- Very few seats available for the Canadian Hot Topics in #movementdisorders, endorsed by the Movement Disorders Society and in collaboration with @uoftmedicine.bsky.social. The 2-day meeting will be held in person in Toronto on Nov 7 and 8. DM if interested. @kbi-uhn.bsky.social @uhn.ca
- 15 years (and 12 editions) later, here we are again for our annual 4-day intensive course on the diagnosis and treatment of #movementdisorders. This year we're in charming Milan, hosted by the conference centre of Humanitas University. More info here: www.mdscourse.com

[Not loaded yet] - I had fun summarizing 2024 #parkinson research for @medscape.com Thank you @drisubramanian.bsky.social, we covered a lot, including works from @albertoespay.bsky.social and @andreashorn.org @pfresearchteam.bsky.social @michaelokun.bsky.social @kbi-uhn.bsky.social www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...
- What's the relationship between #dystonia and #tremor? Can we solve it on clinical grounds only? We used to have dystonic tremor and tremor associated with dystonia... is this enough? Turns out it's ... complicated. See what we think here: www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/...

- Salone del Mobile friends go if you can. It’s the presentation of the editorial project “I don’t know” that I had the honour to be part of. facebook.com/events/574794566347756/
- Proud to be featured in La Scatola Magica (the magic box), a journey in the history of neuroscience. I'm particularly proud to be in the chapter on neuromodulation pioneer Dr. Penfield. #neuromodulation #Penfield #DBS #UHN #Krembil
- Italy and many European country are still far from a dignifying end of life policy. They should learn from Canada. #maid #endoflife #morte #dignità @repubblica @Corriere...

- Highlight of tonight gala dinner: a patient-researcher dialogue is the best and only way to move research forward. #PDsummit2019 #Parkinson @KrembilRI @KrembilF @EditionTomorrow
- Magnificent start at the Krembil Knowledge Gap Meeting. #PDSummit2019 #krembilRI #Parkinson #uhn #UofT @Nikiya76
- Therapeutic envy and serendipity: the Oncology lesson for Neurology. #PDSummit2019 #krembilRI #oncology #neurology #UofT
- Very well received session on gait and balance disorders, directed by me at the #AAN2019 #gait #balance #neurology #Krembil #UofT
- Glad to have been given the opportunity to organize and present at the #updates on #movementdisorders session of the #AANAM along with @kailashbhatia and Peter LeWitt.
- It took only 12 years to move from constant to responsive pacing in cardiac pacemakers (patent to patent). It’s our turn with #adaptive #neuromodulation. #DBS #movementdisorders #crania #uoftneuro
- I won’t stop believing in doctors till I see passionate, endless and respectful discussions over a patient’s care. #human #healthcare
- We published our #DBS programming guidelines in 2016. It is good to see that we made an impact worldwide. #UHN #Krembil #CRANIA ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26968806 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26968805
- #normalpressurehydrocephalus is a still debated condition, relatively frequent but historically not addressed by most #movementdisorders specialists. Establishing and chairing the #NPH study group of the #IPMDS is my contribution for this fascinating syndrome.

- Another amazing experience discussing #Parkinson care and #gait research with many colleagues, nurses and - more importantly - #peoplewithparkinson. #Israel I’ll be back soon, your people (and your food) stole my heart!
- #falls are a major medical, social, and economical issue worldwide. Our article "Falls in #Parkinson's disease: A complex and evolving picture" published in #movementdisorders journal, is one of the journal's top downloaded recent papers! #Top20Article #KrembilRI #CRANIA #UHN
- #spinalcordstimulation for #Parkinson’s disease is a typical example of the problem we all have when researchers fall too much in love with their ideas. Today I gave a close, dry and critical look at the evidence supporting (or not) #SCS
- #functional #movementdisorders after a successful #DBS are more common than we think, one of my practical tips during my #IAPRD2019 talk on challenging DBS cases
- When #patients are active part of their medical team, #healthcare becomes cost-effective and engaging. Our study (the first using @C_R_A_N_I_A affiliation) just proves it in #dystonia patients undergoing #DBS.

- #RehabWeek2019 is over but I can still feel the vibes of our panel discussion on #neuromodulation.
- Grazie maestro @Enneppi per la tua prima visita a #Toronto. Per averci portato l’unica Italia di cui andar fieri, quella che nessuno deride e tutti emulano. #facciamorete
- This article describes a syndrome simply impossible to be seen in humans. Lyme disease is a serious condition but it’s also a diagnosis abused in patients with #functional (#psychogenic) disorders. theguardian.com/science/2019/jul/20…

- #predatory publishing is a real challenge for #Science. We need to do more, also increase awareness among patients, journalists, universities, people advocating for #open science at 'any cost'. I usually don't reply but this was the 30th email I received today...
- #epilepsy and #movementdisorders have a lot in common. Our review is #jnnp editor’s choice this month. Find out more here: jnnp.bmj.com/content/90/8/920 #krembilRI #uhn #UofT
- Dear amigos from #mexico, it’s always a pleasure to be back in your country, especially after #trump’s election. (Here at a #botulinum toxin meeting)

- Prouder day by day to work for such an impactful Institution. #UofT again among the top 5 for clinical medicine. #ARWU, #Shanghai (Academic Ranking of World Universities)
- "Health worker gap in Italy: the untold truth". I futuri medici italiani cureranno l'Italia e la sua popolazione sempre più anziana... oppure no... La mia intervista su @Corriere_Salute e' un po' di quel famoso...
- Per quanto abbia apprezzato il suo discorso, RICORDO a tutti gli entusiasti di #conte che quest’uomo è stato CONNIVENTE COMATOSO - senza paura di smentita - del peggior governo della storia repubblicana.
