Objectives: Survivors of mild-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) often achieve favorable neurological recovery, yet many continue to experience cognitive difficulties and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The relative contr...
Background: Anatomical variations in the posterior communicating artery (PCoA) are common, but their association with ischemic stroke remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the relationship between PCoA configuration and the localization of...
Duropathies represent a spectrum of disorders associated with spinal dural tears and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. Diagnosis and treatment is often complicated by overlapping clinical manifestations. This review aims to synthesize current literatu...
Background: The term dyskinesia describes involuntary movements of the face, body and extremities. Frequently, they appear following and in relation with prior oral long-lasting and high-dose levodopa therapy in Parkinson’s disease patients. On...
Introduction: SLC6A1-related neurodevelopmental disorder (SLC6A1-NDD) is an epileptic encephalopathy linked to mutations in the SLC6A1 gene and is characterized by early-onset seizures and developmental delays. Despite the growing recognition of SLC6...
Introduction: Ischemic stroke in young adults is uncommon and is frequently associated with rare etiologies, including autoimmune diseases and vasculitis. Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory large-vessel arteriopathy involving the aorta...
Background/Objectives: Kidney transplantation is the standard of care for the majority of patients with end-stage kidney disease. Neurological complications are common, and among them, tremor is very frequent and usually attributed to immunosuppressi...
Background: Chronic pain is a prevalent and disabling condition that affects physical health but also cognitive domains. Executive functions, including inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and working memory, essentials for self-regulation, tre...
Introduction: This study was conducted to determine whether specific emergency physician (EP) diagnoses and/or neurological signs/symptoms upon admission to the Emergency Department (ED) were associated with normal/non-informative emergency electroen...
Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a progressive multisystem disorder characterized by extracellular deposition of misfolded transthyretin fibrils, leading to neurological, cardiac, gastrointestinal, urogenital, sexual, and ophthalmological involvem...
Background: Chronic subdural hematoma is commonly managed with surgical evacuation when significant mass effect or herniation features are present. Although middle meningeal artery embolization has emerged as an effective adjunctive therapy, evidence...
Background/Objectives: Neurotrophins are a family of structurally related growth factors known to play an important role in the physiology and pathophysiology of the central nervous system. In ischemic stroke, lower blood concentrations of brain-deri...
Background/Objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is defined by amyloid-β plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles and is typically associated with progressive cognitive decline. However, a substantial subset of individuals remains cognitivel...
Background/Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate sleep quality and the prevalence of OSA among children with CP and other neurological conditions using both polysomnography (PSG) and validated sleep questionnaires. Methods: This study was conducted at...
Cognitive decline represents one of the most common clinical manifestations of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), substantially affecting the quality of life of both patients and their families. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, an...
Background: In 2024, Reddit, an emerging social media platform, saw a 50% increase in monthly users to nearly 100 million. Reddit has also emerged as a significant space for discussions about health conditions, including epilepsy, which affects about...
Background/Objectives: Driving performance and competence represent a complex functional domain that may be affected in some individuals with schizophrenia. This scoping review aimed to map existing evidence characterizing driving-related functioning...
Non-motor symptoms (NMSs) are highly prevalent in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and contribute significantly to disease severity, progression, and diminished quality of life. NMSs are rooted in both physiological and psychological domains and includ...
Background: Difficulty swallowing is a common complaint in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), but there are no qualitative studies that examine dysphagia in patients with POTS, resulting in a significant gap in clinical u...
Background: Primary central nervous system tumours in pregnancy are exceptionally rare, with posterior fossa lesions presenting particular diagnostic and management challenges due to their confined anatomical location and proximity to critical neurov...
Background/Objectives: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is an early stage of dementia, although its risk factors remain unclear. We estimated the prevalence of SCD and its associated dementia risk factors in Brazilian adults. Methods: This cross-se...
Background/Objectives: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is accompanied by olfactory dysfunction, and few interventions target shared chemosensory–cognitive mechanisms. We retrospectively examined whether a 5-week oxygen–ozone major autohem...
Purpose: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive cancer with limited survival despite current treatments. Rising treatment costs highlight the importance of identifying more affordable therapeutic alternatives. A body of literature has s...
