Correlating diffusion-weighted MRI intensity with type 2 pathology in mixed MM-type sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

The existence of affected subjects with both abnormal prion protein (PrPSc) types has been reported, and their clinical features were somewhat similar to the dominant PrPSc type but varied in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD). Presently, the antemortem identification of both PrPSc types in sCJD is not possible. In this study, we attempted to clinically predict the concurrence of MM-type sCJD with another PrPSc type in the same individual. We retrospectively identified seven MM-type sCJD cases with both fine vacuole-type spongiform (FV) and large confluent vacuole-type spongiform change (LCV) among 49 sCJD cases. from Journal of the Neurological Sciences https://ift.tt/2BAasYd

Deep brain stimulation hardware-related complications and their management: A single-center retrospective analysis of 65 patients with various dystonic conditions

1.Slipped connector to the retromastoid area where the skin is thin and prone to erode caused the visible erosion without visible signs of contaminant infection. The connector is clearly visible thought the eroded skin. 2. The erosion over the right implantable pulse generator in the subclavicular area. 3. The infected slipped connector to the retromastoid region with visible hardware (connector and proximal part of connection wire). 4. Large infected erosion of the implantable pulse generator in the left subclavicular area with sings of infection (redness of the skin without purulent leakage). from Journal of the Neurological Sciences https://ift.tt/2N7tnPB
