Screening Gene Mutations in Chinese Patients With Benign Essential Blepharospasm.

abstract：:Background: Strokes have a huge impact on patients' quality of life. Although there are potentially effective secondary preventions and treatment options for stroke patients, adherence is mostly low. Low disease and treatment-related knowledge and, consequently, a lack of informed decision-making in stroke patients ma...
