Article Synopsis
- BDNF and Stroke Relationship:
- The study explores the link between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and acute stroke severity, finding that lower BDNF levels correlate with worsened stroke severity as measured by the NIHSS.
- Study Findings:
- Out of 3088 initial records, 26 studies were analyzed, revealing a significant negative correlation between BDNF levels and NIHSS scores right after a stroke; stroke patients had notably lower BDNF levels than healthy controls.
- Conclusions and Limitations:
- While low BDNF levels are associated with increased stroke severity, no correlation was found between BDNF and stroke infarct volume or long-term functional outcomes, suggesting the need
Introduction: Intracerebral haemorrhage in patients suffering from cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is relatively uncommon. CVT typically occurs in hypercoagulable state of various causes. Some drugs play a causative role in CVT and thrombopoietin receptor agonists are among them.

In most cases, well-characterized onconeural antibodies are detected, such as anti-Yo and anti-Ri antibodies. Carbonic anhydrase-related protein VIII (CARP VIII) antibodies associated with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration have been previously described in only two cases.

Sporadic Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (sCJD) is the most common human prion disorder accounting for 85-90 % of cases. Clinical manifestations include rapidly evolving dementia in conjunction with neurological symptoms such as ataxia, myoclonus, pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs.
