Chronic Subdural Hematoma in the Aged, Trauma or Degeneration?
Authors: Lee KS Abstract Chronic subdural hematomas (CSHs) are generally regarded to be a traumatic lesion. It was regarded as a stroke in 17th century, an inflammatory disease in 19th century. From 20th century, it became a traumatic lesion. CSH frequently occur after a trauma, however, it cannot occur when there is no enough subdural space even after a severe head injury. CSH may occur without trauma, when there is sufficient subdural space. The author tried to investigate trends in the causation of CSH. By a review of literature, the author suggested a different view on the causation of CSH. CSH usually originat...

Antidepressant treatment and risk of dementia: a population-based, retrospective case-control study.
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of dementia in patients is associated with antidepressant medication use. Treatment with tricyclic antidepressants was associated with a reduced risk of dementia, whereas treatment with SSRIs, MAOIs, heterocyclic antidepressants, and other antidepressants was associated with an increased risk of dementia.

Association Between Tuberculosis and Parkinson Disease: A Nationwide, Population-Based Cohort Study
Abstract: Few studies have investigated the association between tuberculosis (TB) and Parkinson disease (PD). This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study investigated the risk of PD in patients with TB. We selected patients newly diagnosed with TB (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification: 011) from 2000 to 2009 in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database as the TB cohort. The comparison cohort (the non-TB cohort) was frequency matched to the TB cohort at a ratio of 4:1 by sex, age, and the index date. We analyzed the risks of PD by using Cox proportional hazar...

Perceived Appropriateness of Shared Decision‐Making in the Emergency Department: A Survey Study
ConclusionsAcceptance of SDM among emergency physicians appears to be strong across management categories (diagnostic testing, treatment, and disposition) and in a variety of clinical scenarios. SDM is perceived by most EPs to be medicolegally protective.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Sydenham's chorea: not gone but perhaps forgotten
In this study, we investigated the incidence and clinical presentation of childhood SC in Ireland (years 2006–2014). Nineteen cases were diagnosed. Five patients had rheumatic fever. An increasing trend with an incidence of 0.23/100 000 is reported. As most referral diagnoses included psychogenic illness, head injury and stroke, modern physicians may not be aware of this age old illness. A review of the manifestations and diagnosis of SC is presented.

Hemodialysis with end-stage renal disease did not raise the risk of intracranial hemorrhage after a head injury
Conclusions: HD +ESRD did not increase the post-HI risk of ICH. Therefore, it may not be necessary to lower the threshold of head CT in HD +ESRD patients.

Non-invasive Monitoring of Dynamic Cerebrovascular Autoregulation Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy and the Finometer Photoplethysmograph
Conclusions The results suggest that dynamic cerebrovascular autoregulation can be continuously assessed entirely non-invasively using nTOx. This allows for autoregulation assessment using spontaneous blood pressure fluctuations in conditions where iABP is not routinely monitored. The nABPOPT might deviate from iABPOPT, likely because of discordance between absolute nABP and iABP readings.

Axonal Injury in Stroke: A Forensic Neuropathology Perspective
This study investigated staining patterns in 96 cases of stroke with no history of head injury and found complex staining patterns, some of which were indistinguishable from those said to be specific for trauma. A questioning approach to the assessment of β-APP immunostaining patterns in cases of head injury is proposed to ensure that the possibility of some or much of the staining being due to ischemia has been excluded, before concluding that the axonal injury identified is traumatic in causation.

Neurological disorders in the emergency centre of the Douala General Hospital, Cameroon: A cross-sectional study
Conclusion Neurological disorders are common in the emergency centre of the DGH. Aetiologies are diverse and in-hospital mortality is high. This highlights the need to organize neurologist calls at the EC and/or to improve the human resources capacity through regular training and evaluation.

Impact of body temperature and serum procalcitonin on the outcomes of critically ill neurological patients
Conclusion Fever had a strong link to worse GCS, longer MV durations, increased length of ICU stay, higher mortality rates and worse overall outcomes in neurocritical patients. High PCT levels can predict mortality in those patients.
