Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to address the disparity in access to mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in low- to middle-income countries by organizing team-based workshops aimed at improving knowledge and skills related to MT for stroke treatment.
- The workshops, held in Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, included didactic and hands-on training for neurointerventional teams, resulting in significant improvements in test scores and practical skills in managing strokes due to large vessel occlusion.
- Feedback from participants indicated high satisfaction rates, with a majority believing that the training would positively impact their clinical practice.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores biomarkers of cellular dysfunction in early Parkinson's disease (ePD) to aid in developing targeted therapies.
- Researchers scanned 12 ePD patients and 13 healthy controls using advanced MRI techniques to assess brain sodium levels, microstructural changes, and iron deposition.
- The results showed higher sodium concentrations in specific brain regions of ePD patients, suggesting potential new therapeutic directions that should be investigated further.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the use of amantadine in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and its effectiveness in treating levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LIDs).
- It found that 12.6% of PD patients in the French NS-Park cohort were using amantadine, primarily younger patients with more severe symptoms and higher doses of levodopa.
- The results indicated that starting amantadine led to significant improvements in LIDs and motor fluctuations among new users compared to those who had never used the drug.
Background: Phenotypes of CANVAS are increasingly diversified, including bradykinesia and dysautonomia, so that its primary differential diagnoses are multiple system atrophy-cerebellar type (MSA-c), and spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). This case series aims to highlight key molecular imaging findings in CANVAS.
Cases: We report a case series of six patients with CANVAS who underwent nuclear medicine examinations in our center and 13 patients from the literature.
