Teaching NeuroImages: Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis in MELAS
A 16-year-old girl presented with acute-onset flaccid quadriparesis with urinary incontinence. Medical history unveiled generalized epilepsy since age 7 years and status epilepticus 3 years before. Multisystem compromise was absent. Family history was unremarkable. Two days after admission, generalized refractory status epilepticus occurred. Neuroimaging studies disclosed laminar cortical necrosis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) in cervical and thoracic spinal cord levels (figure). Muscle biopsy disclosed subsarcolemmal mitochondrial proliferation and ragged-red fibers (figure). Genetic testing conf...

Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation at Two Frequencies on Urinary Incontinence in Poststroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of two frequencies of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on urinary incontinence caused by stroke. Methods: Eighty-one patients with poststroke urinary incontinence were recruited and randomized into the following three groups with a 1:1 ratio: a 20-Hz TENS group, a 75-Hz TENS group, and a no-treatment control group (n = 27 per group). TENS currents were biphasic square waves with pulse durations of 150 μsecs and pulse frequencies of 20 Hz or 75 Hz and were applied for 30 mins once per day for 90 days. The positive electrodes were placed in the region...

Incontinence and gait disturbance after intraventricular extension of intracerebral hemorrhage
Conclusion: ICH subjects with IVH extension are at an increased risk for developing incontinence and dysmobility after controlling for factors associated with severity and disability. This finding suggests a potential target to prevent or treat long-term disability after ICH with IVH.

Nursing Home Residents with Seizure Disorders/Epilepsy: Prevalence, Characteristics, and Treatment Patterns (P1.080)
Conclusions: NHRs with seizure disorder/epilepsy have substantial physical and cognitive impairment. Nearly half were prescribed combination AED therapy, and >20[percnt] took 蠅3 different AEDs, suggesting refractory epilepsy. Additional research is needed to assess treatment outcomes and further define optimal care in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Zarowitz has nothing to disclose. Dr. Allen has nothing to disclose.

Glioproliferative Lesion of the Spinal Cord Derived from Intrathecal Administration of Stem Cells (P4.234)
CONCLUSIONS: Unregulated intrathecal SCT can cause devastating complications. This patient’s highly proliferative neoplasm developing from pluripotent stem cells supports the ideological shift to employ more differentiated cells in future SCT research.Disclosure: Dr. Saad has nothing to disclose.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Publication date: April 2016 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, Volume 37, Issue 2 Author(s): William G. Bradley Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a syndrome found in the elderly, which is characterized by ventriculomegaly and deep white matter ischemia (DWMI) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the clinical triad of gait disturbance, dementia, and urinary incontinence. NPH has been estimated to account for up to 10% of cases of dementia and is significant because it is treatable by ventriculoperitoneal shunting. Patients with a known cause of chronic communicating hydrocephalus, that is, meningitis or ...

3 Surprising Things That Increase Your Dementia Risk
SPECIAL FROM “As many as five million Americans age 65 and older may have Alzheimer’s Disease, and that number is expected to double for every five-year interval beyond age 65.” — the National Institute of Neurologic Disorders and Stroke. While Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, it is not the only form. Risk factors for all kinds of dementia include, age, alcohol use, smoking, atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, and genetics. However, researchers have found some startling connections that show other surprising factors that can heighten your risk: Risk Factor #1: Anticho...

Path of Translational Discovery of "Urological Complications of Obesity and Diabetes (UCOD)".
Abstract Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a prevalent chronic disease. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by hyperglycemia in the context of absolute lack of insulin; whereas type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is due to insulin resistance-related relative insulin deficiency. Obesity is an established risk factor for T2DM. In comparison with T1DM, T2DM is more complex. The natural history of T2DM in most patients typically involves a course of obesity to impaired glucose tolerance, to insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. Diabetes causes some serious microvascular and macrovascular ...

Ketamine Therapy for Treatment-resistant Depression in a Patient with Multiple Sclerosis: A Case Report
Conclusion—Ketamine may be an alternative treatment for resistant depression and may have a special use in patients with multiple sclerosis. Introduction Depression is a frequent finding in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), with the lifetime prevalence rates for major depressive disorder (MDD) ranging from 36 to 54 percent, more than twice of that in the general population.[1] Even with advances in pharmacological options for treating depression, an estimated 33 to 66 percent of patients with MDD in the general population do not respond to the first antidepressant, and a reported 15 to 33 percent of patients do not ...

Path of translational discovery of urological complications of obesity and diabetes
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent chronic disease. Type 1 DM (T1DM) is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by hyperglycemia in the context of absolute lack of insulin, whereas type 2 DM (T2DM) is due to insulin resistance-related relative insulin deficiency. In comparison with T1DM, T2DM is more complex. The natural history of T2DM in most patients typically involves a course of obesity to impaired glucose tolerance, to insulin resistance, to hyperinsulinemia, to hyperglycemia, and finally to insulin deficiency. Obesity is a risk factor of T2DM. Diabetes causes some serious microvascular and macrovascular compli...

Escaping most common lethal diseases in old age: Morbidity profiles of Portuguese centenarians
Conclusions Findings reinforce the great variability of age-related pathologies and overall health status in centenarians, but that a great majority had the ability to evade the most lethal conditions. Management of patients with multimorbidity in very advanced ages has become a major healthcare challenge and our findings provide further evidence for policies and targeted interventions for this population.
