Burden of Stroke Attributable to Nonoptimal Temperature in 204 Countries and Territories

  • Neurology®
  • May 2024
  • Stroke attributable to nonoptimal temperature needs more attention with dramatic climate change. The aim of this study was to estimate the global burden and distribution characteristics of the burden.

Effect of Intermittent Oro-Esophageal Tube Feeding in Bulbar Palsy After Ischemic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Study

  • Stroke
  • March 2024
  • Nasogastric tube feeding (NG) has been widely used in patients with bulbar palsy after ischemic stroke but is associated with a significant risk of complications including malnutrition and pneumonia. Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding (IOE) can help alleviate these concerns. This study explored the clinical effect of IOE versus NG on nutritional status, swallowing function, stroke-associated pneumonia, and depression in patients with bulbar palsy after ischemic stroke.

Downstream Biomarker Effects of Gantenerumab or Solanezumab in Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Disease: The DIAN-TU-001 Randomized Clinical Trial

  • JAMA Neurology
  • April 2024
  • Effects of antiamyloid agents, targeting either fibrillar or soluble monomeric amyloid peptides, on downstream biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma are largely unknown in dominantly inherited Alzheimer disease (DIAD).

Antithrombotic Treatment for Cervical Artery Dissection

  • JAMA Neurology
  • May 2024
  • Cervical artery dissection is the most common cause of stroke in younger adults. To date, there is no conclusive evidence on which antithrombotic therapy should be used to treat patients. To perform an individual patient data meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials comparing anticoagulants and antiplatelets in prevention of stroke after cervical artery dissection.

B cell-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T cells as an emerging therapy in neuroimmunological diseases

  • Lancet Neurology
  • June 2024
  • The approval of disease-modifying therapies, particularly those targeting B cells, has highlighted the role of immunotherapeutic interventions in the management of these diseases. Despite these successes, challenges remain, particularly for patients who do not respond to conventional therapies, underscoring the need for innovative approaches.

Case-Control Study of Individuals With Small Fiber Neuropathy After COVID-19

  • Neurology® Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation
  • April 2024
  • Distinguishing granulomatous diseases remains diagnostically challenging. Clinical phenotypes and neuroimaging findings resemble many infectious and noninfectious disorders. We describe a Hispanic/Latino man diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis who deteriorated neurologically after treatments. Additional workup revealed a pathology more consistent with neurosarcoidosis. Care access delays and social circumstances likely complicated his diagnosis.

  • Alzheimer’s & Dementia
  • May 2024
  • Patients with subjective memory complaints (SMC) may include subgroups with different neuropsychological profiles and risks of cognitive impairment.
