1. Relationship between oral transit time and functional performance in motor neuron disease
RESUMO O comprometimento na fase oral da deglutição na doença do neurônio motor (DNM) é ocasionado por fraqueza, fasciculação e atrofia de língua, podendo comprometer o tempo de trânsito oral (TTO) e o tempo total de alimentação. Objetivo: Descrever e relacionar o tempo de trânsito oral total (TTOT) com o desempenho funcional na DNM em distintas

2. Spinocerebellar ataxias: genotype-phenotype correlations in 104 Brazilian families
OBJECTIVE: Spinocerebellar ataxias are neurodegenerative disorders involving the cerebellum and its connections. There are more than 30 distinct subtypes, 16 of which are associated with an identified gene. The aim of the current study was to evaluate a large group of patients from 104 Brazilian families with spinocerebellar ataxias. METHODS: We studied 150

3. FEZ1 protein : little organizational structure, activities related to elements of the cytoskeleton and generation of the "flower like" phenotype / A proteina FEZ1 : pouca organização estrutural, atividades associadas a elementos do citoesqueleto e formação do fenotipo "flower like"
FEZ1 was identified first as a orthologue of C elegans UNC-76 protein, that plays functions related to neuronal development in this worm. Subsequent studies, shows FEZ1 functions in neuronal development process, cell polarization, transport mechanisms associated to kinesins and vesicular and mitochondrial transports. Other works showed that FEZ1 superexpress

4. SPIDER ENVENOMING OF DOG - CASE REPORT
This report refers to a female Pinscher treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Botucatu School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry (FMVZ)-São Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, 14 hours after a suspected spider envenoming. The animal showed spastic limbs, dyspnea, salivation, hypothermia, muscular fasciculation, non-responsive mydriasis, a

5. SCORPION ANTIVENOM REVERSES METABOLIC, ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC, AND HORMONAL DISTURBANCES CAUSED BY THE INDIAN RED SCORPION Mesobuthus tamulus concanesis, Pocock ENVENOMATION
Electrocardiographic (ECG) changes were induced in dogs by injection of scorpion venom from Mesobuthus tamulus concanesis, Pocock. Venom (3 mg/kg body weight) was given subcutaneously (SQ) while 10 ml of scorpion antivenom (SAV) was administered intravenously (IV) to experimental dogs. Group 1 received only the venom; Groups 2, 3, and 4 received SAV at 0, 30

6. Involvement of the nerve growth factor-inducible large external glycoprotein (NILE) in neurite fasciculation in primary cultures of rat brain.
The nerve growth factor-inducible large external glycoprotein (NILE) has been found only on the surface of neuronal cells and Schwann cells. Since NILE seems to be concentrated on neurites, we have investigated its possible role in the development of neurites in primary cultures of rat brain. Cultures of embryonic day 14 (E14) whole brain and cultures of pos

7. Phosphorylation-dependent regulation of axon fasciculation.
Axons often grow along other axons to produce bundles called fascicles, and a number of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) found on axon surfaces contribute to this process. The surprising observation that Fab fragments against individual CAMs can completely block fascicle formation suggests that the different axon-associated CAMs are functionally linked. The pr

8. Fibrillation potentials, positive sharp waves and fasciculation in the intrinsic muscles of the foot in healthy subjects.
The extensor digitorum brevis and abductor digiti minimi muscles were examined bilaterally with electromyography in 53 healthy subjects. In 72% of the subjects either fibrillation potentials, positive sharp waves or fasciculation was seen in at least one muscle examined. These slight, usually symmetric neuropathic signs are believed to be associated with nor

9. Diagnosis of motor neuron disease by neurologists: a study in three countries.
Ninety four neurologists in the United Kingdom, China, and West Germany responded to two structured questionnaires. The first assessed the diagnostic weighting assigned to a number of symptoms, signs, and clinical investigations ascertained from classical descriptions and case notes of patients with motor neuron disease (MND). The second tested the likelihoo

10. Sek4 and Nuk receptors cooperate in guidance of commissural axons and in palate formation.
Sek4 and Nuk are members of the Eph-related family of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases. These receptors interact with a set of cell surface ligands that have recently been implicated in axon guidance and fasciculation. We now demonstrate that the formation of the corpus callosum and anterior commissure, two major commissural axon tracts that connect the two

11. Muscle potentials simulating pacemaker malfunction.
Interference spikes were noted on the electrocardiogram of a patient with an implanted demand pacemaker. Runaway malfunction was suspected and the generator replaced. Subsequent investigation showec that the interference originated from fasciculation in the left leg caused by underlying neuromuscular disease. Skeletal muscle potentials can produce an electro

12. Severe muscle cramps relieved by transcutaneous nerve stimulation: a case report.
The case is described of a 51-year-old man with a 21 year history of severe, long-lasting and widespread muscle cramps. Physical examination revealed muscle hypertrophy and fasciculation; electromyography showed spontaneously active motor units which disappeared during sleep. Cramps could be aborted by ice or mechanical vibration but the most effective manag
