We thank Vu et al. for their interest in our article published in 2018 in which we studied 50 anti-VGKC seropositive patients and compared individuals with either anti-LGI1 or anti-CASPR2 antibodies (n = 7) to those without (n = 43) [1]. We found that a higher proportion of anti-LGI1/CASPR2 seropositive patients had limbic encephalitis, complex partial seizures, hippocampal imaging abnormalities, temporal epileptiform activity/electrographic seizures, tumours, and received acute and maint enance immunotherapy.

Effect of pre-stroke antiplatelet use on stroke outcomes in acute small vessel occlusion stroke with moderate to severe white matter burden
Cerebral small vessel disease is characterized by white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and acute small vessel occlusion (SVO) stroke. We investigated the effect of prior antiplatelet use (APU) on stroke outcome in 1151 patients with acute SVO stroke patients and moderate to severe WMH. (Source: Journal of the Neurological Sciences)

Long-term recurrence of ischemic events in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis stratified by symptoms and pathogenesis
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) can cause either transient ischemic attack (TIA) or acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Pathogenesis of ICAS-AIS can be divided into artery-to-artery embolism(A-A), hypoperfusion(HP), and parent-artery atherosclerosis occluding penetrating artery(POPA). However, the prognosis of each type remains uncertain. Our study aimed to investigate potential disparities in the recurrent risk among these four subtypes of symptomatic ICAS.

Frequency & factors associated with elevated lipoprotein-a among Ghanaian stroke survivors
Indigenous Africans are genetically predisposed to elevated lipoprotein-a (Lp(a)), a veritable risk factor for ischemic stroke. Recent studies have demonstrated the promising efficacy of therapeutic interventions for addressing elevated Lp(a) among patients at high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events. It is important to assess the burden of elevated Lp(a) among stroke survivors of African ancestry aimed at addressing potential unmet therapeutic gaps for optimal secondary prevention.

Non-invasive brain stimulation for patients and healthy subjects: Current challenges and future perspectives
Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques have a rich historical background, yet their utilization has witnessed significant growth only recently. These techniques encompass transcranial electrical stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation, which were initially employed in neuroscience to explore the intricate relationship between the brain and behaviour. However, they are increasingly finding application in research contexts as a means to address various neurological, psychiatric, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mortality and cognitive function of dementia patients: Tochigi Dementia Cohort Study
The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic significantly affected Japanese society and the health of its population. Despite this, few studies have evaluated the influence of the pandemic on patients with neurological diseases or dementia, which we assessed through the Tochigi Dementia Cohort Study.

Neurologic involvement in cystinosis: Focus on brain lesions and new evidence of four-repeat (4R-) Tau immunoreactivity
Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive storage disorder caused by CTNS gene mutations, leading to autophagy-lysosomal pathway impairment and cystine crystals accumulation. Neurologic involvement is highly variable and includes both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disturbances, as well as focal neurologic deficits. By presenting longitudinal data of a 28-year-old patient with a large infratentorial lesion, we summarized the pathology, clinical and imaging features of neurological involvement in cystinosis patients.

Physical telerehabilitation interventions for gait and balance in multiple sclerosis: A scoping review
Gait and balance impairments affects approximately a quarter of people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) at onset and increases to almost half by five years. Physical rehabilitation has been recognised as the gold standard method to restore physical function in multiple sclerosis (MS). Emerging evidence in the literature is suggesting that a remote therapy rehabilitation platform (Telerehabilitation) is cost-effective, beneficial, and satisfying for patients and health care practitioners. The overarching aim of this review is to identify and summarise the evidence on the different types of telerehabilitation interventions ava...
