The role of genetics in the treatment of dystonia with deep brain stimulation: Systematic review and Meta-analysis. J Neurol Sci 2024; 459:122970. [PMID: 38520940 DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2024.122970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions that lead to involuntary postures or repetitive movements. Genetic mutations are being increasingly recognized as a cause of dystonia. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is one of the limited treatment options available. However, there are varying reports on its efficacy in genetic dystonias. This systematic review of the characteristics of genetic dystonias treated with DBS and their outcomes aims to aid in the evaluation of eligibility for such treatment. METHODS We performed a PUBMED search of all papers related to genetic dystonias and DBS up until April 2022. In addition to performing a systematic review, we also performed a meta-analysis to assess the role of the mutation on DBS response. We included cases that had a confirmed genetic mutation and DBS along with pre-and post-operative BFMDRS. RESULTS Ninety-one reports met our inclusion criteria and from them, 235 cases were analyzed. Based on our analysis DYT-TOR1A dystonia had the best evidence for DBS response and Rapid-Onset Dystonia Parkinsonism was among the least responsive to DBS. CONCLUSION While our report supports the role of genetics in DBS selection and response, it is limited by the rarity of the individual genetic conditions, the reliance on case reports and case series, and the limited ability to obtain genetic testing on a large scale in real-time as opposed to retrospectively as in many cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second leading neurodegenerative disease worldwide. Important advances in monitoring and treatment have been made in recent years. This article reviews literature on utility of smartphone applications in monitoring PD symptoms that may ultimately facilitate improved patient care, and on movement modulation as a potential therapeutic. REVIEW SUMMARY Novel mobile phone applications can provide one-time and/or continuous data to monitor PD motor symptoms in person or remotely, that may support precise therapeutic adjustments and management decisions. Apps have also been developed for medication management and treatment. CONCLUSIONS Smartphone applications provide a wide array of platforms allowing for meaningful short-term and long-term data collection and are also being tested for intervention. However, the variability of the applications and the need to translate complicated sensor data may hinder immediate clinical applicability. Future studies should involve stake-holders early in the design process to promote usability and streamline the interface between patients, clinicians, and PD apps.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient education is an essential part of management of complex, disabling neurological disorders. Mobile web-based educational materials provide a novel and potentially valuable means to communicate clinical information that can aid in both medical management and rehabilitation. AIMS We, therefore, evaluated an educational tablet-based intervention in three patient cohorts regarding the following topics: Parkinson's disease (PD) medications, dystonia and botulinum toxin treatment. METHODS A total of 50 subjects with PD, 32 with dystonia and 61 receiving botulinum toxin treatment for movement disorders or sialorrhoea were enrolled. Participants in each cohort completed a specific educational module at the time of their regularly scheduled clinic visit, comprising slides, in addition to pre- and post-module quizzes and a satisfaction survey. Additionally, participants in the dystonia and botulinum toxin modules were given a follow-up test at their 3- or 6-month clinical treatment visit. RESULTS There were 143 participants with 50 completing the PD module, 32 completing the dystonia module and 61 completing the botulinum toxin module. All three groups demonstrated significant improvement in knowledge of module content between their pre- and post-module test scores (PD: p=.0001, dystonia: p<.0001 and botulinum toxin: p=.008), and those who took the dystonia module maintained significant improvement at either a 3- or 6-month follow up compared to pre-module (p <.0001). CONCLUSIONS Tablet-based teaching modules are an effective means of communicating key concepts to patients. This study supports their use for improving patient understanding that can support lifelong approaches to managing disabling, neurological conditions.Implication for RehabilitationTablet-based modules are relatively easy to use for enhancing education during clinic visits and can possibly help reduce and maintain disability with chronic conditions like Parkinson's disease and dystonia.Improvements in post-test scores suggested that patient participants were able to retain information from the tablets about their complex and challenging conditions and treatments.Adding patients who are fluent in another language would have made this study more generalizable and future studies exploring educational interventions are warranted to help better tailor interventions to patients with chronic neurologic illnesses to help understand the complex aspects of their medical and rehabilitation therapy.The effect of cognitive changes in neurological conditions and understanding of educational information needs to be further tested.This positive result is especially meaningful during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person access to both medical and rehabilitative care has been curtailed.

Automating Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Culture and Differentiation of iPSC-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelium for Personalized Drug Testing. SLAS Technol 2020; 26:287-299.

Abstract
Derivation and differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provide the opportunity to generate medically important cell types from individual patients and patient populations for research and the development of potential cell therapies. This technology allows disease modeling and drug screening to be carried out using diverse population cohorts and with more relevant cell phenotypes than can be accommodated using traditional immortalized cell lines. However, technical complexities in the culture and differentiation of hiPSCs, including lack of scale and standardization and prolonged experimental timelines, limit the adoption of this technology for many large-scale studies, including personalized drug screening. The entry of reproducible end-to-end automated workflows for hiPSC culture and differentiation, demonstrated on commercially available platforms, provides enhanced accessibility of this technology for both research laboratories and commercial pharmaceutical testing. Here we have utilized TECAN Fluent automated cell culture workstations to perform hiPSC culture and differentiation in a reproducible and scalable process to generate patient-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells for downstream use, including drug testing. hiPSCs derived from multiple donors with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were introduced into our automated workflow, and cell lines were cultured and differentiated into retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Donor hiPSC-RPE lines were subsequently entered in an automated drug testing workflow to measure mitochondrial function after exposure to "mitoactive" compounds. This work demonstrates scalable, reproducible culture and differentiation of hiPSC lines from individuals on the TECAN Fluent platform and illustrates the potential for end-to-end automation of hiPSC-based personalized drug testing.

Abstract
PURPOSE Freezing of gait (FOG) is a disabling phenomenon defined by the periodic absence or reduction of forward progression of the feet despite the intention to walk. We sought to understand whether Google Glass (GG), a lightweight wearable device that provides simultaneous visual-auditory cues, might improve FOG in parkinsonism. METHODS Patients with parkinsonism and FOG utilized GG custom-made auditory-visual cue applications: "Walk With Me" and "Unfreeze Me" in a single session intervention. We recorded ambulation time with and without GG under multiple conditions including 25 feet straight walk, dual task of performing serial 7's while straight walking, 180 degree turn after walking 25 feet, and walking through a doorway. FOG and patient experience questionnaires were administered. RESULTS Using the GG "Walk With Me" program, improvements were noted in the following: average 25 feet straight walk by 0.32 s (SD 2.12); average dual task of serial 7's and 25 feet straight walk by 1.79 s (SD 2.91); and average walk through doorway by 0.59 s (SD 0.81). Average 180 degree turn after 25 feet walk worsened by 1.89 s (SD 10.66). Using the "Unfreeze Me" program, only the average dual task of serial 7's and 25 feet straight walk improved (better by 0.82 s (SD 3.08 sec). All other tasks had worse performance in terms of speed of completion. CONCLUSION This feasibility study provides preliminary data suggesting that some walking tasks may improve with GG, which uses various musical dance programs to provide visual and auditory cueing for patients with FOG.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONFreezing of gait in parkinsonian syndromes is a disabling motor block described by patients as having their feet stuck to the floor leading to difficulty in initiation of gait and increased risk for falls.Wearable assistive devices such as Google Glass™ use visual and auditory cueing that may improve gait pattern in patients with freezing of gait.Augmented reality programs using wearable assistive devices are a home-based therapy, with the potential for reinforcing physical therapy techniques; this is especially meaningful during the COVID-19 pandemic when access to both medical and rehabilitative care has been curtailed.

Fruit bats (Pteropodidae) fuel their metabolism rapidly and directly with exogenous sugars. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2010; 213:2693-9.

Abstract
Previous studies reported that fed bats and birds mostly use recently acquired exogenous nutrients as fuel for flight, rather than endogenous fuels, such as lipids or glycogen. However, this pattern of fuel use may be a simple size-related phenomenon because, to date, only small birds and bats have been studied with respect to the origin of metabolized fuel, and because small animals carry relatively small energy reserves, considering their high mass-specific metabolic rate. We hypothesized that approximately 150 g Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus Pteropodidae), which are more than an order of magnitude heavier than previously studied bats, also catabolize dietary sugars directly and exclusively to fuel both rest and flight metabolism. We based our expectation on the observation that these animals rapidly transport ingested dietary sugars, which are absorbed via passive paracellular pathways in the intestine, to organs of high energy demand. We used the stable carbon isotope ratio in exhaled CO(2) (delta(13)C(breath)) to assess the origin of metabolized substrates in 16 Egyptian fruit bats that were maintained on a diet of C3 plants before experiments. First, we predicted that in resting bats delta(13)C(breath) remains constant when bats ingest C3 sucrose, but increases and converges on the dietary isotopic signature when C4 sucrose and C4 glucose are ingested. Second, if flying fruit bats use exogenous nutrients exclusively to fuel flight, we predicted that delta(13)C(breath) of flying bats would converge on the isotopic signature of the C4 sucrose they were fed. Both resting and flying Egyptian fruit bats, indeed, directly fuelled their metabolism with freshly ingested exogenous substrates. The rate at which the fruit bats oxidized dietary sugars was as fast as in 10 g nectar-feeding bats and 5 g hummingbirds. Our results support the notion that flying bats, irrespective of their size, catabolize dietary sugars directly, and possibly exclusively, to fuel flight.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are to assess (a) the level of depressive symptoms among a cohort of HIV infected women and comparable controls and (b) the relationship with covariates including socioeconomic status, substance use, social relations, disease status. METHODS Participants were enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS). Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD). Data from 1993 HIV seropositive and 551 seronegative women are presented. RESULTS Of HIV positive women 57.7% of HIV positive women scored 16 or higher on the CESD (ns) as compared to 55.0% of HIV negative women; at a cutoff of 23, the percents were 40.4% and 35.9% respectively (p = .06). The mean score was high 19.8 but not significantly different between groups. Scores were higher among women who had less education, lower income, were of Hispanic ethnicity, used alcohol or drugs, experienced domestic abuse, had more than one partner, or had less supportive relationships. Among infected women, higher CESD scores were not significantly associated with CD4 cell count but were elevated for self-reported Class C AIDS defining clinical conditions. CONCLUSIONS The scores on the CESD were elevated for both HIV positive and HIV negative women and the differences between the groups were small. Lower socioeconomic status and social support and higher substance use and domestic abuse were associated with depressive symptoms similarly for both groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and effect of domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse in women with HIV or at risk for HIV infection. METHODS Participants with HIV or at risk for HIV infection enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study. Childhood sexual abuse; all physical, sexual, and coercive violence by a partner; HIV serostatus; demographic data; and substance use and sexual habits were assessed. RESULTS The lifetime prevalence of domestic violence was 66% and 67%, respectively, in 1288 women with HIV and 357 uninfected women. One quarter of the women reported recent abuse, and 31% of the HIV-seropositive women and 27% of the HIV-seronegative women reported childhood sexual abuse. Childhood sexual abuse was strongly associated with a lifetime history of domestic violence and high-risk behaviors, including using drugs, having more than 10 male sexual partners and having male partners at risk for HIV infection, and exchanging sex for drugs, money, or shelter. CONCLUSIONS Our data support the hypothesis of a continuum of risk, with early childhood abuse leading to later domestic violence, which may increase the risk of behaviors leading to HIV infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To document the sexual and contraceptive practices of women with HIV infection or who are at risk for infection. DESIGN Data on the baseline behaviors of 561 HIV-negative and 2040 HIV-positive women were collected as part of the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS). WIHS is a multisite, longitudinal study following the natural history of HIV infection among women in the United States. METHODS Each participant contributed an interviewer administered, self-report interview including questions on sexual and contraceptive behavior. RESULTS Women with HIV were less likely to report heterosexual activity in the previous 6 months (65% HIV-positive, 76% HIV-negative). Among sexually active women, there were no differences in the proportion of those reporting vaginal (97% HIV-positive, 98% HIV-negative) or anal sex (12% HIV-positive, 10% HIV-negative), although women with HIV were less likely to report cunnilingus (41% HIV-positive, 70% HIV-negative) and fellatio (48% HIV-positive, 57% HIV-negative). Of women with HIV, 63% always used condoms during vaginal sex (versus 28% HIV-negative), with lower rates reported during other sexual activities. Crack, cocaine, or injecting drug use, reported by 27% of HIV-positive and 35% of HIV-negative women, was associated with inconsistent condom use, independent of serostatus. HIV-positive women who reported using condoms and another contraception method were less consistent condom users (57% consistent versus 67%). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of sexual risk behavior in this sample suggests that, although women with HIV exhibit lower levels of sexual risk behavior than uninfected women, many have not been successfully reached with regard to implementing safer behaviors. These findings have implications for more widespread and effective behavioral intervention efforts.

Abstract
: A new energy-dispersive spectrometer Si(Li) detector for microanalysis applications, cooled by a thermoelectric (Peltier) refrigerator, was significantly improved with regard to the resolution and high count-rate performance. This new detector was mounted on a JEOL 6400 scanning electron microscope, and several application tests were run to analyze its performance. The common resolution test using an Fe55 radioactive source was performed, and it was compared with the conventional liquid nitrogen (LN) detector. The resolution at low and high count-rate was found to be slightly less than the LN detector's performance; however, these differences are minor and most application requirements were easily met. The thermoelectric cooling mechanism was found to be stable and reliable with no degradation in its performance recorded during several years of use. The collected data show improved performance by the new thermoelectrically cooled (TEC) detector compared with the old TEC design and underscore performance very close to the LN product. For most microanalysis applications, the new TEC X-ray detector can easily replace the LN detector and avoid the maintenance associated with LN filling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Few comparisons of factors associated with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV are available for representative samples of American women. GOAL OF THE STUDY To compare factors associated with STDs in a large sample of women infected with HIV and women not infected with HIV. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional analysis of STDs in 2,058 women seropositive (HIV+) for HIV and 567 women seronegative (HIV-) for HIV. RESULTS HIV + women were more likely than HIV- women to report previous STDs, with the exceptions of chlamydia and bacterial vaginosis. Both HIV status and CD4 lymphocyte count were associated with evidence of genital ulcerations, warts, and vaginal candidiasis (p <0.001 for all). HIV- women were more apt to report recent vaginal intercourse (p <0.001), a factor that was independently associated with the occurrence of bacterial and protozoan infections. CD4 lymphocyte depletion was the factor most closely associated with the expression of chronic viral infections. CONCLUSIONS In this North American cohort, HIV+ women were more likely than HIV- women to report previous genital tract infections and symptoms. However, the HIV+ women reported less recent sexual activity and few gonococcal or chlamydial infections.

Abstract
The nature of the alkaline hydrolysis of some barbiturates in combinations with parabens (p-hydroxybenzoates) was studied with controlled variables, including temperature, viscosity, and concentrations of sodium hydroxide, barbiturate, and parabens. The kinetic studies showed that parabens could be completely hydrolyzed in strong base at 40 degrees C in 1 hr, while the barbiturate remained intact and was readily isolated by partition chromatography, Based on the theoretical results, a partition chromatographic procedure for butabarbital with parabens was devised. Standard recoveries averaged 100.7% with a standard deviation of 0.89. Kinetic data indicate that the hydrolysis of parabens could also be applied to analyze combinations with amo-, seco-, and pentobarbitals. Phenobarbital and parabens are readily separated by partition chromatographic methods without prior hydrolysis of the parabens. The low extraction constant for phenobarbital allowed its retention on a column against relatively strong solvents while the intact parabens are eluted. A slightly modified method was applied to the separation of phenobarbital from parabens. Standard recoveries average 99.9% with a standard deviation of 0.69.

Abstract
The partition of tolbutamide (1-butyl-3-(p-tolylsulfonyl) urea) as ion-pairs with homologous tetraalkyl ammonium cations was studied. The determination of experimental extraction constants permitted quantitative calculation of distribution ratios, in agreement with theoretical relationships, over a continuous range of about one billion. The nature and the concentration of the counter-ion and solvent composition were the variables studied. Based on the theoretical results, a rapid partition chromatographic procedure was devised. A solution of tolbutamide sample in 10% aqueous tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide is incorporated in the system as the immobile phase in the partition column. A 1+1 mixture of chloroform and isooctane removes extraneous materials; then chloroform elutes the tolbutamide-tetraethyl ammonium ion-pair, which is converted to the free acid by passing the eluate through a phosphoric acid segment, and tolbutamide is determined spectrophotometrically without further treatment. Standard recoveries averaged 100.5+/-0.70%; commercial tablets assayed 100.5+/-0.85%.

Abstract
A general method for the analysis of barbiturates, using column parition chromatography, was extended to the assay of secobarbital, amobarbital, and pentobarbital. A solution of the barbiturate constitutes the immobile phase in the chromatographic system. It is eluted with ether-isooctane (1+9) and passed onto a K3PO4 column, which retains the barbiturate while extraneous materials are washed out. The barbiturate is removed from the column with etherisooctane (3+1), extracted from the eluate with NH3, and measured spectrophotometrically.
