Riding back to Honolulu airport after attending & presenting at the #MDSCongress. Charles, the Lyft driver, has a theme for every 2 months of the year. This is Oct-Nov Halloween Mario theme. He also takes it upon himself to teach passengers something about Hawaii. Great conference & great Lyft ride!

Great sessions in @movedisorder.bsky.social congress in #Honolulu with outstanding speakers and excellent organization. I must say, however, that the poster session is a disaster. The traditional way works much better. 1/3

This is an important study that agrees with previous reports suggesting gabapentin & pregabalin use as a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. My only major concern is that spinal and orthopedic surgery or surgery in general was not used in the propensity score matching procedure. 1/5

Our review 'Update on the Treatment of Autonomic Disorders' just got published. We discuss non-pharmacological, pharmacological, and neuromodulatory and device options for autonomic disorders in a very clinic-oriented way. This is an important topic for neurologists and primary care physicians.

Mind-blowing case of the day. This guy w/ Parkinson's has a left leg amputation. Later he develops phantom dystonia in the region of the missing limb? Eid, Rodrigo, and Norris teach us about the phenomenon through a case they published in the Movement Disorders Clinical Practice Journal.

Our report on PD-Related Phantom Dystonia in an Amputated Limb just got published in @mdcp-journal.bsky.social. Fascinating phenomenon; to my knowledge, never been reported before though other reported phenomena e.g. virtual dystonia are possibly related. PDF: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

Like most, I’m worried about the course of action the new US administration is taking towards scientific activity and healthcare. However, I don’t think the appropriate long-term response is to ensure administrations take a different course in the future. 1/2

Led by Dr. Erika Weil, we publish a report in Neurology highlighting a patient with striatal ePVSs (beautifully captured on 7T MRI) likely responsible for her impaired executive function as suggested by reduced striatal & normal cortical metabolism (FDG PET) and neg Aβ PET. doi.org/10.1212/WNL....
