Neuroimaging findings and neurological manifestations in hospitalized COVID-19 patients: Impact of cancer and ventilatory support status
This study suggests COVID-19 is associated with neurological manifestations that may be visible with brain imaging techniques such as MRI. In our COVID-19 cohort, there was no association between cancer status and neuroimaging findings. Future studies might include more prospectively enrolled systematically characterized patients, allowing for more rigorous statistical analysis.

Stroke-like presentation of autoimmune chorea with positive anti-Yo and anti-MOG antibodies: a case report
AbstractWith the in-depth study of autoimmune encephalitis, more and more antibody combinations and clinical manifestations appear in our sights, enriching the spectrum of autoimmune encephalitis. Here, we report a case of a 58-year-old male patient with sudden involuntary movement of the left limb. The brain MRI was normal. CSF analysis showed slightly elevated protein (548.38  mg/L) and normal cell count(1.00 10^6/L). No tumors were detected by the whole-body PET-CT. Positive anti-Yo and anti-MOG antibodies were found in the blood. So we considered the diagnosis of autoimmune chorea with positive anti-Yo and anti-MOG a...

Burden of neurological diseases in Asia from 1990 to 2019: a systematic analysis using the Global Burden of Disease Study data
Conclusions This study demonstrated the burden of neurological diseases in Asia. To reduce the burden of neurological diseases, strategies suitable for each country’s real healthcare needs and challenges are needed; this study can serve as the cornerstone of these strategies.

Case report: Acute vestibular syndrome and cerebellitis in anti-Yo paraneoplastic syndrome
We report three patients evaluated over the past decade with an acute AVS along with subtle downbeat nystagmus (DBN), followed by dysarthria and progressive truncal and limb ataxia, as well as increasing DBN intensity.MethodsAll patients underwent neurologic examination, video-oculography, MRI, serum cancer markers, spinal fluid examination, paraneoplastic panel testing, and oncologic workup. With a consolidated diagnosis of cancer/paraneoplastic syndrome, we treated with plasma exchange (PLEX), high-dose steroids, surgery, and oncologic investigation. We additionally provided oncotherapy in one out of three patients.Resul...

Drug-resistant epilepsy at the age extremes: Disentangling the underlying etiology
Epilepsy Behav. 2022 May 25;132:108739. doi: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2022.108739. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe incidence of epilepsy is highest at the extreme age ranges: childhood and elderly age. The most common syndromes in these demographics - self-limited epilepsies of childhood and idiopathic generalized epilepsies in pediatric age, focal epilepsy with structural etiology in older people - are expected to be drug responsive. In this work, we focus on such epilepsy types, overviewing the complex clinical background of unexpected drug-resistance. For self-limited epilepsies of childhood and idiopathic generalized epilepsi...

Recent Synergy of Nanodiamonds: Role in Brain-Targeted Drug Delivery for the Management of Neurological Disorders
AbstractThe aim of the present review article is to summarize the role of nanodiamonds in various neurological diseases. We have taken related literature of making this review article from ScienceDirect, springer, Research gate, PubMed, Sci-finder, etc. The current approaches for treating neurological conditions such as glioblastoma includes chemotherapy or combination anti-retro viral therapy for HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) or use of anti-Alzheimer drugs during cognitive impairment. These approaches can provide only symptomatic relief as they do not target the cause of the disease due to their inability to penetrat...

Clinical Significance of Delirium With Catatonic Signs in Patients With Neurological Disorders
CONCLUSIONS: Delirium is a common complication of neurological diseases, and it can coexist with catatonia. The recognition of catatonic delirium has clinical significance in terms of etiology, as it was significantly associated with viral and anti-NMDAR encephalitis.PMID:35040665 | DOI:10.1176/appi.neuropsych.18120364
