tics are sudden, recurrent and stereotyped motor movements or vocalizations. dopamine blockers are the main pharmacological agents used in the management of tics. opioid antagonists have been reported to have been effective in the management of tics. in this article, two patients with chronic motor tic disorder are reported, whose symptoms were disappeared by using opioid substances.

We have investigated if subjects are aware of what natural tongue movements look like, by showing them animations based on either measurements or rule-based synthesis. The issue is of interest since a previous audiovisual speech perception study recently showed that the word recognition rate in sentences with degraded audio was significantly better with real tongue movements than with synthesiz...

Cervical dystonia is characterized by abnormal posturing of the head, often combined with tremor-like oscillatory head movements. The nature and source of these oscillatory head movements is controversial, so they were quantified to delineate their characteristics and develop a hypothetical model for their genesis. A magnetic search coil system was used to measure head movements in 14 subjects ...

The aim of this split-mouth experimental study was to determine (1) whether corticotomy procedures increase tooth movement and (2) the effects of a second corticotomy procedure after 4 weeks on the rate of tooth movement. The mandibular third and maxillary second premolars of five skeletally mature male foxhounds, approximately 2 years of age, were extracted. One randomly selected mandibular qu...

To examine the role of basal ganglia-cortical circuits in movement initiation, we trained monkeys to make the same arm movements in two ways-in immediate reaction to a randomly timed external cue (cued movements) and also following a variable delay without an explicit initiation signal (self-timed movements). The two movement types were interleaved and balanced in overall timing to allow a dire...

Has the occurrence of “extreme capital flow movements”—episodes sudden surges, stops, flight and retrenchment—changed since Global Financial Crisis (GFC)? And was period at outset Covid any different? This paper addresses these questions by updating building on dataset methodology introduced in Forbes Warnock (2012) to calculate sharp movements foreigners domestics into out individual countries...

Cholinergic hypofunction was believed to be associated with the pathogenesis of tardive dyskinesia, and therefore, anticholinergic treatment might exacerbate the condition. We describe herein a middle-aged male with feeble chewing movements, involuntary rolling motions of the tongue, and abnormally tightened cheeks which developed after consuming different psychotropic medications. These sympto...
