Mashup Score: 2Structural MRI Ratios Fail to Distinguish Progressive Supranuclear Palsy From Parkinson Disease in Individual Patients - 2 year(s) ago
Background and Objectives Parkinson disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) are often difficult to differentiate in the clinic. The MR parkinsonism index (MRPI) has been recommended to assist in making this distinction. We aimed to assess the usefulness of this tool in our real-world practice of movement disorders. Methods We prospectively obtained MRI scans on consecutive patients…

Mashup Score: 1Imaging Spectrum of HTLV-1–Related Neurologic Disease - 2 year(s) ago
Purpose of Review Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)–associated myelopathy (HAM) is a well-recognized neurologic complication of HTLV-1. Beyond HAM, several other neurologic manifestations are increasingly recognized, including acute myelopathy, encephalopathy, and myositis. The clinical and imaging features of these presentations are less well understood and potentially…

Mashup Score: 1Screening of Major Depression Disorder in Patients With Epilepsy in Indonesian National Referral Hospital - 2 year(s) ago
Background and Objectives Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common psychiatric disorder in patients with epilepsy (PWE). The Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (NDDI-E) is one of the MDD screening tools used in PWE. This study aims to determine the accuracy of the valid and reliable NDDI-E Indonesian version as an MDD screening tool in PWE and investigate the prevalence…

Mashup Score: 0Autonomic Neuropathy as a Predictor of Morbidity and Mortality in People Living With HIV - 2 year(s) ago
Background and Objectives HIV-associated autonomic neuropathy (HIV-AN) is common; however, its clinical effect is unclear. Previously, it was shown that the composite autonomic severity score is associated with markers of morbidity such as the Veterans Affair Cohort Study index. In addition, it is known that cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy due to diabetes is associated with poor…

Mashup Score: 0
Background and Objectives Following brain injury, clinical assessments of residual and emerging cognitive function are difficult and fraught with errors. In adults, recent American Academy of Neurology (AAN) practice guidelines recommend objective neuroimaging and neurophysiologic measures to support diagnosis. Equivalent measures are lacking in pediatrics—an especially great challenge due to the…

Mashup Score: 13
Background and Objectives There has been a long-standing dialog as to whether essential tremor (ET) increases the risk of developing Parkinson disease (PD). While there are relevant cross-sectional data, there are almost no longitudinal prospective data. We quantified the conversion rate from ET to ETPD in a prospective longitudinal cohort study of patients with ET. We compared the observed rate…

Mashup Score: 1Total Tau Level in Cerebrospinal Fluid as a Predictor of Survival in Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease - 2 year(s) ago
Background and Objectives Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rapidly progressive and universally fatal neurodegenerative disorder with highly variable survival times, ranging from weeks to years. However, there are currently no tools for prognosticating a patient’s survival time. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the relationship between CSF total tau (t-tau) levels and time to…

This study provides evidence that the CSF t-tau level in patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a predictor of survival time. These findings can help providers deliver a more accurate prognosis to patients and their families. https://t.co/Sg6nwjYYJj #NeuroTwitter https://t.co/pHFF7g35Wr

Mashup Score: 1Diagnostic Accuracy of Ambulatory EEG vs Routine EEG in Patients With First Single Unprovoked Seizure - 2 year(s) ago
Background and Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the ambulatory EEG (aEEG) at detecting interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs)/seizures compared with routine EEG (rEEG) and repetitive/second rEEG in patients with a first single unprovoked seizure (FSUS). We also evaluated the association between IED/seizures on aEEG and seizure recurrence within 1 year of follow-up. Methods We…

Mashup Score: 0Stroke in Patients With Common Noncancerous Gynecologic Diseases - 2 year(s) ago
Background and Objectives Gynecologic diseases such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and adenomyosis are common in women of reproductive age. Case reports and small case series have reported ischemic stroke in women with such common noncancerous gynecologic diseases, and their cause of stroke is frequently attributed to cryptogenic stroke or unconventional mechanisms related to…
