Tremor is an involuntary movement often associated with common diseases such as essential tremor and Parkinson's disease, while myoclonus is characterized by sudden, short muscle contractions that can ...

Herein, we report the case of a Japanese patient who presented with myoclonus during the neonatal period, profound intellectual disability, seizures, and a de novo heterozygous H3F3A variant. To the ...

Unified myoclonus rating scale (UMRS), a clinical videorecorded test panel, is the gold standard currently used to evaluate myoclonus. The researchers analysed 10 videorecorded UMRS test panels using ...

Fast, reliable and automatic assessment of the severity of myoclonic jerks from video footage is now possible, thanks to an algorithm using deep convolutional neural network architecture and ...

The severity of epilepsy-related muscle pricking symptoms can be reliably estimated with artificial intelligence, according to a recent study. An artificial intelligence-based tool was used to analyze ...

A new study shows that wearable sensor technology can be used to reliably assess the occurrence of myoclonic jerks in patients with epilepsy also in the home environment. A new study by the University ...

This is a 20-year-old wheelchair athlete with history of caudal regression syndrome and cervical canal stenosis who developed spinal segmental myoclonus following routine intubation for an elective ...

Dementia worsens as the nerve cells in the brain become progressively damaged and can no longer function. Over time, this can jeopardise a person's thinking abilities and motor skills. This is why ...

A 63-year-old woman with a history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that had been treated 25 years previously, as well as a history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, transient ischemic attack, and acute ...

Dementia is a syndrome of ongoing brain decline, beyond what can be expected as a result of old age. The condition is often recognised when signs of pronounced memory loss emerge. There are, however, ...

In a pioneering study, from the Expertise Centre for Movement Disorders in Groningen, Machine Learning, a core area of artificial intelligence (AI), is successfully used for the first time to ...
