Nice paper on the differences btwn #myoclonus cases presenting to inpatient vs. outpatient #neurology. #MedEd
Etiological differences:
Inpt:
-Toxic/drug-induced
-Static hypoxic/ischemic
-Parainfectious & metabolic

Outpt:
-Neurodegenerative
-Inflam/autoimmune/paraneoplastic
-Idiopathic

What happens in the brain years after MRIgFUS?

A common disease with high burden.

ET pts compared to non-ET pts in this study had a higher total medication burden, higher comorbidity burden (psychiatric disease, substance abuse, falls), and a higher burden of cost and healthcare utilization. #Tremor #Neurology #MovementDisorders #MedEd
