Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis and intracranial vasculopathy: Clinical correlation with improving transcranial Doppler hemodynamics (P1.322)
Conclusions:Antibiotic treatment for S. pneumoniae meningitis correlated with improvement in clinical status and TCD hemodynamics. Serial TCDs may be a potentially useful strategy in the management of bacterial meningitis.Disclosure: Dr. Idris has nothing to disclose. Dr. Tai has nothing to disclose.

CNS Summit 2017 Abstracts of Poster Presentations
Conclusion: This novel technology discriminates and quantifies subtle differences in behavior and neurological impairments in subjects afflicted with neurological injury/disease. KINARM assessments can be incorporated into multi-center trials (e.g., monitoring stroke motor recovery: NCT02928393). Further studies will determine if KINARM Labs can demonstrate a clinical effect with fewer subjects over a shorter trial period.
Disclosures/funding: Dr. Stephen Scott is the inventor of KINARM and CSO of BKIN Technologies.

The Emergence of Non-communicable Disease in Indonesia.
Authors: Purnamasari D
Abstract
Based on data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health Information Center, the estimated population of Indonesia in 2016 was approximately 258,704,986 people, consisted of 129,988,690 men and 128,716,296 women. This number of Indonesian population represents young population since the proportion of population aged 0-14 years is more than that aged >14 years. Meanwhile, the proportion of population aged 50 years and above is significantly reduced, which is thought to be due to high mortality rate in the middle-aged population. The mortality rate in Indonesia is dominated by non-com...

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...

DROSHA rs10719 and DICER1 rs3742330 polymorphisms in endometriosis and different diseases: Case-control and review studies.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that only the DICER1 rs3742330 A > G polymorphism may be associated with susceptibility to endometriosis. The frequencies of both polymorphisms were significantly different among populations, and there were discrepancies in the risk associations with the development of diseases.

Prognostic factors for mortality, intensive care unit and hospital admission due to SARS-CoV-2: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies in Europe
Background
As mortality from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is strongly age-dependent, we aimed to identify population subgroups at an elevated risk for adverse outcomes from COVID-19 using age-/gender-adjusted data from European cohort studies with the aim to identify populations that could potentially benefit from booster vaccinations.
Methods
We performed a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to investigate the role of underlying medical conditions as prognostic factors for adverse outcomes due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), including death, hospitalisation, intensive c...

Stroke Drug Kills Bacteria That Cause Ulcers And Tuberculosis
A drug currently being used to treat ischemic strokes may prove to be a significant advance in the treatment of tuberculosis and ulcers. In a new research report appearing online in The FASEB Journal, a compound called ebselen effectively inhibits the thioredoxin reductase system in a wide variety of bacteria, including Helicobacter pylori which causes gastric ulcers and Mycobacterium tuberculosis which causes tuberculosis. Thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase proteins are essential for bacteria to make new DNA, and protect them against oxidative stress caused by the immune system...

Endocardial tuberculosis.
We report a 30-year-old male patient with persistent fever, history of stroke, and a left atrial mass. He was diagnosed as miliary pulmonary tuberculosis radiologically and had fever despite 2 months of antitubercular treatment. The mass was excised and fever resolved. Acid fast bacilli (AFB) were demonstrable on Ziehl Neelsen stain and routine histopathology. To the best of our knowledge, the visualization of AFB from an intracardiac lesion on ZN staining has not been reported earlier and tuberculosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of left atrial masses.

Cerebral infarction and tuberculoma in central nervous system tuberculosis: frequency and prognostic implications
Conclusions
Tuberculomas were present in 50% of patients, while infarcts were present in 25%. Old age, TBM grading, presence of infarction and hydrocephalus were all predictors of poor outcome.

Pneumonia: When Antibiotics Are Not the Answer
We present the case of an 88-year-old bedridden man, with hypertension, multiple myeloma, coronary artery disease, ischemic stroke, seizures, dysphagia, and constipation under treatment with mineral oil. He was brought to the emergency department after 3 days of cough, dysphagia, and dyspnea, following a recent hospitalization, due to a health care–associated pneumonia. A chest computed tomography scan obtained showed bilateral multifocal opacities with consolidates described as Hounsfield units of −62, consistent with fat. A diagnosis of lipoid pneumonia was done, and mineral oil was discontinued. Given the patient’...
