Incidence of Epilepsy and Seizures Over the First 6 Months After a COVID-19 Diagnosis
(2022-11)Background and Objectives The relationship between COVID-19 and epilepsy is uncertain. We studied the potential association between COVID-19 and seizures or epilepsy in the 6 months after infection. Methods We applied ... -
Neurological and psychiatric risk trajectories after SARS-CoV-2 infection: an analysis of 2-year retrospective cohort studies including 1 284 437 patients
(2022-08)COVID-19 is associated with increased risks of neurological and psychiatric sequelae in the weeks and months thereafter. How long these risks remain, whether they affect children and adults similarly, and whether SARS-CoV-2 ... -
A feasibility study to determine whether the daily consumption of flavonoid-rich pure cocoa has the potential to reduce fatigue and fatigability in people with Parkinson's (pwP)
(2022-01)Summary Flavonoids, plant compounds found in certain foods, may have the ability to improve fatigue and fatigability. However, to date, no well-designed intervention studies assessing the role of flavonoid consumption for ... -
Outcomes of importance to children and young adults with cerebral palsy, their parents and health professionals following lower limb orthopaedic surgery: A qualitative study to inform a Core Outcome Set
(2022-02)Introduction: Although several outcomes are commonly measured to assess the effect of surgery for young people with cerebral palsy (CP), these are selected mainly by health professionals and researchers. Including the ... -
Exploring the factors that influence stakeholders’ expectations and subsequent perception of lower limb orthopaedic surgical outcomes for ambulant children with cerebral palsy – a qualitative study
(2022-01)Purpose: To explore the perspectives of children with CP, their parents or carers, and health professionals on factors affecting expectations and perceptions of surgical outcomes for lower limb orthopaedic surgery. Materials ... -
A web-based life-style, exercise and activity intervention for people with progressive multiple sclerosis: Results of a single-arm feasibility study
(2021-11)Background People with progressive Multiple Sclerosis often struggle to access appropriate and inclusive support for regular physical activity. The Lifestyle, Exercise and Activity Package (LEAP-MS) intervention, is a ... -
Longitudinal Changes in Parkinson’s Disease Symptoms with and Without Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder: The Oxford Discovery Cohort Study
(2021-08)Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) comorbid with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) may show more severe motor and non motor symptoms, suggesting a distinct PD subtype. Objective: The aim of this study was ... -
International Multicenter Analysis of Brain Structure Across Clinical Stages of Parkinson’s Disease
(2021-06)ABSTRACT: Background: Brain structure abnormalities throughout the course of Parkinson’s disease have yet to be fully elucidated. Objective: Using a multicenter approach and harmonized analysis methods, we aimed to shed ... -
Physical Activity and Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis: Secondary Outcomes from a Double-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial of Cocoa Flavonoid Drinks
(2021-06)Fatigue is a common and pervasive symptom reducing physical activity in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). Exercise may reduce fatigue, although evidence to guide optimal prescription is limited. Specifically, supportive ... -
An In-vivo 1H-MRS short-echo time technique at 7T: Quantification of metabolites in Chronic Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica Brain Lesions and Normal Appearing Brain Tissue
(2021-05)Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) allows for the non-invasive quantification of neurochemicals and has the potential to differentiate between the pathologically distinct diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS) and AQP4Ab-positive ... -
A web-based physical activity intervention for People with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: Application of consensus-based intervention development guidance.
(2021-03)Objectives People with progressive multiple sclerosis (PwPMS) report that they recognise the benefits of activity on their physical and psychological health but need support to achieve their physical activity goals. We ... -
Mapping brain structural differences and neuroreceptor correlates in Parkinson's disease visual hallucinations: a mega-analysis
(2021-02)Parkinson’s psychosis (PDP) describes a spectrum of symptoms that may arise in Parkinson’s disease (PD) including visual hallucinations (VH). Imaging studies investigating the neural correlates of PDP have been inconsistent ... -
Vascular disease and multiple sclerosis: a post-mortem study exploring their relationships
(2020-09)Vascular comorbidities have a deleterious impact on multiple sclerosis clinical outcomes but it is unclear whether this is mediated by an excess of extracranial vascular disease (i.e. atherosclerosis) and/or of cerebral ... -
The role of pontine lesion location in differentiating multiple sclerosis from vascular risk factor-related small vessel disease
(2020-08)Background: Differentiating multiple sclerosis (MS) from vascular risk factor (VRF)-small vessel disease (SVD) can be challenging. Objective and Methods: In order to determine whether or not pontine lesion location ... -
Outcome domains and measures after lower limb orthopaedic surgery for ambulant children with cerebral palsy: an updated scoping review
(2020-06)Aim: To determine the reported outcome domains and measures used to assess lower limb orthopaedic surgery of ambulant children and young people with cerebral palsy (CP) and map these outcomes to the International Classification ... -
Development of a core outcome set for lower limb orthopaedic surgical interventions in ambulant children and young people with cerebral palsy: a study protocol
(2020-03)Introduction Musculoskeletal deformities and gait deviations are common features in ambulatory cerebral palsy (CP). Deformity correction through lower limb orthopaedic surgery is the standard form of care aimed at improving ... -
Factors associated with fatigue in CNS inflammatory diseases with AQP4 and MOG antibodies
(2020-02)Objective: Fatigue is a common and disabling symptom amongst people withmultiple sclerosis, however it has not been compared across the central nervoussystem (CNS) inflammatory diseases associated with aquaporin-4 (AQP4) ... -
Subthalamic nucleus activity dynamics and limb movement prediction in Parkinson’s disease
(2020-02)Whilst exaggerated bursts of beta frequency band oscillatory synchronization in the subthalamic nucleus have been associated with motor impairment in Parkinson’s disease, a plausible mechanism linking the two phenomena has ... -
Diagnosis Across the Spectrum of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Syndrome
(2019-12)IMPORTANCE: Atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS), including progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and multiple system atrophy (MSA), may be difficult to distinguish in early stages and are ... -
