Abstract

Over the last three decades, measuring and modulating cerebellar activity and its connectivity with other brain regions has become an emerging research topic in clinical neuroscience. The most important connection is the cerebellothalamocortical pathway, which can be functionally interrogated using a paired‐pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation paradigm.… Read More...

Objective

The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic criteria used in randomized controlled trials to define trial participants as having cervicogenic headache (CeH).

Background

While animal and human studies suggest a biological basis for “cervicogenic” headaches the diagnostic criteria necessary to evidence CeH are debated.… Read More...

I read with great interest the article by Goji and Kanemoto [1]. After reading this article carefully, I wonder if the authors misinterpreted their data about relationship between dose of perampanel at the endpoint of the study and changes in the total Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BAQ) scores or they made typographical errors.… Read More...

The aim of this study was to explore the role of the vessel diameter at the site of middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) regarding technical aspects, safety, and clinical outcomes.

This study aimed to examine the temporal trend of 30-day and 1-year mortality among U.S. Medicare beneficiaries who were hospitalized for ischemic stroke, with special focus on the mortality among subgroup of patients in relation to acute reperfusion therapies including intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).… Read More...

Limb shaking is a rare manifestation of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) associated with carotid occlusion, mostly unilateral events. We describe the case of a 69 year-old man who presented with repeated episodes of irregular jerking movements in the bilateral upper and lower extremities, precipitated by standing up.… Read More...

Objective: Controlled and open label trials have demonstrated efficacy of cannabidiol for certain epileptic encephalopathies. However, plant derived cannabidiol products have been used almost exclusively. Efficacy of synthetically derived cannabidiol has not been studied before. The objective of this study was to evaluate tolerability and efficacy of synthetic cannabidiol in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy.… Read More...

Background: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a complication that may cause neurological deterioration in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Both neutrophil and platelet have been associated with the stroke progression. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between neutrophil-to-platelet ratio (NPR) and HT after acute ischemic stroke.… Read More...
