recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Journal of Neurology"

DOI: 10.1007/s00415-025-13220-y

Abstract: Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by involuntary, paroxysmal contractions of muscles innervated by the facial nerve that can lead to a negative impact on daily activities, including reading or driving, as well as psychosocial well-being.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-024-06407-1

Abstract: Currently available grading and classification systems for hemifacial spasm either rely on subjective assessments or are excessively intricate. Here, we make use of facial recognition and facial tracking technologies towards accurately grouping patients according to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.joa.2017.04.006

Abstract: The coronary artery diseases (CAD) that can lead to the occurrence of a syncopal attack include acute coronary syndrome, vasospastic angina, effort angina, and prior myocardial infarction. The possible mechanisms considered to lead to syncope… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acschembio.2c00621

Abstract: Triceptides are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides characterized by three-residue cyclophanes. The cyclophanes are installed by radical SAM/SPASM maturases referred to as 3-residue cyclophane forming enzymes (3-CyFEs) which catalyze C(sp2)-Cβ(sp3) bond formation on three… read more here.
