patients require add-on therapy to improve motor fluctuations without exacerbating dyskinesia. The objective of this Phase III, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of safinamide, an α-amin...

Purpose: Non-specific chronic neck pain (NSCNP) is a major health problem. Scapular dyskinesia one of the contributing factors to NSCNP. The suspension-type exercise relatively new method used in rehabilitation scapular dysfunction. purpose this pretest post- test randomized clinical trial was study effects muscles training using prefabricated suspension system on improving pain, function, musc...
