The Duels of Pierre Marie and Jules Dejerine
In no country has the duel prevailed to such a great extent as in France where the matter of dueling and affairs of honor were of frequent occurrence until the 20th century. The term duel has since been established for any contest between 2 persons or parties, be they sporting, intellectual, political, or in other matters. Despite their worldwide recognition and great scientific production, Pierre Marie and Jules Dejerine became rivals at the end of the 19th century. While Marie defended Charcot ’s neurological school at Salpêtrière Hospital, Dejerine had his own neurology school to contend. The fierce antagonism betwe...

Conversion of Optic Neuritis to Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: A Retrospective Comorbidity Cohort Study
Conclusion: This research confirms previous findings and contributes additional evidence that if the patients have unilateral involvement and active lesions, they should be closely monitored. Moreover, our research supports the hypothesis that risk factors may be affected by racial, environmental, and genetic factors.Eur Neurol (Source: European Neurology)

What Are the Minimal Detectable Changes in SDMT and Verbal Fluency Tests for Assessing Changes in Cognitive Performance in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis and Non-Multiple Sclerosis Controls?
Conclusions: SDMT and verbal fluency have good short-term reproducibility in PwMS. Specific SEM and MDC cutoffs based on the same design of evaluation (especially retest timing) and to the targeted pathological population (MS vs. healthy) should systematically be used to consider cognitive modification as significant in research protocol as well as in clinical practice.Eur Neurol (Source: European Neurology)

RBM5 Acts as Tumor Suppressor in Medulloblastoma through Regulating Wnt/ β-Catenin Signaling
Conclusion: RBM5 may function as a tumor suppressor in MB by regulating Wnt/ β-catenin signaling, and its reduced expression is associated with lower OS.Eur Neurol (Source: European Neurology)

Association between Ankle Brachial Index, Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity, and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Patients with Acute Lacunar Infarction
Conclusion: The present study suggested that a higher Ba-PWV and a lower ABI were independent risk factors for MCI in patients with ALI.Eur Neurol 2020;83:147 –153 (Source: European Neurology)

Unilateral Optic Neuritis in Children: Experience of a Tertiary Centre
Conclusions: These cases are demonstrative of the wide range of possible causes of unilateral ON in the paediatric population. The absence of typical ON features in MR imaging was strongly suggestive of idiopathic ON in this cohort (p #x3c; 0.01).Eur Neurol (Source: European Neurology)

Neutral Lipid Storage Disease Associated with the < b > < i > PNPLA2 < /i > < /b > Gene: Case Report and Literature Review
We report a detailed case study of a 53-year-old man with NLSDM. ThePNPLA2 gene was analyzed according to the reported method. We summarized the clinical, laboratory, and genetic information of 56 patients, including our patient and 55 other reported patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in thePNPLA2 gene. We found a novel homozygous mutation (c.194delC) in thePNPLA2 gene that resulted in frameshift. The patient suffered from normal-tension glaucoma and pulmonary cysts, symptoms that are relatively common in the elderly but were not previously reported for this disease. Our summary confirmed that Jord...

Charcot, Janet, and French Models of Psychopathology
Jean-Martin Charcot (1825 –1893), thanks to his insight as a clinician can be said to be one of the precursors of scientific psychology. Charcot’s 30 years of activity at La Salpêtrière hospital display an intellectual trajectory that decisively changed the idea of human psychology by favouring the emergence of two con cepts: the subconscious and the unconscious. It was his collaboration with Pierre Janet (1859–1947), a philosopher turned physician, that led to this evolution, relying on the search for hysteria’s aetiology, using hypnosis as a method of exploration. Focusing on clinical psychology that was exp er...

Heart Rate Variability Assessment and Its Application for Autonomic Function Evaluation in Patients with Hyperhidrosis
Conclusions: The findings suggest that PFHH, from the pathophysiological point of view, may be caused by peripheral involvement of the sympathetic nervous system (glandular level or nerve terminals), as there was no difference between the groups studied. More specific studies should help elucidate this issue.Eur Neurol (Source: European Neurology)

Pituitary Apoplexy Leading to Cerebral Infarction: A Systematic Review
Background: Cerebral infarction caused by pituitary apoplexy (PA) is rare. To characterize the clinical features of cerebral infarction caused by PA, we performed a systematic review.Summary: The clinical symptoms are mainly sudden headache, hemiplegia, visual impairment, disturbance of consciousness, and ophthalmalgia in patients with cerebral infarction caused by PA. Treatment for this type of infarction is different from treatment for general acute cerebral infarction. Compared to patients who underwent emergency surgery and conservative treatment, patients treated with delayed surgery showed a better prognosis and a lo...

Pre-Operative Interictal Discharge Patterns and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings Affect Prognosis of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgery
Conclusion: If the pre-operative interictal discharge pattern in EEG is confined to the unilateral anterior region, prognosis is good. If there are abnormalities in MRI findings, post-operative prognosis is good, regardless of pre-operative interictal discharge patterns in EEG. Surgical intervention is highly recommended for TLE patients with normal MRI findings and interictal discharge confined to the unilateral anterior region.Eur Neurol (Source: European Neurology)
