Objective The aim of this work was to investigate whether an imaging measure corticospinal tract (CST) injury in the acute phase can predict motor outcome at 3 months comparison clinical assessment initial impairment. Methods A two‐site prospective cohort study followed up a group first‐ever ischemic stroke patients using Upper‐Extremity Fugl‐Meyer (UE‐FM) Scale impairment and months. weighted CST lesion load (wCST‐LL) calculated by overlaying patient's map on magnetic resonance with...
Expanding the US Food and Drug Administration-approved indications for immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with cancer has resulted therapeutic success immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Neurologic irAEs (irAE-Ns) have an incidence of 1%-12% a high fatality rate relative to other irAEs. Lack standardized disease definitions accurate phenotyping leads syndrome misclassification impedes development evidence-based treatments translational research. The objective this study was develop...
Background and Purpose— A decrease in fractional anisotropy (FA) of the ipsilesional corticospinal tract (CST) distal to stroke lesions subacute (eg, 30 days) chronic phase has been correlated with poor motor outcomes, but it is unclear whether FA values obtained within acute (here defined as 80 hours after onset) can predict later outcome. Methods— Fifty-eight patients underwent an assessment impairment at 3 months using upper extremity Fugl-Meyer assessment. values, onset, were determined...
Inclusion body myositis is the most common progressive muscle wasting disease in people older than 50 years, with no effective drug treatment. Arimoclomol an oral co-inducer of cellular heat shock response that was safe and well-tolerated a pilot study inclusion myositis, reduced key pathological markers two in-vitro models representing degenerative inflammatory components this disease, improved pathology function mutant valosin-containing protein mice. In current study, we aimed to assess...
A growing number of nurse practitioners (NPs) are entering neurologic practice. Postgraduate educational needs NPs partly dictated by previous experience, which is not well defined. We aim to describe education in NP programs better inform efforts develop tailored initiatives. website review was performed identify accredited and program leaders. previously developed survey designed facilitate a description physician assistant (PA) adapted for leaders an iterative approach. The distributed...
Objective Pneumonia is a morbid complication of stroke, but evidence‐based strategies for its prevention are lacking. Acid‐suppressive medications have been associated with increased risk nosocomial pneumonia in hospitalized patients. It unclear whether these results can be extrapolated to stroke patients, where other factors strongly modulate risk. We investigated the association between acid‐suppressive medication and hospital‐acquired patients acute stroke. Methods All ischemic or...
To assess the operating characteristics of Beck-Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and BDI-II cognitive subscale (BDI-II-cog) in screening for major depression (MDD) post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients.Between October 2003 July 2005, 131 post-MI patients admitted to an urban academic medical center completed a semi-structured interview within 72 hours symptom onset. Sensitivity, specificity, positive negative predictive values, overall correct classification, likelihood ratios various...
Neurology residency training is inpatient focused, underemphasizing outpatient disorders. We implemented a novel didactic series of facilitated discussions between patient and their neurologist to expose residents topics management skills.
Optimal management of myasthenia gravis (MG) in individuals ≥65 y old is unknown and patient factors may limit therapeutic choices. Safety efficacy rituximab older patients with MG has not been well-studied.This retrospective study examined 40 (14 old) treated for MG. The primary outcome was the proportion reaching "Improved" or better on Myasthenia Gravis Foundation America (MGFA) Post-Intervention Status (PIS) at 12 mo, compared between younger patients.Ninety-two percent achieved MGFA PIS...
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a sudden shift toward virtual learning in neurology education, which presents challenges for educators. However, is here stay three key reasons: demand among students, ease of dissemination, and potential improve educational quality. Despite challenges, educators can teach effectively using appropriate tools methods, with innovative approaches that will ultimately lead sustained improvements education. Here, we aim help incorporate instruction into...
A growing number of advanced practice providers (APPs) are entering neurologic practice, and educational initiatives focused on postgraduate training in neurology for these turn. Neurologic education APP degree programs is not well defined, which limits the ability to tailor specific needs APPs. We aim describe physician assistant (PA) better inform efforts.
