Introduction: Wilson's disease (WD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that presents mainly with liver symptoms, but may be accompanied by various neurological manifestations. WD can be successfully treated with chelators or zinc salts to correct the abnormal copper metabolism, which usually improves both...
The intention of this analysis was to identify patients with treated Wilson disease (WD) and residual neurological symptoms in order to determine whether or not they were undergoing any treatment in addition to the common decoppering medication. Moreover, the effects of any symptomatic medication we...

A symptom experience framework presented by Hockenberry and Hooke identified multiple antecedents that influence children’s experience of PNS across cancer treatment, including personal (e.g., sex and developmental stage), environmental (e.g., child’s hospitalization), and disease-related (e.g., ...
Proton-pump inhibitors, PPIs, are considered effective therapy for stomach acid suppression due to their irreversible inhibition of the hydrogen/potassium pump in the gastric parietal cells. They are widely prescribed and are considered safe for over-the

Brain copper accumulation commonly causes neurological symptoms in Wilson disease (WD). Many of the neurological manifestations that are present in WD involve movement disorders such as tremor, dysarthria, parkinsonism, dystonia, and gait impairment. Current de-coppering therapy provides in most cases ...
