Objective: We describe neurologic phenotype, clinical associations, and outcomes in autoimmune brainstem encephalitis.
Methods: Medical records of neural-IgG positive autoimmune brainstem encephalitis patients diagnosed at Mayo Clinic (January 1, 2006-December 31, 2022) were reviewed.
Results: Ninety-eight patients (57 male) were included.
Background: In light of impending physiotherapy workforce shortages in Australia and updates to career progression pathways for physiotherapists internationally, it is important to understand the beliefs and considerations that underpin decisions to pursue career development opportunities from the perspective of physiotherapists.
Purpose: To investigate physiotherapists' beliefs, motivations and perceived barriers toward career development opportunities, and explore influences which impact the decisions regarding whether and how to undertake career development in physiotherapy.
Methods: Qualitative study using one-on-one semi-structured interviews.
Objective: To describe the phenotypes, oncological associations, biomarker profiles, and outcomes across different age groups in patients with ANNA1 (anti-Hu) autoimmunity.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients with ANNA1-IgG in serum/CSF between January 1, 2001, and December 31,2019 was performed. Patients were classified into three groups based on the age of symptom onset.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of dried blood spot (DBS) compared with conventional serum Aquaporin-4-IgG (AQP4-IgG) testing.
Methods: Prospective multicenter diagnostic study was conducted between April 2018 and October 2023 across medical centers in the United States, Uganda, and the Republic of Guinea. Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) patients and controls collected blood on filter paper cards along with concurrent serum samples.
Article Synopsis
- * Methods: Researchers conducted a retrospective review of 45 adult patients seen between 2006 and 2020, all following specific diagnostic criteria and monitored for at least a year, examining various clinical and diagnostic factors.
- * Results: Most patients had significant disabilities at the start, but a high percentage showed improvement with treatment; however, many experienced lingering memory issues and other cognitive challenges, indicating varying degrees of long-term impact despite initial recovery efforts.
