Neurology versus Psychiatry? Hallucinations, Delusions, and Confabulations.
Authors: Carota A, Bogousslavsky J Abstract Hallucinations, delusions, and confabulations are common symptoms between neurology and psychiatry. The neurological diseases manifesting with such symptoms (dementia, epilepsy, Korsakoff's disease, brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, migraine, right hemisphere stroke and others) would be the key to understand their biological mechanisms, while the cognitive sciences, neuropharmacology and functional neuroimaging would be the tools of such researches. It is possible to understand the perceptive rules of the mind and the mechanisms of the human consciousness based on these ...

F-18 FDG PET/CT in Management of Necrotizing Otitis Externa
1157Objectives: Necrotizing otitis externa (NOE), also referred to as "malignant otitis externa," is an uncommon complication of external ear canal infections, resulting in skull base osteomyelitis. Multiple pathogens have been implicated, the most common of which is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Risk factors include diabetes, advanced age, and immunocompromised status. Clinical features include unremitting otalgia, otorrhea, headache, and cranial nerve involvement. Treatment consists of prolonged parenteral antibiotics and selective surgical debridement. Inadequate treatment of NOE is associated with significant morbidities, in...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often overlooked by clinicians; however, undiagnosed OSA can lead to negative outcomes for patients, including patients with underlying neurologic conditions. Clinicians should be aware of what questions to ask, what diagnostic tests to use, and what treatments to consider in patients with OSA. RECENT FINDINGS OSA influences many neurologic conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, headache, and neuromuscular conditions. Treatment of OSA is effective, especially with patient-tailored options, the correct education, and support. SUMMARY OSA is a serious medical condit...

What Are the Main Acyanotic Congenital Heart Diseases?
Discussion Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are malformations of the heart and great vessels. It occurs in about 5-8/1000 live births. Cyanotic congenital heart disease is often noted perinatally because of cyanosis, respiratory distress and/or poor feeding or other distress type problems. A review can be found here. Acyanotic congenital heart disease (ACHD) can present at birth but often is seen in older children or adults unless the lesions are severe, especially obstructive lesions. Severe lesions may also cause cyanosis and distress type problems in patients also. Shunting lesions cause problems by diverting blood flo...

Developing epilepsy training capacity for primary care providers using the project ECHO telementoring model.
CONCLUSIONS: We successfully piloted a telementoring program using Project ECHO methodology, which was effective in educating PCPs about epilepsy treatment. Combining epilepsy and other neurology topics was an effective strategy in garnering interest among PCPs, but additional methods are needed to encourage participants to present their own cases.

Developments in distinguishing secondary vascular headache from Primary headache disorders in clinical practice
Expert Rev Neurother. 2021 Sep 23. doi: 10.1080/14737175.2021.1984882. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntroductionVascular headaches are secondary headache disorders with potentially devastating consequences if missed. Clinicians often struggle to distinguish these from primary headache disorders whereby there is no underlying structural pathology. Here the authors describe the advancement in our understanding of vascular headache disorders, their clinical presentation and the developments in neuroimaging that facilitate diagnosis.Areas coveredHere the authors discuss the definition of primary and secondary headache disorde...
