Neurological Symptoms in Danes with a History of Poliomyelitis: Lifelong Follow-Up of Late Symptoms, their Association with Initial Symptoms of Polio, and Presence of Postpolio Syndrome
Conclusion: Our data indicate that individuals with a history of PM late in life experience a variety of symptoms that cannot be attributed to lesions of the anterior horn. Furthermore, late symptoms do not seem to be related to initial symptoms of the acute stage of PM but to reported PPS. The last finding supports the perception that the cause of PPS is not just normal ageing.Eur Neurol 2018;80:295 –303 (Source: European Neurology)

Telemedicine in General Neurology: Interrater Reliability of Clinical Neurological Examination Via Audio-Visual Telemedicine
Conclusions: Remote examination via an audio-visual link produces comparable results to bedside performance even in acute patients of the emergency room. Compared to the scarce data available, inter-observer agreement is about the same as that between 2 examiners at bedside. However, more studies on reliability and validity of clinical neurological examination are required.Eur Neurol 2018;80:289 –294 (Source: European Neurology)

Evaluation of Next-Generation Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Infections of the Central Nervous System Caused by the Neurotropic Herpes Viruses: A Pilot Study
Conclusions: NGS method is a promising pathogen detection tool for identifying viral CNS infections. It should be recommended to sequence viral DNA of CSF in the early stage of CNS viral infections.Eur Neurol 2018;80:283 –288 (Source: European Neurology)

An Evaluation of the Effect of Vision on Standing Stability in the Early Stage of Parkinson ’s Disease
Conclusion: Although patients in the early stage of PD seem to be unstable based on COP linear measures, their postural control system is still flexible to adapt to environmental perturbations in quiet stance and they are not more visually dependent than healthy subjects to control stability in this position.Eur Neurol 2018;80:261 –267 (Source: European Neurology)

Association between Sleep Disturbances and Daytime Somnolence in Parkinson ’s Disease
Conclusion: There are differences in nocturnal sleep disturbances among PD patients with different types of daytime somnolence. The significant positive correlation between the ESS and the PDSS-2 total scores suggests that night-time sleep disturbance may influence daytime somnolence.Eur Neurol 2018;80:268 –276 (Source: European Neurology)
