In recent years, intrathecal baclofen (ITB) has attained an important role in the treatment of severe spasticity and dystonia in children. There are principal differences between the use of ITB in children and its use in neurology and oncology in adults. Here, we present a consensus report on best practice for the treatment of severe spastic and dystonic movement disorders with ITB. Using a pro...
BACKGROUND Intrathecal baclofen (ITB) delivered by programmable pump devices represents an important modality for long-term treatment of severe spinal spasticity. OBJECTIVE One of the serious adverse events is a withdrawal syndrome after sudden interruption of ITB delivery. In this study, we analyzed the frequency and severity of this complication. Treatment recommendations follow. STUDY DE...
We present the case of a 50-year-old female patient with Friedreich ataxia (FA) who was treated successfully with an intrathecal baclofen (ITB)-delivering pump for painful spasms. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of FA where ITB relieved painful and disabling spasms. We suggest that ITB should be considered in the treatment of disabling spasms in patients with FA.
Fourteen patients with primary or secondary dystonia received intrathecal baclofen (ITB) through an implanted pump following a trial dose. Patients were selected for ITB trial if they had clinically unsatisfactory responses to oral antidystonic medications, including oral baclofen. Patients were rated using the Burke-Fahn-Marsden rating scale by a blinded rater after the dose of ITB was optimiz...
OBJECT The aim of this study was to identify the benefits of intraventricular baclofen (IVB) therapy for the treatment of intractable spasticity or dystonia in a subset of patients who had experienced multiple revisions while receiving intrathecal baclofen (ITB) therapy. METHODS The authors reviewed the charts of 22 consecutive patients with intractable spasticity or dystonia who initially un...
BACKGROUND Significant controversy exists regarding the anterolateral structures of the knee. PURPOSE To determine the layer-by-layer anatomic structure of the anterolateral complex of the knee. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS Twenty fresh-frozen cadaveric knees (age range, 38-56 years) underwent a layer-by-layer dissection to systematically expose and identify the vari...
INTRODUCTION Treatment of severe spasticity and dystonia with intrathecal baclofen (ITB) in children has been shown to be effective and has therefore been employed in the Region of Southern Denmark. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyse the efficacy and adverse events since ITB was introduced in 2003. METHODS A total of 46 children who had a baclofen pump from April 2003 to Janua...
To evaluate the values of clinical findings in differential diagnosis between Crohn's disease (CD) and intestinal tuberculosis (ITb), so that better diagnosis strategies could be found, we analysed the records of 30 patients with ITb and 30 patients with CD retrospectively. We reviewed the cardinal symptomatic and physical, radiological, colonoscopic, pathological findings in the patients. Some...
The development of speech recognition engines has traditionally been the territory of low-level development languages such as C. Until recently Java may not have been considered a candidate language for the development of such a speech engine, due to its security restrictions which limited its sound processing features. The release of the Java Sound API as part of the Java Media Framework and t...
Iliotibial band (ITB) friction syndrome is a common overuse injury typically seen in the active athlete population. A nodular lesion on the inner side of the ITB as an etiology or an accompanying lesion from friction syndrome has been rarely reported. A 45-year-old male presented with recurrent pain and a movable nodule at the lateral joint area, diagnosed as ITB friction syndrome. The nodule w...
