Presentation of Wernicke encephalopathy in patient secondary to one anastomosis gastric bypass. Case report and literature review
We present the case of a postoperative patient with a one anastomosis gastric bypass with reoperation undergoing a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass that begins with confusion and nystagmus on her third postoperative day. The diagnosis of Wernicke encephalopathy is made by imaging, and vitamin B1 is administered with total improvement of nystagmus and altered state of consciousness (lethargy, bradypsychia, bradylalia).PMID:38537227 | DOI:10.24875/CIRU.21000706 (Source: Cirugia y Cirujanos)

Case report: A novel case of paraneoplastic voltage gated calcium channel antibodies secondary to appendiceal adenocarcinoma
Voltage gated calcium channels (VGCCs) play a critical role in neural transmission. Antibodies that target these ion channels can disrupt cellular signal transmission resulting in various clinical presentations. VGCC antibodies are most commonly associated with paraneoplastic syndromes such as Lambert-Eatons myasthenic syndrome. Here, we report a 47-year-old female with Stage IV appendiceal adenocarcinoma status post appendectomy and right hemicolectomy, who presented with progressive memory impairment, aphasia, ataxia, weakness, and headache. Neurologic exam was notable for right-sided parietal drift, decreased right arm ...

TP63 truncating mutation causes increased cell apoptosis and premature ovarian insufficiency by enhanced transcriptional activation of CLCA2
CONCLUSION: Our findings revealed a crucial role for CLCA2 in mediating apoptosis in POI pathogenesis, and suggested that CLCA2 is a potential therapeutic target for POI.PMID:38528613 | PMC:PMC10962206 | DOI:10.1186/s13048-024-01396-2 (Source: Cell Research)

Chemotherapy-initiated cysteine-rich protein 61 decreases acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia chemosensitivity
CONCLUSION: DNR induces Cyr61 production in B-ALL cells, and increased Cyr61 levels reduce the chemosensitivity of B-ALL cells. Consequently, targeting Cyr61 or related ATM signaling pathway may present a promising treatment strategy to enhance the chemosensitivity of patients with B-ALL.PMID:38530432 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-024-05692-8 (Source: Cell Research)

Immune ‐mediated spastic ataxia masquerading as clinically probable multisystem atrophy in an elderly woman
ConclusionsThis case emphasizes the diagnostic complexity of autoimmune neurological syndromes, particularly spastic ataxia. Autoimmune etiology should be considered even when neurodegenerative conditions seem likely. The presence of neuronal antibodies, inflammatory CSF, and response to immunotherapy underscores the role of autoimmunity in this case. Additionally, the “hot cross bun sign” may not always signify neurodegeneration, but can indicate immune-mediated neural damage. Recognizing autoimmune involvement early offers therapeutic possibilities and highlights the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach in su...

Informal gold miners with mercury toxicity: Novel asymmetrical neurological presentations
S Afr Med J. 2023 Dec 4;113(12):20. doi: 10.7196/SAMJ.2023.v113i12.1127.ABSTRACTMercury is a highly toxic heavy metal that may cause neurological, respiratory, gastrointestinal and dermatological illnesses. Previously described neurological manifestations of mercury toxicity are symmetrical, and include a pancerebellar syndrome, generalised seizures and encephalopathy. Mercury is used in the gold mining process, and in artisanal or illicit gold mining, often without necessary protection. Here we describe the cases of two artisanal gold miners from western Johannesburg, South Africa, who presented with atypical neurological...
