BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: It is still uncertain that going direct to endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) leads to equivalent outcomes as bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute ischemic patients. This study aimed to explore whether the rate of ischemic core growth influenced the patient outcomes after bridging IVT vs. direct EVT. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study based on the International Stroke Perfusion Imaging Registry (INSPIRE). It selected acute ischemic stroke patients receiving perfusion CT within 4...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: It remains unknown to what extent ictal scalp EEG can accurately predict the localization of the intra-cerebral seizure onset in pre-surgical evaluation of drug resistant epilepsies. In this study, we aimed to define homogeneous ictal scalp EEG profiles (based on their first ictal abnormality) and assess their localizing value using simultaneously recorded scalp EEG and Stereo-EEG. METHODS: We retrospectively included consecutive patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy who had simultaneous stereo-EEG and scalp EEG recordings of at least one seizure, in the epileptology unit in Nancy, France...

BACKGROUND: and ObjectivesDiabetes mellitus (DM) contributes significantly to the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular events, and it may be a comorbidity of epilepsy. The objective of this study was to investigate whether long-term antiseizure medication (ASM) use is associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.MethodsWe analyzed data from the Chang Gung Research Database. Patients aged ≥ 45 years who received ASM treatment from January 2001 to May 2019 were identified...

BACKGROUND: & Objective: Low bone mineral density and dementia commonly co-occur in the elderly, with bone loss accelerating in dementia patients due to physical inactivity and poor nutrition. However, uncertainty persists over the extent to which bone loss already exists prior to the onset of dementia. Therefore, we investigated how dementia risk was affected by bone mineral density at various skeletal regions in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS: In a prospective population-based cohort study, bone mineral density at the femoral neck, lumbar spine, and total body and the trabecular bone score were obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 3,651 participants free from dementia between 2002-2005...

OBJECTIVE: Nearly one-third of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients develop post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE). The relationship between PTE and long-term outcomes is unknown. We tested if, after controlling for injury severity and age, PTE is associated with worse functional outcomes after severe TBI. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospective database of severe TBI patients treated from 2002 through 2018 at a single level 1 trauma center...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: hATTR is a rare autosomal-dominant systemic disease with variable penetrance and heterogeneous clinical presentation. Several effective treatments can reduce mortality and disability, though diagnosis remains challenging, especially in the US where disease is non-endemic. Our aim is to describe the neurologic and cardiac characteristics of common US ATTR variants V122I, L58H and late-onset V30M at presentation. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective case series of patients with a new diagnosis of ATTRv between January 2008 and January 2020 to characterize features of prominent US variants The neurological (examination, EMG, skin biopsy), cardiac (echo) and laboratory assessments (proBNP, reversible neuropathy screens) are described...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous infusion of tirofiban before endovascular thrombectomy for patients with large vessel occlusion due to intracranial atherosclerotic disease. The secondary objective was to identify potential mediators for the clinical effect of tirofiban. METHODS: Post hoc exploratory analysis of the Endovascular Treatment With versus Without Tirofiban for Patients with Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke (RESCUE BT) trial, which was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial at 55 centers in China from October 2018 to October 2021...

A 36-year-old man who presented multiple times with fever, headache, alteration of mental status, and focal neurological deficits. MRI revealed extensive white matter lesions that were partially reversed between episodes. Workup revealed persistently low complement factor C3, low factor B, and absent alternative complement pathway activity. Biopsy revealed neutrophilic vasculitis. Genetic testing revealed a homozygous mutation in complement factor I (CFI), that was felt to be pathogenic. CFI regulates complement mediated inflammation, and deficiency in this factor leads to unchecked alternative pathway activity and decrease in C3 and factor B through consumption...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Limbic predominant age related TDP-43 (LATE) impacts similar neuroanatomical networks as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is often comorbid with AD, though frequently missed in clinical diagnosis. The primary aim of this study was to elucidate the clinical and cognitive differences at baseline between patients with autopsy confirmed LATE, compared to patients with AD and comorbid LATE+AD.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assay detects misfolded α-synuclein in the skin and CSF of patients with the synucleinopathies Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (IRBD) constitutes the prodromal stage of these synucleinopathies. We aimed to compare the ability of RT-QuIC to identify misfolded α-synuclein in the skin and CSF of IRBD patients. METHODS: Cross-sectional study where consecutive patients with polysomnographic-confirmed IRBD and age-matched controls without RBD underwent skin biopsy and lumbar puncture the same day...

BACKGROUND: Differentiation between primary (PLS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) entails relevant consequences for prognosis and management but is mostly unreliable at early stages. The objectives of the study are: i) to determine the features at onset that could help to differentiate between PLS and ALS; ii) to evaluate the diagnostic performance of an integrated serum biomarker panel; iii) to identify the prognostic factors for patients presenting with an upper motor neuron (UMN)-syndrome...

OBJECTIVES: To (1) characterize short-term outcomes in episodic memory, as assessed by the Children's Memory Scale (CMS), following temporal lobe resection in children with epilepsy using empirical methods for assessing cognitive change (i.e., reliable change indices: RCIs and standardized regression-based change scores: SRBs) and (2) develop and internally validate clinically-applicable models to predict postoperative memory decline. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included children aged 6-16 years who underwent resective epilepsy surgery that included the temporal lobe (temporal-only: "temporal" and multilobar: "temporal-plus") and who completed pre- and postoperative neuropsychological assessments including the CMS...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Previous studies suggest lower mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number (CN) is associated with neurodegenerative diseases. However, whether mtDNA CN in whole blood is related to endophenotypes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD related dementia (AD/ADRD) needs further investigation. We assessed the association of mtDNA CN with cognitive function and MRI measures in community-based samples of middle-aged to older adults. METHODS: We included dementia-free participants from nine diverse community-based cohorts with whole-genome sequencing in the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program...
