Serotonin receptor agonist and risk of paresthesia in migraine patients: A dose-response model-based (network) meta-analysis
Conclusions: This meta-analysis of reported placebo-controlled clinical trials suggests that the SUCRA probabilities for the manifestation of paresthesia are higher with Lasmiditan. The relative risk of paresthesia is higher with the use of Topiramate 200 mg, Lasmiditan 400 mg, and Zolmitriptan 10 mg. In addition, Lasmiditan exhibited a gradual dose-response of relative risk for the manifestation of paresthesia. (Source: Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology)

Evaluation of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis prior to coronary artery bypass grafting - A prospective observational study in North Indian population
Conclusion: The presence of significant carotid vessel stenosis in patients undergoing CABG in the Indian population has a stronger association with the chronicity of the coronary artery disease rather than the coronary atheroma load (as determined by the modified Gensini score). The presence of significant LM disease and coronary artery calcification may be useful in detecting high-risk patients for significant CAS during the pre-surgical workup.

Spinocerebellar ataxia 12 patients have better quality of life than spinocerebellar ataxia 1 and 2
Conclusions: Our study suggests that despite older age and comparable disease duration, SCA12 patients experience better QoL, less severe depression and ataxia versus SCA1 and SCA2. Severity of ataxia and depression are significant predictors of QoL among the three SCA types. (Source: Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology)

Study Protocol: IMPETUS: Implementing a uniform stroke care pathway in medical colleges of India: IMPETUS Stroke
We present here a protocol to investigate the feasibility and fidelity of implementing a uniform stroke care pathway in medical colleges of India. Methods and Analysis: This is a multicentric, prospective, multiphase, mixed-method, quasi-experimental implementation study intended to examine the changes in a select set of stroke care-related indicators over time within the sites exposed to the same implementation strategy. We shall conduct process evaluation of the implementation process as well as evaluate the effect of the implementation strategy using the interrupted time series design. During implementation phase, educa...

Propensity of stroke in standard versus various aortic arch variants: A 200 patients study
Conclusions: Standard aortic arch Type 2, bovine aortic arch Type A, and Type B are associated with an early age at stroke presentation. During routine carotid evaluation by CT or MR angiography in stroke patients, it would be better to evaluate the aortic arch as well, especially in young patients.

Predictors of early neurological deterioration following intravenous thrombolysis: Difference between risk factors for ischemic and hemorrhagic worsening
Conclusion: END occurs in one fifth of patients after intravenous thrombolysis; ENDi outnumbers ENDh. Proximal artery occlusion is a major predictor for END. Potentially modifiable risk factors include admission hyperglycemia and elevated blood pressures. Distinct factors characterize ENDh and ENDi and can guide prevention and management strategies. IScore identifies patients at risk for END. (Source: Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology)

The genetic landscape of polymicrogyria
Jesmy James, Mary Iype, Mithran Omana Surendran, Ayyappan Anitha, Sanjeev V ThomasAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2022 25(4):616-626 Polymicrogyria (PMG) is a relatively common complex malformation with cortical development, characterized by an exorbitant number of abnormally tiny gyri separated by shallow sulci. It is a neuronal migration disorder. Familial cases of PMG and the manifestation of PMG in patients with chromosomal aberrations and mutations indicate their important role of genetics in this disorder. The highly stereotyped and well-conserved nature of the cortical folding pattern in humans is suggestive ...

Mechanical thrombectomy: Review
Chintan Prajapati, Vikram Huded, Niranjan Mahajan, Anirudh KulkarniAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2022 25(4):606-615 Large vessel occlusion stroke contributes to disability and mortality out of proportion to its incidence. Over time it was noted that intravenous thrombolysis alone was not sufficient for this stroke type. Slowly, endovascular approach and mechanical clot retrieval have come out to be the biggest advances in the field of neurology as well as modern medicine. Although the careful selection of patients is needed as standardized by landmark trials. At the same time, thrombectomy is now being studied in ...
