Background: SARS-CoV2 is associated with neurological and psychiatric complications including cerebrovascular events, encephalopathy peripheral nerve disease. Detailed clinical data, factors recovery, lacking, hampering prediction modelling targeted therapeutic interventions. We studied COVID-associated complications, to investigate the key features, those outcome.Methods: This UK-wide cross-sectional surveillance study of COVID-19 in adult hospitalised patients captured detailed data on...
Neurological complications are the most commonly encountered extra-pulmonary manifestation of infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae). Here authors report case a 39-year-old woman who was admitted acute-onset bilateral visual loss coinciding ascending numbness. Clinical examination, neurological imaging, and nerve conduction studies revealed syndrome optic neuritis Guillain-Barré (GBS). Serological testing confirmed recent exposure to M. pneumoniae. The patient did not...
Virtual learning resources such as podcasts and social media are increasingly used in medical education. Podcasts one example of virtual learning, where prerecorded audio files available to stream or download from the internet, usually without a fee at any time. This gives listeners flexibility when they engage with educational material, enabling be better tailored individual needs. often enjoyed for their relaxed conversational style. However, must aware lack external peer review incomplete...
Data from the RCP 2017/2018 census demonstrates that number of physicians training flexibly at both consultant and trainee levels is increasing. Approximately 27% neurology consultants, 12% trainees work Less Than Full Time (LTFT), according to ABN workforce survey 2018, 18% responses recent ABNT 2020 were LTFT trainees. This perhaps reflects a changing culture within medicine more broadly society itself recognising need for better work-life balance with greater autonomy over how when we...
Introduction In 2019 the ABN delivered first Acute Neurology Boot Camp. This addressed an unmet need in post-graduate training. We designed a one-day series of seminars covering common or critical presentations for neurology registrars on-call. 2020, face-to-face events weren’t feasible, and while having to adapt new model working including tele-neurology, virtual radiology meetings, we adapted boot camp this model. Methods online version over two weeks. Videos were recorded repeat viewing....
Background Lyme disease is endemic in the UK with a high incidence southwest England. Neurological involvement occurs approximately 5% of infected individuals. Previous reviews England have shown consistent phenotype most cases, however anecdotal review suggests small number atypical diverse presentations, which provide diagnostic challenge, even to experienced neurologists. Methods We performed retrospective, observational study all identified cases (positive screening ELISA confirmed by...
