Acute effects of electro-acupuncture (EA) on hippocampal long term potentiation (LTP) of perforant path-dentate gyrus granule cells synapse related to memory.
Authors: He X, Yan T, Chen R, Ran D Abstract Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese therapeutic method, has been widely used in clinical practice to treat diseases such as stroke, Bell's palsy, Alzheimer disease, Parkinson diseases, dysmenorrhea and chronic pain. Mounting lab data had suggested that electro-acupuncture could alleviate dementia and restore long term potentiation of hippocampus in rat. Clinical data also indicated that electro-acupuncture could improve electrical activity of brain in vascular dementia patients. However, its biological basis and acute effects on hippocampal long term potentiation (LTP) re...

Successful Systemic Thrombolysis in an Adolescent With Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Despite the lack of evidence regarding the safety and the efficacy of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in pediatric stroke, this treatment option should be considered, especially in adolescents presenting within 3 hours from symptom onset in centers with consolidated experience in adult thrombolysis.

Generalizability of the Proportional Recovery Model for the Upper Extremity After an Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions. These results confirm in an independent sample that stroke patients with mild to moderate initial impairments show an almost fixed proportional upper extremity motor recovery. Patients who will most likely not achieve the predicted amount of recovery were identified using clinical determinants measured within 72 hours poststroke.

Teaching NeuroImages: Isolated peripheral facial palsy due to ipsilateral pontine infarction
A 72-year-old woman presented left peripheral facial palsy for 1 day. Neurologic examination revealed isolated left peripheral facial palsy (figure 1). She did not have additional pontomedullary symptoms or signs, such as diplopia, abduction weakness, facial sensory loss, vertigo, nystagmus, or dysarthria. A brain diffusion-weighted MRI scan showed a hyperintense signal in the left dorsal pons (figure 2) in the region of the seventh nerve nucleus. Infranuclear facial palsy with isolated facial weakness has been reported rarely, and may be misdiagnosed as Bell palsy.1,2

Cerebral proliferative angiopathy: Rare case of seizures, bone erosion, and pulsatile head bump
A 22-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of focal seizures and a pulsatile bump on the forehead (figure, A; video on the Neurology® Web site at Neurology.org). He had subtle right hemiparesis with facial palsy, Mini-Mental State Examination score of 22/30, and audible bruit on forehead swelling, suggesting cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA). This condition differs from arteriovenous malformation in in that hemorrhages are uncommon; it has a typically large size, with normal brain parenchyma between vascular spaces (figure, B).1 There are multiple arterial feeders (figure, C) with prominent draining veins ...

Manifestations of an Uncommon Pontine Insult, Eight-and-a-Half Syndrome (P1.029)
CONCLUSIONS: EHS involves a specific constellation of clinical findings which include OHS and LMN facial palsy, all ipsilateral to the side of the lesion at the level of the pons. On the basis of our review, true EHS is a very rare manifestation. EHS variants, while still unique, are more common.Disclosure: Dr. mannel has nothing to disclose. Dr. Saada has nothing to disclose.

If I had a stroke in 2015.
Abstract The management of stroke is now recognized as a real medical emergency as well as myocardial infarct, because we have now an efficacious treatment in cerebral infarct, intravenous fibrinolysis that decreases the risk of death and motor and cognitive handicap. The second characteristic is its very important frequency, and its risk that increases in young people. This medical emergency enforces the care systems because it needs a speedy network for the patient, his family and the care professionals, useful for intravenous fibrinolysis before 3hours after 80 years and before 4hours and a half before 80years...

Intraoperative stroke in the mandibular osteoradionecrosis: A case report
Publication date: January 2015 Source:Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medicine, and Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 1 Author(s): Ryo Sasaki , Chie Kagawa , Toshihiro Okamoto , Tomohiro Ando Although risk factors for perioperative stroke during head and neck surgery are known, the risk of perioperative stroke in osteoradionecrosis (ORN) patients is scarcely known. Sixty-seven-year-old male presented ORN in the mandible after 9 years docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (TPF) chemo, and 66Gy radiation therapies for the oropharynx cancer, which was diagnosed Marx's classification class II.

Four-quadrant facial function in dysphagic patients after stroke and in healthy controls.
This study aims to examine any motility disturbance in any quadrant of the face other than the quadrant innervated by the lower facial nerve contralateral to the cortical lesion after stroke. Thirty-one stroke-afflicted patients with subjective dysphagia, consecutively referred to a swallowing centre, were investigated with a facial activity test (FAT) in all four facial quadrants and with a swallowing capacity test (SCT). Fifteen healthy adult participants served as FAT controls. Sixteen patients were judged to have a central facial palsy (FP) according to the referring physician, but all 31 patients had a pathological FA...

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Associated with Vertebrobasilar Dolichoectasia and Pontine Ischemic Stroke
We describe a 57‐year‐old man with NF1 who presented an acute onset right‐sided facial palsy and hemiplegia, dysarthria, and gait imbalance. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an acute left paramedian pontine infarct and a hypoplastic right vertebral artery. Brain Computed Tomography Angiography revealed the occurrence of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia. Co‐occurrence of VBD and NF1 might not be merely casual and it may significantly heighten the mortality rate in this multisystem disorder. We suggest a possible role of VBD in the genesis of our patient's clinical‐radiological features and prompt the early detectio...
