Abstract A network neuroscience perspective can significantly advance the understanding of neurodegenerative disorders, particularly frontotemporal dementia (FTD). This study employed an innovative multiplex connectomics approach, integrating cortical thickness (CTH) and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in a dual-layer model to investigate alterations FTD subtypes across two geographically distinct sites. The cohort included groups behavioural variant (bvFTD),...
Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an underexplored condition. This study aims to systematically review the clinico-investigational and pathophysiologic aspects of COVID-19 its vaccines in association with AIE, identify factors predicting neurological severity outcomes.Relevant data sources were searched using appropriate search terms on January 15, 2022. Studies meeting criteria for AIE having a temporal or included.Out 1,894 citations, we...
Abstract Introduction and Objectives Early dementia diagnosis in low middle‐income countries (LMIC) is challenging due to limited availability of brief, culturally appropriate, psychometrically validated tests. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) one the most widely used cognitive screening tests primary secondary care globally. In current study, we adapted MoCA five Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam) determined optimal cut‐off points that correspond for clinical...
Deep cerebral venous thrombosis (DCVT) is an uncommon cause of stroke with diverse predisposing factors, clinical presentations, imaging findings, and functional outcomes, which makes the diagnosis DCVT even more challenging.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had multifaceted and enduring impacts on people with dementia their caregivers; however, our understanding of the long-term outcomes remains limited. We aimed to explore effects cognitive symptoms vaccination rates in living dementia.
Vascular Parkinsonism (VaP) is characterized by symmetric, predominantly lower limb bradykinesia and rigidity no significant improvement with levodopa. We aimed to describe the clinical radiological features of patients VaP factors that determine levodopa responsiveness.This a retrospective chart review VaP. The study included 44 (36 men) diagnosis was based on Zijlman's criteria. Demographic details were recorded from case files. MRI data available for all patients. However, motor severity...
Background and Purpose: Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) presents with a spectrum of due to stroke poses huge socioeconomic burden especially in low middle-income countries. There is critical need for early recognition identification VCI patients. Therefore, we developed validated culturally appropriate neuropsychological instruments, the ICMR-Neuro Cognitive Tool-Box (ICMR-NCTB) Montreal Assessment (MoCA) diagnose vascular MCI dementia Indian context. Methods: A total 181 participants:...
Abstract Background The accurate characterization of language and semantic memory deficits is crucial for diagnosis primary progressive aphasia (PPA). In a linguistically diverse society like India, assessment with appropriate culturally relevant tools essential but challenging. This study aimed at developing culture specific tests to diagnose PPA profile cognitive‐linguistic characteristics cohort in India. Method Based on typical Indian languages: free‐word order, rich system morphology...
Sir, Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a rare autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease resulting from heterozygous mutations in the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor gene.[1] ALSP challenging diagnosis absence of pathological or genetic confirmation because its varied clinical presentation imaging features. We report case 54-year-old lady presenting predominant language disturbance form logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia...
Background:To study the efcacy and safety of DMF (Dimethyl fumarate) factors related to drug response, switching adherence in Indian population. We aimed evaluate efcacy, tolerability multiple sclerosis (MS). A chart review Methods: was performed for patients treated with MS from registry maintained at hospital. analyses assess relationships between baseline parameters outcome Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) progression status. The Results: included 37 (median follow-up = 27.5...
Background: Orbital cellulitis is characterized by the infective inflammation of orbital structures, usually posterior to septum. Extension infection from paranasal sinuses most common etiology for cellulitis. Intracranial complications include meningitis, subdural empyema, brain abscess, and cavernous sinus thrombosis.
 Case presentation: A 33-year-old man presented with acute onset foul-smelling mucopurulent nasal discharge swelling left eye followed altered sensorium. On examination...
Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) and Logopenic progressive aphasia (LPA) are nonamnestic variants of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Language deficits a hallmark LPA but not PCA. Studies have revealed the presence language in PCA similar to LPA, however it has been consistent observation. Only alexia agraphia listed latest consensus criteria for classification In this case report we present clinical, cognitive-linguistic, neuroimaging features patient presenting with an unusual overlap LPA-PCA....
