Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common inflammatory neurological disease in young adults, with an estimated prevalence of approximately 2 [...]
Background: Delirium is a brain condition associated with poor outcomes in rehabilitation. It is therefore important to assess delirium incidence in rehabilitation. Purpose: To develop and validate a chart-based method to identify incident delirium e...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been associated with several neurological disorders including headache, facial palsy, encephalitis, stroke, demyelinating disorders. The present report will discuss cases of m...
Health-related quality of life is frequently included in patient-reported outcomes aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of disease-modifying drugs for multiple sclerosis, but recent data about Italian patients are missing. A multicenter observationa...
Introduction: The role of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in cryptogenic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) with normal transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) remains controversial in the absence of definite guidelines. We aimed to perfo...
(1) Background: The goal of this study was to determine the incidence of in-hospital mortality and to investigate its predictors in patients with a primary intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) undergoing endotracheal intubation. (2) Methods: This retrospect...
Psychotropic drugs are used in the treatment of psychiatric and non-psychiatric conditions. Many patients who are on psychotropic medications may present for procedures requiring anesthesia. Psychotropic medications can have dangerous interactions wi...
Background and Purpose: The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Symptoms range from mild flu-like symptoms to more severe presentations, including pneumonia, acute re...
Background: The interplay between collateral status and stroke aetiology may be crucial in the evaluation and management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Our understanding of this relationship and its level of association remains sub-optimal. This stu...
Background: Phantom limb syndrome is defined as the perception of intense pain or other sensations that are secondary to a neural lesion in a limb that does not exist. It can be treated using pharmacological and surgical interventions. Most medicatio...
Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are among one of the most widely prescribed drug classes in the United States. BZDs are a class of psychoactive drugs known for their depressant effect on the central nervous system (CNS). They quickly diffuse through the blood...
Catatonia is a syndrome that has been associated with several mental illness disorders but that has also presented as a result of other medical conditions. Schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders such as mania and depression are known to be ass...
Until recently, most general neurologists were not interested in neurogenetics [...]
Epileptic encephalopathies often have a genetic etiology. The epileptic activity itself exerts a direct detrimental effect on neurodevelopment, which may add to the cognitive impairment induced by the underlying mutation (“developmental and epileptic...
Mood disorders negatively impact the lives of hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide every year, yet the precise molecular mechanisms by which they manifest remain elusive. Circadian dysregulation is one avenue by which mood disorders are thou...
Central precocious puberty (CPP) is a condition that causes early gonadotropin-dependent sexual development; CPP is idiopathic in girls in most cases, whereas more than 50% of boys have an identifiable etiology. We conducted a qualitative systematic...
The development of hydrocephalus after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an under-recognized healthcare phenomenon and can increase morbidity. The current study aims to characterize post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) in a large cohort. Patients...
A Backround: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex chronic disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Body mass index (BMI), a component of metabolic syndrome (MetS), is considered among the risk factors for MS. However, its role in MS remains ambig...
A 32-year-old man presented with complete third nerve palsy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a possible sporadic oculomotor nerve schwannoma in the left cavernous sinus. Interestingly, the patient’s ptosis was fluctuating and eased immediat...
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) inhibit the presynaptic neuronal uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine and prolong the effects of the monoamines in the synaptic cleft within the central nervous system, leading to increased posts...
We present a case of a patient with positive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) IgG antibodies in their serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) associated with neuroborreliosis. Clinically, the patient presented with symptoms of confusion, as well as...
Within the neuropsychological assessment, clinicians are responsible for ensuring the validity of obtained cognitive data. As such, increased attention is being paid to performance validity in patients with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). Experts have pro...
