... of thumb and index finger were the most common abnormalities noted in WC. WC was diagnosed by a single-movement disorder specialist based on history, neurological examination and detailed observation of writing. Each patient was specifically questioned for occurrence of tremor or dystonia in first...

...Seong-Min Choi; Byeong C. Kim; Jane Chang; Kang-Ho Choi; Tai-Seung Nam; Joon-Tae Kim; Seung-Han Lee; Man-Seok Park; Woong Yoon; Mony J. de Leon Background: Essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are common neurological disorders in elderly people, and some features of ET and PD may...

...Martin Wolz; Antje Hähner; Linda Meixner; Matthias Löhle; Heinz Reichmann; Thomas Hummel; Alexander Storch Background/Aims: The diagnostic value of olfactory testing for the discrimination of tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease (PD) from other tremor disorders remains enigmatic. We evaluated...

...Nabil Biary; Saleh M. Al Deeb; Yacoub Bahou We investigated the effect of long-term treatment of essential tremor (ET) with flunarizine (Fz) (10 mg/day) in 17 subjects who had a favorable response to 1 month of treatment. Side effects (dystonia, parkinsonism, weight gain and depression) occurred...

...Uri Hadar; Clifford Rose Arm tremor in Parkinson’s disease occurs during rest which has been explained by a specific tremulous mechanism activated during rest. During action or posture maintenance, the tremor may persist or recur, but with reduced amplitude. We present 2 patients with idiopathic...

...Takashi Ohmoto Resting tremor and hypokinesia of. unilateral limbs were produced in monkeys after making a lesion in the mesencephalic tegmentum. The administration of L-dopa or dopamine agonists relieved them and followingly induced dyskinesias. The same effects were produced by the direct...

...C. Ohye The outline of neurophysiological studies on a parkinsonian model in monkeys with mesencephalic ventromedial tegmental lesions was presented. By radiologically and physiologically controlled, selective deep-seated lesions, rigidity with or without tremor could be produced separately. From...

...N. Yanagisawa; A. Nezu Tremor and drug-induced dyskinesia are major involuntary movements in Parkinson’s disease. The rhythm of resting tremor is 4–6 cycles/s, driven by generators in the brain, and stabilized by reflex arcs involving the spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Its frequency is fixed...

... patients were gynecomastia, impotence and essential tremor. Frederickson type IV hyperlipemia was present in 1 patient. Hormonal stimulation tests in 2 patients elicited a borderline low testicular response in the younger of the 2 and a pathological response in the older patient. On the evidence...

...S. Topaktas; R. Onur; T. Dalkara Acute effects of two calcium blockers, nifedipine and verapamil, were investigated on the tremor activity of 8 patients with essential tremor and compared with those of propranolol and placebo. Following a single oral dose of 10 mg of nifedipine, tremor intensity...

...P. Salisachs; A. Codina; S. Gimenez-Roldan; J.J. Zarranz We present a study of 7 cases of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, associated with a dyskinesia clinically identical with essential tremor, in which motor conduction velocity in the upper limbs was normal or slightly diminished. An analysis of age...

...P. Salisachs In the cases of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease associated with essential tremor so far reported, motor conduction velocity studies strongly suggested that demyelination was a prominent feature of the neuropathy. For the first time two sibs are reported in whom the electrophysiological...

..., chronic pain of extremities, acute paroxysmal phenomenon, tremor, emotional dysfunction, anorexia/weight loss, fatigue states, double vision, sexual dysfunction, bowel and bladder dysfunctions, vision dimness, dysfunctions of walking and balance, and memory loss. The MS subjects surveyed have specific...

...Kemal Balci; Ufuk Utku; Sebahattin Cobanoglu Myoclonic tremor due to cortical lesions is a rare condition and must be distinguished from other causes of tremor. This is because the treatment strategies of tremor may differ due to the various etiologies. We present here two cases with myoclonic...

...Bradley J. Davis; John O’Connell Objective: To measure the amplitude of physiological tremor in normal subjects using a novel method in an attempt to characterize some of the components of physiological tremor. Background: Current methods of measuring tremor are limited in their capability...
