Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of closing a patent foramen ovale (PFO) after a cryptogenic stroke, comparing those who had it done within 9 months (early closure) to those who had it done after 9 months (delayed closure).
- The research found no significant differences in recurrence rates of cerebrovascular events or systemic embolisms between the early and delayed closure groups, indicating similar outcomes regardless of when the procedure was performed.
- The results suggest that PFO closure might be beneficial even in patients with a cryptogenic event that occurred more than 9 months ago, challenging the notion that the timing of the closure is critical.
This exploratory study evaluated the presence of sensitization-associated and neuropathic-like symptoms and identified their association with pressure sensitivity, pain, and disability in patients with cervical dystonia (CD). Thirty-one patients with CD (74.2% women, age: 61.

The use of a four-tract probabilistic tractography technique, targeting the intersection between the dentato-rubro-thalamic tracts (both decussating and non-decussating), while evaluating the corticospinal tract and the medial lemniscus, may obtain immediate clinical results with reduced adverse events. Our aim is to present our experience with the four-tract technique for patients undergoing ET treatment with MRgFUS.
