The Vienna idiopathic intracranial hypertension database-An Austrian registry
CONCLUSION: The large representative Vienna IIH cohort characterizes IIH-related symptoms, diagnostic findings, treatment, and outcome emphasizing substantial long-term sequelae of IIH. Future analyses will aim to refine phenotyping and identify factors predicting outcome.PMID:37650963 | DOI:10.1007/s00508-023-02252-x (Source: Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift)

Case report on antipsychotic induced catatonia in an incarcerated patient
This report describes a 35-year-old incarcerated Korean-American male with a history of unspecified psychosis who presented for antipsychotic induced catatonia after administration of haloperidol decanoate intramuscular (200 mg across the span of 1 week). Neurologic workup was performed including MRI, lumbar puncture, and electroencephalography. Despite an approximate month long hospitalization, benzodiazepine challenge, benztropine trial, and amantadine adjunct, our patient continued to experience bradykinesia, waxy flexibility, and mask-like facies, and was minimally verbally responsive. Several challenges in the tre...

Comparative Analysis of the Results of Stroke Treatment With Multiple Administrations of Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Derived HE-ATMP and Standard Conservative Treatment: Case Series Study
Cell Transplant. 2023 Jan-Dec;32:9636897231195145. doi: 10.1177/09636897231195145.ABSTRACTStroke remains still the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Although interventions such as early reperfusion, intravenous thrombolysis, and endovascular revascularization have shown neurological benefit in stroke patients, there is still lack of effective treatment enabling regeneration of nervous tissue after cerebral ischemic episodes. Cell therapy is an evolving opportunity for stroke survivors with residual neurological deficits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and potential efficacy of multiple admi...

Impact of COVID-19 on pediatric emergency fellowship training in Saudi Arabia
ConclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic had significant effects on clinical procedures and academic activities in the PEM fellowship program. The impact was consistently perceived across PEM program directors and fellows. Technology-driven solutions are warranted to mitigate the expected learning and clinical deficits due to reduced clinical exposure. (Source: International Journal of Emergency Medicine)

Narcolepsies, update in 2023
Rev Neurol (Paris). 2023 Aug 25:S0035-3787(23)00989-X. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2023.08.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNarcolepsy type 1 (NT1) and type 2 (NT2), also known as narcolepsy with and without cataplexy, are sleep disorders that benefited from major scientific advances over the last two decades. NT1 is caused by the loss of hypothalamic neurons producing orexin/hypocretin, a neurotransmitter regulating sleep and wake, which can be measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). A low CSF level of hypocretin-1/orexin-A is a highly specific and sensitive biomarker, sufficient to diagnose NT1. Orexin-deficiency is respo...
