Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) which commonly leads to disability. We reviewed articles on MS from Pakistan using PubMed, Google Scholar and Pak Medinet to present different aspects of the disease and the status of disease modifying treatments in Pakistan and South Asia. MS is not as uncommon in Pakistan as it has been previously thought to be. Estimated prevalence of MS in Pakistan may be 10 per 100,000 population. Data suggests that most features of MS found in Pakistan are similar to those found in the West. from Journal of the Neurological Sciences https://ift.tt/3jVepf4

Congratulations Drs. Kai‐Liang Wang,  Joshua K. Wong,  Robert S. Eisinger, Christine Smith, Wei Hu,  Aparna Wagle Shukla, Christopher W. Hess, Michael S. Okun and Adolfo Ramirez‐Zamora on the publication of “Therapeutic Advances in the Treatment of Holmes Tremor: Systematic Review,” in the June issue of Neuromodulation Technology at the Neural Interface. Abstract Objective We aimed to formulate a practical clinical treatment algorithm for Holmes’s tremor (HT) by reviewing currently published clinical data. Materials and Methods We performed a systematic review of articles discussing the management of HT published between January 1990 and December 2018. We examined data from 89 patients published across 58 studies detailing the effects of pharmacological or surgical interventions on HT severity. Clinical outcomes were measured by a continuous 1‐10 ranked scale. The majority of studies addressing treatment response were case series or case reports. No randomized control studie

A national shortage of neurologists has for years resulted in patients falling through the cracks, especially those with mobility issues or who live in remote areas. The broadening of telemedicine reimbursement, brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, has served as a net for many of these previously unseen patients. We spoke to one neurologist, Dr. Elaine Jones, who shared how this is particularly helping neurology patients in one small town in Alaska. Jones has been practicing telemedicine for years. Well before the coronavirus hit, she was able to see patients remotely from an office she set up in the home she shares with her elderly parents in South Carolina. Dr. Elaine Jones “When COVID hit, it was kind of nice that I was already doing telemedicine so I didn’t have to worry about exposure and working in an ER,” Jones told us in a recent interview. For the last handful of years she has been working for SOC Telemed , serving ERs remotely across the country. Jones ran a private n

UF Health Shands Hospital placed a remarkable nine specialties in the Top 50 of U.S. News & World Report’s 2020-21 Best Hospitals, a feat seldom achieved by the vast majority of the 5,000 hospitals around the nation analyzed in the annual U.S. News report. No other hospital in Florida placed as many medical specialties in the Top 50 nationally, underlining our position as the leader in Florida health care. Neurology and neurosurgery were rated a “high-performing” specialty, which means it ranked in the top 10% of all hospitals scored in that specialty across the United States. These rankings are a reflection of how our employees are entirely focused on giving their best every day to meet the needs of our patients. It is teamwork and this commitment to excellence that brings such national recognition to UF Health’s premier clinical care, education and research programs.

Abstract Background:  The centromedian (CM) region of the thalamus is a common target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment for Tourette Syndrome (TS). However, there are currently no standard microelectrode recording or macrostimulation methods to differentiate CM thalamus from other nearby structures and nuclei. Case Report:  Here we present a case of failed conventional stereotactic targeting in TS DBS. Postoperative local field potential recordings (LFPs) showed features including beta power desynchronization during voluntary movement and thalamo-cortical phase amplitude coupling at rest. These findings suggested that the DBS lead

Fellows’ Journal Club Sixty-three consecutive patients who presented to the authors’ institution with cervicofacial venous malformations and underwent postcontrast MR imaging were studied. Three neuroradiologists reviewed brain MRIs for the presence of developmental venous anomalies, dural venous sinus ectasia, and cavernous malformations. The prevalence of developmental venous anomalies in this patient population was compared with an age- and sex-matched control group without venous malformations. The overall presence of developmental venous anomalies in patients with venous malformations was 36.5% (23/63) compared with 7.9% (10/126) in controls. The prevalence of dural venous sinus ectasia was 9.5% (6/63) compared with 0% for controls. The authors show a significant association between cervicofacial venous malformations and cerebral developmental venous anomalies as well as between cervicofacial venous malformations and dural venous sinus abnormalities.

Editor’s Choice The authors used pseudospiral Cartesian undersampling with compressed sensing reconstruction to achieve high spatiotemporal resolution (0.5mm isotropic, ∼30 ms) in a scan time of 10 minutes. They analyzed the repeatability of accelerated 4D-flow scans and compared flow rates, stroke volume, and the pulsatility index with 2D-flow and conventional 4D-flow MR imaging in a flow phantom and 15 healthy subjects. Mean flow-rate bias compared with 2D-flow was lower for accelerated than for conventional 4D-flow MR imaging. Pulsatility index bias gave similar results. Stroke volume bias showed no difference from accelerated bias for conventional 4D-flow MR imaging. Repeatability for accelerated 4D-flow was similar to that of 2D-flow MR imaging. They conclude that highly accelerated high-spatiotemporal-resolution 4D-flow MR imaging at 7T in intracranial arteries and aneurysms provides repeatable and accurate quantitative flow values.

Congratulations Dr. Kenneth Heilman, on the publication of “ Hugo Liepmann, Parkinson’s disease and upper limb apraxia ,” in the July 21st issue of Cortex. Abstract It has now been 100 years since Hugo Liepmann, in his classic 1920 paper described limb kinetic, ideomotor, and ideational apraxia. There are now several rating scales used to assess and grade the signs and symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease; however, none of these assesses patients for the presence of these disabling forms of upper limb apraxia. This paper, reviews the types of apraxia that can be associated with Parkinson’s disease, how they can be tested, the disabilities associated with these disorders and possible treatments. from Department of Neurology » College of Medicine » University of Florida https://ift.tt/314hUr8
