1. Diffusion of aniline blue injected into the thyroarytenoid muscle as a proxy for botulinum toxin injection: an experimental study in cadaver larynges
INTRODUCTION: Endolaryngeal injection of botulinum toxin into the thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle is one of the methods for treatment of focal laryngeal dystonia. However, after treatment, there is variation in laryngeal configuration as well as the side effects reported by patients. As a consequence of the functional variability of results, it was hypothesized t

2. Distonia focal e a atividade do instrumentista de sopro / Focal dystonia and activity instrumentalist of wind
O presente trabalho discute a distonia focal do músico e sua relação com a performance em instrumentos de sopro. O trabalho apresenta a partir da revisão de literatura sobre o tema o conceito de distonia, bem como o de distonia focal do músico suas principais causas e sintomas relacionados com a prática instrumental e elenca possíveis caminhos de prev

4. Botulinum toxin treatment of cranial-cervical dystonia, spasmodic dysphonia, other focal dystonias and hemifacial spasm.
In the past five years, 477 patients with various focal dystonias and hemifacial spasm received 3,806 injections of botulinum A toxin for relief of involuntary spasms. A definite improvement with a global rating greater than or equal to 2 on a 0-4 scale, was obtained in all 13 patients with spasmodic dysphonia, 94% of 70 patients with blepharospasm, 92% of 1

5. Sex prevalence of focal dystonias.
The sex prevalence of idiopathic focal dystonia is reported from a data base review of all patients seen at the National Hospital of Neurology, Queen Square and King's College, London up to 1993. There was a higher prevalence of females to males in all categories of focal dystonia involving the craniocervical region. The female to male ratio for cranial dyst

6. Focal dystonia of the jaw and the differential diagnosis of unilateral jaw and masticatory spasm.
The clinical features, differential diagnosis and treatment of unilateral spasms of the jaw and masticatory muscles are discussed and illustrated by eight cases of unilateral jaw spasms of various aetiologies. These include focal dystonia of the jaw, hemimasticatory spasm with and without facial hemiatrophy, paroxysmal events in multiple sclerosis and tetany

7. CFS hydroxylase cofactor levels in some neurological diseases.
The cerebrospinal fluid concentration of hydroxylase cofactor has been measured in patients with Parkinson's disease, the Shy-Drager and Steele-Richardson syndromes, adult onset focal dystonia, essential tremor, Huntington's disease and presenile dementia. The results were compared with age matched controls and low values were demonstrated for all disease gr

8. Changes in the balance between motor cortical excitation and inhibition in focal, task specific dystonia.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation has been used in a double pulse paradigm to investigate the excitability of intrinsic motor cortical circuits in 15 patients with focal task specific dystonia of the right hand and a group of eight age matched controls. The left hemisphere was examined in five patients; in the remainder, both hemispheres were tested. There w

9. Animal Models of Focal Dystonia
Summary: Animal models indicate that the abnormal movements of focal dystonia result from disordered sensorimotor integration. Sensorimotor integration involves a comparison of sensory information resulting from a movement with the sensory information expected from the movement. Unanticipated sensory signals identified by sensorimotor processing serve as sig

11. Animal Models of Generalized Dystonia
Summary: Dystonia is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by abnormal co-contractions of antagonistic muscle groups that produce twisting movements and abnormal postures. The disorder may be inherited, arise sporadically, or result from brain insult. Dystonia is a heterogeneous disorder because patients may exhibit focal or generalized symptoms as
