Lack of Association between Seropositivity of Vasculopathy-Related Viruses and Moyamoya Disease
CONCLUSIONS: Our cross-sectional study suggest that the investigated 11 viruses including HHV6 are unlikely to have an impact on MMD development.PMID:35500358 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2022.106509

Mumps encephalitis with bilateral hippocampal lesions preceding parotitis
Bilateral hippocampal lesions can be a feature in both infectious and autoimmune limbic encephalitis. Although rare, mumps meningoencephalitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bilateral hippocampal lesions, especially in the presence of symptoms suggestive of systemic and/or CNS infection.

What Causes Facial Nerve Palsy?
Discussion Facial nerve palsy has been known for centuries, but in 1821 unilateral facial nerve paralysis was described by Sir Charles Bell. Bell’s palsy (BP) is a unilateral, acute facial paralysis that is clinically diagnosed after other etiologies have been excluded by appropriate history, physical examination and/or laboratory testing or imaging. Symptoms include abnormal movement of facial nerve. It can be associated with changes in facial sensation, hearing, taste or excessive tearing. The right and left sides are equally affected but bilateral BP is rare (0.3%). Paralysis can be complete or incomplete at prese...

What Causes Ataxia?
Discussion Coordination and balance problems are caused by various problems affecting the central and peripheral nervous system. Normal development of a child or weakness of a child are commonly mistaken for true ataxia. Ataxia specifically refers to “…impairment of the coordination of movement without loss of muscle strength.” If it is purely due to abnormalities of the cerebellum then there should be no changes in mental status, sensation or weakness. Sometimes it is difficult to determine if there are abnormalities in other areas. For example, Guillian-Barre often presents with difficulty or clumsy wal...

Safety of diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis and inactivated poliovirus (DTaP-IPV) vaccine.
CONCLUSIONS: In this safety surveillance study of more than 200,000 DTaP-IPV vaccine recipients, there was no evidence of increased risk for any of the pre-specified adverse events monitored. Continued surveillance of DTaP-IPV vaccine safety may be warranted to monitor for rare adverse events, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome. PMID: 24699471 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
