Modern management of MS targets No Evidence Disease Activity (NEDA): no clinical relapses, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) disease activity and disability worsening. While MRI is the principal tool available to neurologists for monitoring clinically silent and, where appropriate, escalating treatment, standard radiology reports are qualitative may be insensitive development new or enlarging lesions. Existing quantitative neuroimaging tools lack adequate validation. In 397 multi-center scan...
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy with related inflammation (CAA-RI) is an uncommon inflammatory subtype of CAA, a variety presentations that can mimic other focal and diffuse neurological disorders. We present 63-year-old man recurrent stereotyped symptoms, who was initially diagnosed as capsular warning syndrome treated antithrombotic therapy. Atypical imaging led to further investigation including cerebral biopsy, which confirmed CAA-RI; he improved clinically radiologically immunosuppression....
A 38-year-old man developed headache, dysarthria and dysphasia after insufflation of cocaine. Brain imaging showed multiple white matter lesions, suggesting acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), but the clinical features were atypical for demyelination. These lesions may represent a levamisole-associated vascular endotheliopathy, with mechanism similar to posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Levamisole is no longer used chemotherapeutic agent legally acquirable veterinary...
Haycocknema perplexum is an exceedingly rare cause of parasitic myositis endemic to Australia, more specifically, Tasmania and North Queensland. There a paucity literature regarding this diagnosis, with only nine previously described cases.This report details two cases biopsy-confirmed H. from Townsville University Hospital describes the first-ever case subclinical infection. limited known information life cycle definitive host which has hindered development non-invasive diagnostic test.

This pilot program evaluates the impact of telephone versus mixed modalities care on A1C. A retrospective chart review was conducted to evaluate mean baseline and follow-up A1C values for all patients who received care, video-conferencing, or in-person clinic appointments with certified diabetes educators at a single, rural U.S. Department Veterans Affairs clinic. The results this evaluation showed that glycemic control improved both in management through alone those care.
