Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and acute ischemic stroke: an underreported association
ConclusionsAtypical variants of PRES are not so rare and it may also occur in typical triggering situations. The association with ischemic stroke is even rarer and it may add some clues to the pathomechanisms of PRES. (Source: Neurological Sciences)

Efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation in patients with dysphagia after stroke: a systematic review
ConclusionsThe final considerations are that even though the majority of studies described benefits from tDCS in post-stroke dysphagia, as they present too many methodological differences, it is not possible to compare them. In addition, many articles included patients with less than 6 months after stroke, which is an important bias as the swallowing function can be recovered spontaneously within this period, turning the certainty of the evidence really low.

Stroke in a young adult: looking beyond the diffusion-weighted imaging sequence
AbstractA 37-year-old migrainous woman was referred several hours after a sudden dysarthria lasting less than 1 min. Brain MRI undertaken a few hours later showed no acute cerebral infarction on the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence. However, an intraluminal thrombus within a distal branch of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) was seen on the T2*-weighted gradient echo images as well as hyperintense v essels related to slow flow beyond the occlusion’s site. Control MRI 24 h later confirmed the presence of a small infarct affecting the distal portion of the MCA territory but the thrombus was no longer visible. A ...

A review on epilepsy, current treatments, and potential of medicinal plants as an alternative treatment
AbstractEpilepsy is considered common neurological diseases that threaten the lives of millions of people all around the world. Since ancient times, different forms of medications have been used to treat this condition. Adverse events associated with treatments and the residence time of available drugs caused to search for safer and more efficient therapies and drugs remain one of the major areas of research interest for scientists. As one of the therapeutics with fewer side effects, plants and their essential oils can be considered replacements for existing treatments. Medicinal plants have proven to be an effective natur...

Extending and outlining the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of novel mutations of NALCN gene in IHPRF1 syndrome: identifying recurrent urinary tract infection
This study introduces recurrent urinary tract infections for the first time, broadening the phenotypic range of IHPRF1 syndrome in addition to the genotypic spectrum. This trait may result from insufficient bladder emptyi ng, which may be related to the NALCN channelosome’s function in background Na + conduction. This work advances knowledge about the molecular genetic underpinnings of IHPRF1 and introduces a novel phenotype through the widespread use of whole exome sequencing.Graphical abstract (Source: Neurological Sciences)

Prominent mitochondrial pathology in a case of refractory dermatomyositis: coincidence or concause?
We report on clinical, immunological, radiological, and myopathological findings of a case of severe, treatment-refractory anti-Mi-2-positive DM.ResultsA 77-year-old woman developed anti-Mi-2 DM with severe diffuse muscle weakness associated with abundant mitochondrial abnormalities at muscle biopsy, beside the typical features of inflammatory myopathy. The patient was poorly responsive to multiple-line therapies and finally anti-JAK (anti-Janus activated kinase) was administered, leading to partial clinical improvement.DiscussionGiven the usual satisfactory treatment response and favorable outcome of anti-Mi-2 DM, we supp...
