Wernicke ’s encephalopathy and cranial nerve VII palsy in a 24-year-old patient with COVID-19
ConclusionsThis case is one of three documented cases of Wernicke ’s encephalopathy believed to be caused by COVID-19 in patients without risk factors or chronic alcohol use. Ours is also the first case in which Wernicke’s encephalopathy presents with a concomitant cranial nerve VII palsy. While Emergency Medicine doctors must maintain a high index of suspicio n for stroke in younger patients with COVID-19, our patient’s case augments the correlation between COVID-19 and Wernicke’s encephalopathy in patients without other risk factors for developing the syndrome.

A Retrospective Observational Study of Neurological Manifestations in COVID-19 (SON-CoV)
Conclusion: CNS symptoms of COVID-19 are more common than PNS symptoms. Stroke is the most frequent (46%) COVID-CNS symptom, which occurs in people of age above 35 years and is associated with high mortality.PMID:37355862 | DOI:10.5005/japi-11001-0107

Potential Misdiagnoses of Bell's Palsy in the Emergency Department
Conclusion: Emergency providers have a very low rate of misdiagnosing Bell's palsy. The association between imaging use and misdiagnosis is likely confounded by patient acuity. Increasing age and diabetes are modest risk factors for misdiagnosis.

New rehabilitation models for neurologic inpatients in Brazil.
Conclusions: This is the first report on the effects from an inpatients rehabilitation model in Brazil. After a short intensive rehabilitation, there were motor and cognitive gains in all groups. Heterogeneity in functional gains suggests more individualized programs may be indicated. Controlled studies are required with larger samples to compare inpatient and outpatient programs. Implications for Rehabilitation The proposed brief model of rehabilitation for stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and Guillain-Barre syndrome inpatients shows promising results in terms of functional improvement. Apparent improve...

Effect of post-trochanteric groove support on stance control associated with the pelvic-lumbar system: A preliminary study
Conclusion: The mechanisms of post-trochanteric groove support were suggested to be spino-pelvic coordination and gluteal muscle activation. Clinical relevance The post-trochanteric groove is a cutaneous landmark located behind the pelvis/hip joint. Applying pressure to the post-trochanteric groove from behind pushes the trunk to adopt a more upright position, leading to improved stance control. Underlining mechanisms appear to be spino-pelvic coordination and gluteal muscle activation.

Safety of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange for the Treatment of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Polycythemia Vera
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a risk factor for systemic thromboses and ischemic stroke. This has been attributed to blood hyperviscosity, the result of increased blood cell production. Intravenous immunoglobulin, which is indicated for the treatment of numerous hematologic and neurological conditions also causes increased serum viscosity and has been associated with ischemic strokes in the setting of PV. Here we report a case of a 70-year-old man with prior stroke and PV who developed Guillain-Barré syndrome, an acute inflammatory demyelinating disorder of peripheral nerves causing ascending paresis, numbness, and paresthesi...

Palatal myoclonus secondary to neurosarcoidosis
Palatal myoclonus can be primary or secondary. In primary palatal myoclonus, no obvious structural brain lesions can be found within the triangle of Guillain and Mollaret. Common causes of secondary myoclonus include stroke, demyelination, infections, trauma, and neurodegeneration. AbstractPalatal myoclonus can be primary or secondary.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Neurological Disorders
Conclusions: Preliminary literature suggests that FMT may be a promising treatment option for several neurological disorders. However, available evidence is still scanty and some contrasting results were observed. A limited number of studies in humans have been performed or are ongoing, while for some disorders only animal experiments have been conducted. Large double-blinded randomized controlled trials are needed to further elucidate the effect of FMT in neurological disorders.

Neurologic aspects of covid-19: a concise review.
In conclusion, nervous system symptoms can be observed during SARS-CoV2 infection of which headache and smell and taste disturbance are the main symptoms reported. Cerebrovascular complications can complicate the course of COVID-19 in apparently low-risk patients. GBS is a life-threatening manifestation of COVID-19.

Neurological Associations of COVID-19 —Do We Know Enough: A Tertiary Care Hospital Based Study
This study will discuss the detailed systematically evaluated clinical profile and relevant investigations and outcome of 14 laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 positive patients presenting with neurological signs and symptoms. The patients were further categorized into confirmed, probable, and possible neurological associations. The probable association was found in meningoencephalitis (n = 4), stroke (n = 2), Guillain-Barré syndrome (n = 1), and anosmia (n = 1). The other six patients had coexisting neurological diseases with SARS-CoV-2. One patient with a large artery stroke succumbed to the illness due to respiratory comp...
