I06 Dysphagia In Huntington`s Disease: A Multicenter Study
2014
Background Dysphagia is a common complication of neurogenerative disorders, and a leading cause of death due to aspiration pneumonia. Little is known about the frequency and the characteristics of dysphagia in HD. Well-balanced strategies for treatment and prevention of dysphagia in HD are lacking. Objetives To determine the prevalence of dysphagia in HD. Methods National, multicenter, observational, cross-sectional Study (Spanish EHDN). Dysphagia was assessed using the questionnaire EAT-10 (eating assessment tool), caregiver burden using the SumaCare, functional capacity using the TFC score, disease severity using the Unified HD Rating Scale (UHDRS), psyquiatric status (PBA-s), nutritional…
Fragment‐ and Negative Image‐Based Screening of Phosphodiesterase 10A Inhibitors
2019
A novel virtual screening methodology called fragment‐ and negative image‐based (F‐NiB) screening is introduced and tested experimentally using phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) as a case study. Potent PDE10A‐specific small‐molecule inhibitors are actively sought after for their antipsychotic and neuroprotective effects. The F‐NiB combines features from both fragment‐based drug discovery and negative image‐based (NIB) screening methodologies to facilitate rational drug discovery. The selected structural parts of protein‐bound ligand(s) are seamlessly combined with the negative image of the target's ligand‐binding cavity. This cavity‐ and fragment‐based hybrid model, namely its shape and electr…
El trabajo interdisciplinar en la enfermedad de Huntington
2014
Se argumenta la importancia del trabajo en equipo en la atención de las personas afectadas por la Enfermedad de Huntington y de sus familias, y se describen las principales funciones de los distintos profesionales que han de cubrir sus necesidades en cada una de las etapas de la enfermedad en función de las alteraciones y secuelas. Siguiendo esta premisa, se presenta el trabajo de intervención basado en la complementariedad de distintos profesionales que atienden y cuidan a las personas afectadas por la Enfermedad de Huntington, desarrollado en la Asociación de Corea de Huntington de Castilla y León.
