Summary
Movement disorders linked to neuronal antibodies can be reversed with early treatment. Specific movement patterns may indicate antibody type, aiding diagnosis and improving patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Immunology
Background:
- Neuronal antibodies are associated with potentially reversible neurological disorders.
- Movement disorders, including hypokinetic and hyperkinetic involuntary movements, are common clinical features.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the spectrum of movement disorders associated with neuronal antibodies.
- To highlight how specific movement disorder phenotypes can suggest particular antibodies.
- To discuss treatment strategies for these antibody-associated movement disorders.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of antibodies and associated movement disorders.
- Analysis of distinct movement disorder phenomenology as diagnostic clues.
- Review of current treatment options for antibody-mediated movement disorders.
Main Results:
- The range of movement disorders linked to neuronal antibodies is expanding.
- Specific movement patterns, such as facio-brachial dystonic seizures (LGI-1 antibodies) and orofacial lingual dyskinesia (NMDAR antibodies), are indicative of certain antibodies.
- Early suspicion and targeted antibody testing are crucial.
Conclusions:
- Specific movement disorders can guide the suspicion and testing for particular neuronal antibodies.
- Prompt treatment initiation for antibody-associated movement disorders can lead to better clinical outcomes.
- Increased physician awareness of these conditions is essential for timely intervention.

00:51Anatomical Movements
15.7K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

02:18Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
19.5K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

01:43The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles
6.4K
In eukaryotic cells, cytoskeletal filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form a mesh-like cytoskeletal network. These filaments serve as tracks for transporting cellular cargo. Specialized motor proteins use the chemical energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for this transport. During interphase, microtubules are polarized, with the plus-end towards the cell periphery and the minus-end towards the cell center. Two microtubule-associated motor proteins,...

Overview
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

01:18Fluid Movement Between Compartments
4.0K
The force applied by fluids against a surface, known as hydrostatic pressure, initiates the transfer of fluid among different compartments. Within our blood vessels, the blood's hydrostatic pressure is a result of the heart's pumping action. At the arteriolar end of capillaries, hydrostatic pressure (capillary blood pressure) exceeds the opposing colloid osmotic pressure created primarily by plasma proteins like albumin. This discrepancy in pressure propels plasma and nutrients from the...

01:27Movement Joints in Buildings

Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
