Mashup Score: 18
The first patient of the morning in my neurogenetics clinic at Johns Hopkins Hospital (United States) is a 26-month-old girl with mild developmental delays. When she was evaluated by the developmental pediatrician, she was noted to be ataxic, which prompted a brain MRI. This revealed signal abnormalities in the white matter suspicious for a leukodystrophy. Lysosomal enzymes were sent off the week before and returned with a low arylsulfatase level. Because of the relatively high frequency of pseudodeficienc

Mashup Score: 12Cultural Perspectives on Neurologic Diseases in Ghana: A Reflection on Epilepsy | Neurology® Journals - 10 day(s) ago
Epilepsy, a neurologic disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, presents a complex challenge in Ghana, where traditional beliefs and modern medical understanding often collide. In Ghana, the true prevalence of epilepsy is unknown, but it is estimated to be 10.1 per 1,000. 1 In Akan parlance, seizures are described as “Ɛsoro aka no,” which loosely translates as “to be stricken by the heavens.” This phrase reflects the deeply spiritual interpr etation of epilepsy within the Ghanaian culture. Here, I

Mashup Score: 12On the Road: A Thrilling Experience at the 2023 African Stroke Organization Conference - 9 month(s) ago
In my Liberian physician experience, things are rarely seen from the perspective of patients. During my practice, before I embarked on neurology subspecialty training in Zambia, I would occasionally try to do just that upon encountering the latest stroke patient in the emergency room. I would think to myself, as I went through a neurologic assessment encompassing only bulk, tone, power, and reflexes (sadly basic, in retrospect), what does this mean to him? Does he regard his reflection in his wife’s

As an internal medicine resident with a deep-rooted interest in neurology, I embarked on a remarkable journey that brought me from Accra to Lusaka. The seeds of this journey were sown by my mentor, Dr. Fiifi Duodu, who had visited Zambia and raved about the exceptional neurology training happening there. I also participated in online clinical teaching sessions organized by Dr. Deanna Saylor, where I got a glimpse of the extraordinary neurology work being done in Zambia and the prolific research emanating

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, reports indicated possible associated central and peripheral neurologic manifestations with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes ranging from dysgeusia to more ominous presentations like stroke and hypoxic brain injury, encephalopathy, or even long-COVID. 1 Global collaborative efforts were created in the eagerness to harmonize clinical data collection in multiple languages 2 and thus, address the usual gaps in our epidemiolog ic knowledge of conditions.
