Heterogeneity in neurologic education and care in Asian and Oceanian region
The Asian subcontinent and Oceania (comprising islands in the Pacific Ocean) are home to more than 60% of the world's population. The burden of neurologic disease and sickness is thereby high and medical care is in high demand. There are many developing countries with diverse cultural, economical, political, religious, and historical backgrounds within the Asian and Oceanian region.1,2 Recently, enhanced medical care in these developing countries has resulted in greater longevity, which has increased the burden on those providing health care. The prevalence of neurologic illness has also increased and has emerged as a prio...

Recommendations of the Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias Conference
The National Alzheimer's Project Act, signed into law in 2011, mandates a National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease that is updated annually. In the Plan, the term Alzheimer disease includes not only Alzheimer disease (AD) proper, but also several specified related dementias, namely, frontotemporal, Lewy body, vascular, and mixed dementia. In response to a specific action item in the 2012 National Plan, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging, convened panels of experts and conducted a 2-day public conference to develop research priorities and ti...

Demographics, Comorbidities and Clinical Features in Hospitalized Patients with Myoclonus (P3.022)
CONCLUSIONS: Myoclonus was particularly associated with renal impairment in the presence of a toxic exposure, most commonly opioids or anticonvulsants, and unlike patients with anoxia or hepatic impairment, more often featured a negative semiology.Disclosure: Dr. Ehrlich has nothing to disclose.

Teaching Video NeuroImages: Movement of a paralyzed arm with yawning
A 63-year-old man presented with aphasia and right arm paralysis (Medical Research Council [MRC] grade 0), sparing the leg (video 1 on the Neurology® Web site at Neurology.org). With yawning, his right arm consistently rose to his chest (video 2). Paralysis resumed after yawning. MRI confirmed an acute ischemic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery distribution (figure). This movement ceased after 2 weeks following partial recovery of arm strength (MRC grade 4). This phenomenon, first described in the 1844, was recently coined parakinesia brachialis oscitans. It is speculated to be a release event in which damaged ...

Shortage of neurologists in the Brazilian Amazon
Neurologic disorders, including headache, epilepsy, and cerebrovascular disease, are common sources of medical consults and hospital admissions.1 Conditions such as stroke, the world's second leading cause of death, are medical emergencies that demand fast and efficient actions to reduce mortality and disability rates. These 2 points highlight the growing importance of neurology health care in developing countries.

Patient care with empathy and acceptance: How not why
"Why?" my mother asked, not with the exuberant curiosity of a child but with frustration and annoyance. "W-w-h-h-y-y?" This time she enunciated each letter as if trying to will it into a different sound to form the word she was actually trying to express. Flustered, she just started repeating herself, "Why? Why? Why?" I could tell our collective patience and resolve to communicate was wavering.

Recognizing and preventing epilepsy-related mortality: A call for action
Epilepsy is associated with a high rate of premature mortality from direct and indirect effects of seizures, epilepsy, and antiseizure therapies. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the second leading neurologic cause of total lost potential life-years after stroke, yet SUDEP may account for less than half of all epilepsy-related deaths. Some epilepsy groups are especially vulnerable: individuals from low socioeconomic status groups and those with comorbid psychiatric illness die more often than controls. Despite clear evidence of an important public health problem, efforts to assess and prevent epilepsy-related...

American Indian Participation in Clinical Research: A Cultural Perspective Survey from a CREST-2 Site (P1.239)
Conclusions: These data support our hypothesis that cultural beliefs have a strong impact on AI/AN willingness to participate in research. It is important for researchers to consider cultural beliefs when designing recruitment strategies for AI/AN populations. Future work will address how cultural beliefs affect AI/ANs’ understanding of and willingness to participate in clinical research.Disclosure: Dr. Bennett has nothing to disclose.
