Challenges and opportunities in clinical trials for spinal muscular atrophy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Extrapyramidal signs (EPS) are common in Alzheimer disease (AD) and increase in prevalence as AD advances. The neuropathologic substrate responsible for EPS in AD remains to be fully characterized. METHODS:Subjects had a clinical diagnosis of AD confirmed by neuropathologic examination. EPS during life were...
