Guide for the treatment of acute altered mental status. Iberoamerican Academy of Pediatric Neurology
Rev Neurol. 2024 Apr 16;78(8):229-235. doi: 10.33588/rn.7808.2023302.ABSTRACTIn pediatric patients, an acute altered mental status refers to a sudden and significant change in a child's brain function and level of consciousness. It may manifest as confusion, disorientation, agitation, lethargy or even a loss of consciousness. This condition is a medical emergency, and requires immediate evaluation and attention. There are several causes of acute altered mental status in children, including infections of the central nervous system such as meningitis or encephalitis, traumatic brain injury, metabolic disorders, seizures and ...

Correlation of BARD1 gene polymorphisms with risk of neuroblastoma: a meta-analysis
Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2024 Apr 15:1-19. doi: 10.1080/15257770.2024.2336215. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBRCA1-associated RING domain protein 1 (BARD1) gene polymorphisms may be associated with neuroblastoma (NB) susceptibility. However, the results remain controversial. Relevant studies were identified by searching PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases up to March 5, 2023. The strength of the association between BARD1 polymorphisms and susceptibility of NB was assessed by calculating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) through the fixed- or...

The conflicts of Ray Adams and Joe Foley with Abe Baker: The neurology and neuropathology of liver failure (1949-1963) and the founding of the American Academy of Neurology (1948)
This article examines disagreements among three giants of twentieth-century American neurology: Raymond Adams, Joseph Foley, and Abraham Baker. The disagreements Adams and Foley had with Baker concerned two issues: (1) the neurologic and neuropathological manifestations of liver failure with hepatic encephalopathy as expounded from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, and (2) the founding of the American Academy of Neurology in 1948 as an inclusive medical society under the principal leadership of Baker. The conflicts are examined from transcribed meeting debates (1949-1963), salient original publications (1949-1963), public...

Effects on cognitive processes of dual-task training in people with Parkinson's disease: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Increased research and standardized intervention programmes are essential. Longitudinal and randomized controlled studies in representative samples which provide conclusions that are applicable to other contexts are also important.PMID:38618669 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7808.2024049 (Source: Revista de Neurologia)
