Effect of acupuncture treatment on post-stroke cognitive impairment: A randomized controlled trial
Introduction: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), which has a high morbidity, is closely associated with the recurrence and rehabilitation of ischemic stroke. There are 2 different stages of PSCI, including post-stroke cognitive impairment with no dementia (PSCIND) and post-stroke dementia (PSD). The latter has a significantly higher mortality rate than the previous one. Therefore, preventing the onset of PSD is of vital importance. However, there is no unequivocally effective prevention or treatment for PSCI, except intensive secondary prevention of stroke. The primary aim of this protocol is to explore whether a...

CNS Summit 2017 Abstracts of Poster Presentations
Conclusion: This novel technology discriminates and quantifies subtle differences in behavior and neurological impairments in subjects afflicted with neurological injury/disease. KINARM assessments can be incorporated into multi-center trials (e.g., monitoring stroke motor recovery: NCT02928393). Further studies will determine if KINARM Labs can demonstrate a clinical effect with fewer subjects over a shorter trial period. Disclosures/funding: Dr. Stephen Scott is the inventor of KINARM and CSO of BKIN Technologies.   Multiplexed mass spectrometry assay identifies neurodegeneration biomarkers in CSF Presenter: Chelsky...

Teaching NeuroImages: When alopecia and disk herniations meet vascular leukoencephalopathy: CARASIL
A 26-year-old Turkish patient presented with progressive spastic gait since age 20 years and premature alopecia. Cerebral and spinal MRI revealed diffuse supra- and infratentorial leukoencephalopathy with recurrent subclinical subcortical infarcts and multiple disk herniations with cervical myelopathy (figure). Targeted panel-sequencing revealed a novel homozygous splice site mutation (c.1005+1G>T; p.?) in HTRA1, which is known to cause CARASIL (cerebral autosomal-recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy),1 mostly described in Asians so far.
