Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated the prevalence of clinical signs associated with functional neurological disorders (FNDs) in patients with probable functional dissociative seizures (FDS) compared to those with epilepsy.
- - Results showed that 79% of the FDS patients exhibited at least one sign of FND, significantly higher than the 16.6% found in epileptic patients, with many FDS patients showing multiple signs.
- - The findings highlight the importance of recognizing FND signs during neurologic examinations for better differentiation between FDS and epileptic seizures.
Article Synopsis
- Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is effective for treating dystonia in Parkinson's Disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (AP), though research on its comparative efficiency in these conditions is limited.
- A study analyzed 611 BoNT injections across 63 patients, finding average improvement scores of 69% for PD and 55% for AP, with effects lasting longer in PD.
- Demographic factors didn't significantly influence treatment outcomes, indicating BoNT's general efficacy for dystonia in parkinsonian syndromes, but suggesting shorter intervals between injections might be needed for AP patients.
Background: A dysregulated immune response is emerging as a key feature of critical illness in COVID-19. Neutrophils are key components of early innate immunity that, if not tightly regulated, contribute to uncontrolled systemic inflammation. We sought to decipher the role of neutrophil phenotypes, functions, and homeostasis in COVID-19 disease severity and outcome.
