A scoping review on muscle cramps and spasms in upper motor neuron disorder –two sides of the same coin?
ConclusionMuscle cramps and spasms probably represent related symptoms with a shared pathophysiological component. When considering future treatment strategies, it is important to recognize that part of the patient’s spasms may be attributed to cramps. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Video head impulse test in stroke: a review of published studies
In conclusion, the manuscript underscores the potential of vHIT as a valuable addition to the diagnostic arsenal for acute dizziness, particularly in the context of posterior circulation stroke. It calls for further research and wider adoption of vHIT in clinical settings to improve patient care and reduce unnecessary costs associated with misdiagnoses. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Management of intervenable factors to reduce vascular complications in patients with internal carotid artery occlusion treated by non-emergency endovascular treatment
ConclusionThe use of non-neurology guide wires for vessel opening during non-emergency endovascular treatment in patients with ICAO increases the risk of vascular complications. Preoperative assessment and management of HbA1c levels can reduce the incidence of intraoperative vascular complications. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Effect of scapular stabilization exercises on subacromial pain (impingement) syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionExisting evidence moderately supports the efficacy of SSE for reducing pain and improving function in SAPS, without significant improvement in ROM. Future research should focus on larger, high-quality, standardized protocols to better understand SSE’s effects across diverse SAPS populations, treatment, and outcome measures.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=307437, CRD42022307437.

Isolated insular stroke: topography is the answer with respect to outcome and cardiac involvement
Discussion and conclusionIIS are extremely rare, representing according to our study about 2.6% ischemic strokes cases per year, and patients have peculiar clinical manifestations, such as dysautonomia and awareness deficits. Our data suggest the possibility for these patients to completely recover after acute ischemic stroke notwithstanding the pivotal role of the insula in cerebral connections and the frequent association with MCA occlusion. Moreover, given the central role of the insula in regulating autonomic functions, newly detected cardiac arrhythmias must be taken into consideration, as well as a full diagnostic wo...

Digital subtraction angiography-guided peripheral nerve stimulation via the foramen rotundum for refractory trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia: a case report and literature review
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a debilitating complication of varicella-zoster virus infection. This case report presents a novel approach to treating refractory trigeminal maxillary postherpetic neuralgia using digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-guided peripheral nerve stimulation via the foramen rotundum. A 72-year-old female with severe, treatment-resistant pain underwent this intervention. The results demonstrated the disappearance of tactile allodynia, a significant reduction in oral analgesic requirements, and no observed complications or side effects during a 3-year follow-up period. This case highlights the pot...

Clinical study on the selection of endoscopes and microscopes for transsphenoidal surgery of non-aggressive pituitary macroadenoma and microadenoma and the influencing factors of hyposmia after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery
ConclusionMicrosurgery and endoscopic surgery are suitable surgical treatments for nonaggressive microadenomas and macroadenomas. The total tumor removal and postoperative hormone remission rates of the two surgical methods were approximately the same. However, the microsurgery group had a shorter operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, faster olfactory function recovery, and a lower average operation cost. The position of the nasal septal mucosal flap incision was a risk factor for hyposmia at 3 months postoperatively. Hyposmia is less likely to occur when the superior edge of the nasal septal mucosal flap incis...

Vestibular function in cases of posterior semicircular canal canalolithiasis and cupulolithiasis
ConclusionThe results of vHIT and VEMP in pc-cu and pc-ca were partially abnormal, but they did not show any correlation with side of BPPV. It can be considered that there are scattered vestibular peripheral organ damage in both groups. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Can head sway patterns differentiate between patients with Meniere ’s disease vs. peripheral vestibular hypofunction?
ConclusionWhile limited in numbers, Patients with MD had a high variability in head sway in all directions, and their average head sway was between controls and those with VH. A larger sample as well as patients with worse symptoms at time of testing could elucidate whether head sway via HMD could become a viable test in this population. A similar finding between 20- and 60-s scene and the full portability of the system with an in-clinic testing setup could help these future endeavors. Head sway derived from HMD is sensitive to VH and can be clinically useful as an outcome measure to evaluate sensory integration for postur...

Long-term treatment with Perampanel of Chinese patients with focal-onset seizures, especially in sleep-related epilepsy: a prospective real-world observational study
ConclusionPER effectively reduced seizure frequency in Chinese patients with FOS, particularly in those with SRE, over a 24-month period. The treatment was well-tolerated and had a clear linear dose-plasma concentration relationship. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

The impact of three SMN2 gene copies on clinical characteristics and effect of disease-modifying treatment in patients with spinal muscular atrophy: a systematic literature review
ConclusionSMN2 copy number is strongly correlated with SMA phenotype in patients with SMN1 deletion, while no correlation was found in patients with an SMN1 mutation. Patients with three SMN2 copies show a highly variable clinical phenotype. Early initiation of treatment is highly effective in presymptomatic patients with three SMN2 copies.

Role of serum neuron-specific enolase levels in the early diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis-associated encephalopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionElevated serum NSE levels in patients with sepsis are associated with the early diagnosis of SAE and mortality; therefore, serum NSE probably is a valid biomarker for the early diagnosis and prognosis of patients with SAE.Systematic review registrationThis study was registered in PROSPERO, CRD42023433111.
