Estimation of cognitive impairment in chronic pain patients and characteristics of estimated mild cognitive impairment
ConclusionPatients with chronic pain may exhibit cognitive impairment due to systemic metabolic disturbances. This suggests that chronic pain affects activities of daily living, resulting in systemic metabolic disorders. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

In-hospital stroke protocol outcomes before and after the implementation of neurological assessments by telemedicine: an observational case –control study
ConclusionThe same neurological emergency team may assess stroke patients in-person or by telemedicine, with excellent outcome metrics. This study reaffirms telestroke as a safe tool in acute stroke care. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Acute and chronic central nervous system oxidative stress/toxicity during hyperbaric oxygen treatment of subacute and chronic neurological conditions
ConclusionHyperbaric oxygen therapy-generated acute and chronic cases of CNS oxygen toxicity in chronic neurological conditions were identified at <2.0 ATA. Chronic CNS oxygen toxicity is idiosyncratic, unpredictable, and occurred at an average threshold of 103–116 AHs with wide variability. There was no difference between adults and children, but subacute cases were more sensitive than chronic intervention cases. When identified early it was reversible and an important aid in proper dosing of HBOT. If ignored permanent morbidity and mortality resulted with continued HBOT. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Increased functional connectivity between default mode network and visual network potentially correlates with duration of residual dizziness in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
ConclusionThe occurrence of RD might be associated with increased FNC between DMN and VN, and the increased FNC between DMN and VN might potentially correlate with the duration of RD symptoms. In addition, we found BPPV patients with RD showed altered global meta-states and temporal features. These findings are helpful for us to better understand the underlying neural mechanisms of RD and potentially contribute to intervention development for BPPV patients with RD.

Case report: A novel ACTA1 variant in a patient with nemaline rods and increased glycogen deposition
ConclusionOur case expands the repertoire of molecular and pathological features observed in actinopathies. We highlight the value of ultrastructural examination to investigate the abnormalities detected at the histological level. We also emphasized the use of expanded gene panels in the molecular analysis of neuromuscular patients, especially for those ones presenting multiple bioptic alterations.

Behavioral disinhibition in stroke
DiscussionThis project will be the first MRI study on PSBD in stroke survivors. The results will shed light on the associations of lesions in the orbitofrontal cortex, anterior temporal lobe and subcortical brain structures with the risk of PSBD. The obtained data will advance our understanding of the pathogenesis and clinical course of PSBD in stroke, as well as other neurological conditions. The findings are thus likely to be applicable to the large population of patients with neurological disorders at risk of PSBD and are expected to stimulate further research in this field.

Differences in the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations of spontaneous brain activity between preterm and term infants
ConclusionSignificant variances in spontaneous brain activity have been observed in various regions between term infants and preterm infants of equivalent gestational age. These variations could potentially impact the emotional and cognitive development of preterm infants in the long term. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Analysis of characteristics of movement disorders in patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis
ConclusionMDs associated with anti-NMDAR encephalitis were predominantly hyperkinetic. Chorea occurred more commonly in patients aged <12 years. Patients with MDs were prone to autonomic dysfunction, consciousness disorders, pulmonary infection, and gastrointestinal dysfunction; they had more intense inflammation, more severe disease, and a poorer short-term prognosis.

Correlations between cognitive reserve, gray matter, and cerebrospinal fluid volume in healthy elders and mild cognitive impairment patients
ConclusionPeople with higher CR show better levels of cognitive function, and MCI patients with higher CR showed more severe volume atrophy of the right middle cingulate cortex and the right parahippocampal gyrus, but more CSF at a given level of global cognition. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)
