Comparison of New ‐Onset and Persistent Epilepsy in the Elderly
ConclusionsOur study shows that new ‐onset epilepsy has a higher incidence of status epilepticus and more stroke‐related risk factors but may require fewer AEDs for epilepsy control.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Acta Neurologica Scandinavica)

Multiple sclerosis epidemiology in Finland: regional differences and high incidence
ConclusionsThere are regional differences in MS epidemiology in Finland, possibly related to demographic, social and genetic circumstances but the retrospective nature and limited sample size of this study might introduce some uncertainty to the calculations. SwF is a region with a globally very high risk for MS.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Acta Neurologica Scandinavica)

Circulating nociceptin and CGRP in medication ‐overuse headache
ConclusionIn contrast to previous findings in migraine patients, we found normal serum levels of nociceptin and CGRP in MOH patients. Thus, we find no evidence that the increased headache frequency of MOH patients could be caused by altered nociceptin and CGRP levels. This underlines the importance of identifying medication overuse in chronic headache and treating the MOH.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Response heterogeneity in fitness, mobility and cognition with exercise ‐training in MS
ConclusionsThose with MS ‐related mobility disability who have the lowest aerobic fitness, walking speed and CPS might benefit the most from multimodal exercise‐training. This provides critical evidence for informing the development of a precision medicine framework for improving targeted outcomes with exercise‐traini ng in MS. (Source: Acta Neurologica Scandinavica)

Predictors to quality ‐of‐life improvements after subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson's disease
ConclusionThe clinicians should carefully evaluate the non ‐motor symptoms and life quality in those patients at relatively earlier stages and with lower medicine dosage to get more successful DBS outcomes.This article is protected by copyright.

Do Elevated Autoantibodies in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis Matter ?
ConclusionsAccording to our data, elevated serum autoantibodies do not have the potential to serve as a prognostic tool for disease severity in patients with MS. Since MS patients with positive serum AABS did not significantly more often suffer from clinical manifest AIs than MS patients with negative serum AABS, the role of routine testing of serum AABS in MS patients should be critically called into question.This article is protected by copyright.

Anterior thalamic deep brain stimulation in refractory epilepsy: a randomized, double ‐blinded study
ConclusionsOur study supports results from earlier studies concerning DBS as a safe treatment option, with effects even in patients with severe, refractory epilepsy. However, our results are not as encouraging as those reported from many other, mainly unblinded, and open studies.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
