Methods: This study includes patients with cervical dystonia who obtained a satisfying improvement to Ona-botulinum toxin-A and respectively Abo-botulinumtoxin-A injections. The patient´s satisfaction of the procedure was measured as effect on a VAS-score (0-100%). Data was usable in our study when each patient reached a satisfying improvement of minimum 90% after toxin treatment. Toxins were injected in the same muscles, using the same technique every 3rd month. EMG was used to measure the dystonic activity in the muscles in the cervical region. The average conversion ratio of Ona-botulinum toxin-A/Abo-botulinum toxin-A was estimated when stable optimal treatment doses were found (VAS-score outcome of 90%). Results: 48 patients with cervical dystonia had a treatment time of 15,75±4,58 years. We sampled 2546 injection series. Doses were 126 ± 38,77 U for Ona-botulinumtoxin-A and 381,6 ± 151,1 U for Abo-botulinumtoxin-A. The VAS-score was found to be between 90-100% either using Ona or Abo-botulinum toxin-A. Conclusion: A conversion ratio of 1: 2,56 was safe and satisfying when changing treatment between Ona-botulinumtoxin-A to Abo-botulinumtoxin-A.","PeriodicalId":317103,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Neurology & Neurosurgery","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127330476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, learning, unlearning and relearning are all communicative processes fundamental to the development and existence of culture [1]. This is not a uniquely human phenomenon, as many amniotic species depend upon their considerable learning capabilities in the development of their social organization and general behavior. While this basic cultural process is part of our biological heritage [2], language gives human culture its distinctive flair. In developing the cultural capacity for stupidity to human desiderata, language proved to be a most effective mechanism in that it both inhibits and subverts awareness. It is language which provides us with our basic misperceptions, which culture then embellishes and disseminates. Thus, self-unawareness is promoted when language permits us to misinterpret embarrassing events into socially acceptable contexts. Although sense organs give us our first impressions of our environment, words fix our attitudes, direct the process of data selection and strongly influence the misinterpretation of information so that we may misconstrue experiences.","PeriodicalId":317103,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Neurology & Neurosurgery","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116503426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
