Yield of Cather Angiography After Computed Tomography Negative, Lumbar Puncture Positive Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Brief Reports
Conclusions— Catheter angiography should be performed in patients with computed tomography negative but suspicious lumbar puncture, particularly in the presence of xanthochromia. The benefit of angiography in patients with erythrocytosis only is unclear and deserves future study.

Effects of Intravenous Solanezumab 400 mg q 4 Weeks vs. Placebo on Biomarkers in Patients with Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease: Results of Two Phase 3 Studies (P01.011)
CONCLUSIONS: Solanezumab target engagement is associated with alteration of amyloid biology. There was a lack of apparent effect on markers of neurodegeneration. The overall findings lend support for the amyloid cascade hypothesis and suggest that various aspects of the cascade are viable targets for treatment of Alzheimer's disease.Supported by: Eli Lilly and Co.Disclosure: Dr. Hake has received personal compensation for activities with Eli Lilly and Company as an employee.

Cerebrospinal fluid ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase as a novel marker of neuronal damage after epileptic seizure
Summary: Background: Ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase (UCH-L1) has been established as a reliable and potential biomarker of neuronal damage after acute neurologic insults such as ischemic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. The effects of seizures on UCH-L1 levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has not been investigated in epileptic patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether CSF UCH-L1 levels are a reliable marker of brain damage from epileptic seizures.Methods: Thirty-three patients with epilepsy (mean age 45 years) participated. Twenty-five patients had generalized seizures...
