The tangential dialogue between science and medicine: a case in point
The road between a hypothesis about a disease or condition and its cure or palliation is never simply linear. There are many tantalizing tangents to be chased and many seemingly obvious truths with countless exceptions. This is usually a feature, not a bug, as they say in computer programming. In the tangents and exceptions are clues and alternative roads to science and medicine that can provide cures and palliative measures, sometimes for diseases or conditions other than the one being studied.

autoimmune basal ganglia encephalitis associated with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibodies in children
Autoimmunity might cause movement disorders which were described as autoimmune movement disorders. Basal ganglia dysfunction was one of the most involved mechanisms. Some anti-neural antibodies were considered to be related[1]. The anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibody (NMDAR-Ab) was one of them because of the predominant movement disorders , especially in children[2]. However, most patients had multifocal brain dysfunction other than movement dysfunction, such as behavioral changes, psychiatric disorders, cognitive impairment, seizures, and dysautonomia[3].

Evaluation of Quantitative Pupillometry in Acute Postinjury Pediatric Concussion
Although millions of children sustain concussions each year, a rapid and objective test for concussion has remained elusive. The aim of this study was to investigate quantitative pupillometry in pediatric patients in the acute, postinjury setting. (Source: Pediatric Neurology)

Physiopathologic Bases of Moebius Syndrome: Combining Genetic, Vascular, and Teratogenic Theories
Moebius syndrome (MBS) is a congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder (CCDD) characterized by a bilateral palsy of abducens and facial cranial nerves, which may coexist with other cranial nerves palsies, mostly those found in the dorsal pons and medulla oblongata. MBS is considered a “rare” disease, occurring in only 1:50,000 to 1:500,000 live births, with no gender predominance. Three independent theories have been described to define its etiology: the vascular theory, which talks about a transient blood flow disruption; the genetic theory, which takes place due to mutation s related to the facial motor nucleus neuro...

Pediatric Ocular Myasthenia Gravis: Single-Center Experience
Currently, there is no universally accepted standard treatment for ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) in children. We aimed to investigate the possible proper regimens and timing of treatment for pediatric OMG cases based on the clinical manifestations: OMG with ptosis only and OMG with other features.

Microstructural White Matter Abnormalities in Children and Adolescents With Narcolepsy Type 1
In 2010, the H1N1 Pandemrix vaccination campaign was followed by a sudden increase in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1). We investigated the brain white matter microstructure in children with onset of NT1 within two years after the Pandemrix vaccination. (Source: Pediatric Neurology)
