Training Non-Neurologist Healthcare Professionals in the Recognition and Management of Movement Disorders in Malawi
Training Objectives The primary goal of the training initiative is to equip non-neurologist healthcare professionals in Malawi with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively identify and manage movement disorders. This training seeks to address the significant gap in expertise concerning these conditions in resource-limited settings, where specialized neurologists may be scarce. By focusing on… Read more: Training Non-Neurologist Healthcare Professionals in the Recognition and Management of Movement Disorders in Malawi
A Case of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Manifesting With Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures
Case Presentation A 35-year-old female patient presented to a specialized clinic following years of experiencing recurrent seizures, characterized by episodes of loss of consciousness, muscle rigidity, and abnormal movements. These episodes were initially diagnosed as epilepsy, but subsequent evaluations revealed that they did not correlate with electrical activity in the brain, marking a shift towards… Read more: A Case of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Manifesting With Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures
Training Non-Neurologist Healthcare Professionals in the Recognition and Management of Movement Disorders in Malawi
Study Overview This study aimed to enhance the capabilities of non-neurologist healthcare practitioners in Malawi, focusing on the recognition and management of various movement disorders. Such conditions, which include Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor, are commonly misdiagnosed and inadequately treated due to the limited specialty training available in the region. The pilot program was structured… Read more: Training Non-Neurologist Healthcare Professionals in the Recognition and Management of Movement Disorders in Malawi
A Case of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Manifesting With Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures
Background of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) is a psychological condition that arises following exposure to prolonged or repeated traumatic events, particularly of an interpersonal nature, such as emotional or physical abuse, neglect, bullying, or domestic violence. Unlike traditional PTSD, which typically results from a singular traumatic event, C-PTSD is characterized… Read more: A Case of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Manifesting With Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures
Beyond biomarker validation: defining when serum neurofilament light chain should influence management in multiple sclerosis
Serum Neurofilament Light Chain in Multiple Sclerosis Serum neurofilament light chain (NfL) has emerged as a significant biomarker in the context of multiple sclerosis (MS), a neurodegenerative condition characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. NfL is a protein that serves as a structural component of neurons, and its levels… Read more: Beyond biomarker validation: defining when serum neurofilament light chain should influence management in multiple sclerosis

Concussion Safety Beliefs and Participation Decisions Among US Adults With a History of Concussion
CONCLUSIONS: Responses varied across differently worded safety questions; they do not establish actual behavior or national prevalence.
Association of childhood mild traumatic brain injury with mental and behavioral health outcomes later in life among U.S. Veterans: A LIMBIC-CENC study
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common injury across all age groups and populations, with a high prevalence among military service members and Veterans. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to use a large, prospective cohort of Veterans to examine the association between childhood mTBI and multimodal mental and behavioral health outcomes, and […]
Pharmacological management of vestibular migraine of childhood in a pediatric vestibular program
CONCLUSIONS: For pediatric vestibular migraine prevention, topiramate showed superior improvement in dizziness and headache with acceptable tolerability. Triptans performed the best among rescue medications. This highlights topiramate as a potential first line preventative and supports triptans in treating pediatric vestibular migraine attacks.
Driving Simulation Methods for Assessing Post-Injury Driving Performance After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Scoping Review
Driving is a cognitively demanding task that involves the continuous integration of attention, executive control, visual processing, and motor coordination. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) may disrupt these functions and affect driving performance during recovery. Driving simulation is increasingly used to examine post-mTBI driving performance, yet substantial heterogeneity exists in simulator platforms, task designs, and […]
Intracranial lesion yield and downstream management after mild traumatic brain injury in emergency department patients receiving antiplatelet therapy: a two-center retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: In antiplatelet-treated adults with mTBI, traumatic intracranial lesions were detected in approximately one in seven patients on the initial CT scan, whereas neurosurgical intervention remained uncommon. Trauma-related clinical features appeared more informative than age alone for lesion detection.
