Tremor Is Highly Responsive to Levodopa in Advanced Parkinson's Disease
Swinnen BEKS, Frequin HL, Wiggerts Y, Espay AJ, Beudel M and de Bie RMA
Tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) is commonly regarded as less responsive to levodopa than bradykinesia and rigidity, with levodopa-resistant PD tremor considered relatively common.

Pregnancy in Dystonia or Tourette's Patients with DBS. Fourteen News Cases and a Review of the Literature
Mehanna R, Tarakad A, Taneff LY and Furr Stimming E
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been demonstrated to improve quality of life in patients with refractory dystonia and Tourette's syndrome (TS). Because of the young age at onset of these disorders, and the marked benefit from DBS, pregnancy in patients who have received DBS is becoming a more frequent clinical occurrence, although clear management guidelines are lacking.
Intersection of Sleep Disorders and Parkinson Disease: Unveiling the Bidirectional Relationship
Antelmi E, Lanza G, Mogavero MP, Mingolla GP, Plazzi G, Ferini-Strambi L, Ferri R and Tinazzi M
Patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) frequently exhibit non-motor symptoms, particularly sleep disturbances. Sleep disorders in PD patients are intricately linked to the pathogenesis and progression of PD itself, exacerbating neurodegenerative processes and worsening patient quality of life.
Association of Hemispheric Asymmetry of Dopamine-Transporter Binding with Risk of Parkinsonian Depression
Fernández-Espejo E and Rodríguez de Fonseca F
Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder diagnosed in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). A direct role in PD depression for loss of dopaminergic terminals and dopamine-transporter (DAT) expression in the striatum is revealed by many studies.
Exploring the Impact of Parkinson's Disease on Driving: A Population-Based Survey
Meinders MJ, Maas BR, Bloem BR, van Geluk H and Darweesh SKL
Persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience progressive motor and non-motor symptoms which may influence their ability to drive a car. This is experienced as a massive challenge by many affected individuals, for whom being able to drive a car is vital to maintain functional independence.

Combined Habit Reversal Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Treatment of Tics in Tourette Syndrome: A Pilot Study of Effectiveness and Response Duration
Eisenhauer J, Buckland A, Watson S and Stell R
Few studies have examined the effectiveness and duration of mindfulness-based therapies for tics in Tourette's syndrome. This study combined habit reversal therapy (HRT) with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
Preferences regarding Disclosure of Risk for Parkinson's Disease in a Population-based Study
Mahlknecht P, Leiter S, Horlings C, Schwarzová K, Egner I, Stockner H, Marini K, Theyer C, Zamarian L, Djamshidian A, Seppi K, Farfan F, Garrido A, Ghosh S, Krüger R, McIntyre D, Mollenhauer B, Noyce A, Pauly C, Pilco-Janeta DF, Rege K, Satagopam VP, Schade S, Simonet C, Trenkwalder C, Poewe W and
Preferences for risk disclosure in population-based studies assessing Parkinson's disease (PD) risk have not been assessed so far.
Patient Perspectives on Upper-Limb Daily Function in Parkinson's Disease
Cohen N and Kizony R
Dexterity impairments are common among people with Parkinson's disease (PWP), yet little is understood about the effect of upper-limb (UL) dysfunction on daily activity performance.

Cranial Tremors in Essential Tremor: Prevalence, Anatomic Distribution and Predictors of Occurrence
Louis ED
There are few published data on the prevalence, pattern of anatomic distribution and predictors of various cranial tremors (eg, head, voice, jaw) in essential tremor (ET). Given the high levels of diagnostic misclassification in ET, data on observed clinical patterns would be valuable.

Wilson's disease (WD) results from pathogenic ATP7B gene variations, causing copper accumulation mainly in the liver, brain, and kidneys.
Differentiating Postural and Kinetic Tremor Responses to Deep Brain Stimulation in Essential Tremor
Butler RD, Brinda AK, Blumenfeld M, Bryants MN, Grund PM, Pandey SR, Cornish CKS, Sullivan D, Krieg J, Umoh M, Vitek JL, Almeida L, Orcutt T, Cooper SE and Johnson MD
While deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) of thalamus or posterior subthalamic area (PSA) can suppress forms of action tremor in people with Essential Tremor, previous studies have suggested postural tremor may respond more robustly than kinetic tremor to DBS.
