Association of Plasma A β 42/40 Ratio and Late-Onset Epilepsy: Results From the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
DISCUSSION: A reduction in plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 is associated with an increased risk of subsequent epilepsy. Our observations provide a further validation of the link between Aβ, hyperexcitable states, and LOE.PMID:37541842 | DOI:10.1212/WNL.0000000000207635

Minor head injury-induced striatocapsular infarction in a 3-year-old girl
In emergency departments (EDs), the diagnosis of childhood arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is often delayed due to its rarity, diverse causes, and emergency physicians ’ low awareness of the diagnosis. The potential for delayed diagnosis may be amplified in cases of striatocapsular infarction following a minor head injury (MHI). Reported cases show the patient's age range of 1 month–7 years, preceding minor falls, fast onset of neurological manifestations (2 m inutes–72 hours), fast neurological recovery even without antithrombotic therapy (recovery in 2 weeks–13 months), involvement of the basal ganglia, and normal...

The potential for delayed diagnosis may be amplified in cases of striatocapsular infarction after a minor head injury (MHI). Reported cases show the patient's age range of 1 month to 7 years, previous minor falls, fast onset of neurologic manifestations (2 min to 72 h), fast neurologic recovery even without antithrombotic therapy (recovery in 2 weeks to 13 months), involvement of the basal ganglia, and normal angiographic findings (1–5).

Neuroendocrine Disruptions Following Head Injury
This article reviews hypopituitarism after TBI, the importance of pituitary hormones, and related controversies, concluding with a suggested patient approach.Recent FindingsWhile earlier studies focused on increased pituitary deficiencies after moderate-severe TBI, recent studies have focused on deficiencies after mild TBI. There has been increasing focus on the role of growth hormone after injury; growth hormone is the most frequent reported deficiency at 1 year post-TBI, and an area with unresolved questions. While more research is needed to quantify the risk of deficiencies in special populations, and establish the na...

History of Carotid Artery Reconstruction around the World and in Japan
Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 2023 Apr 20. doi: 10.2176/jns-nmc.2022-0362. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince ancient times, physicians have been aware of correlations between the carotid artery and consciousness; however, carotid stenosis was only recently identified as the cause of atherothrombotic ischemic stroke. In 1658, Wepfer described the first suggestion of a link between symptoms of cerebral arterial insufficiency and carotid pathology. In 1951, Fisher reported details of the symptoms and pathological findings and emphasized that cervical atheromatous lesions induced cerebral infarction with various symptoms. The beg...
