Autoimmune Encephalitis and Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes: A Nationwide Study on Epidemiology and Antibody Testing Performance.

Background And Objectives: Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) and paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNSs) encompass a heterogeneous group of antibody-associated disorders. Both the number of syndromes and commercially available antibody tests have increased considerably over the past decade. High-quality population-based data on epidemiology of these disorders and real-world performance of antibody tests are needed.

Glial cell response and microthrombosis in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients: An autopsy study.

Neuroinflammation and microthrombosis may be underlying mechanisms of brain injury after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), but they have not been studied in relation to each other. In postmortem brain tissue, we investigated neuroinflammation by studying the microglial and astrocyte response in the frontal cortex of 11 aSAH and 10 control patients. In a second study, we investigated the correlation between microthrombosis and microglia by studying the microglial surface area around vessels with and without microthrombosis in the frontal cortex and hippocampus of 8 other aSAH patients.

The diagnostic value of skin biopsies in Sneddon syndrome.

Background: Sneddon syndrome (SS) is defined by widespread livedo reticularis (LR) and stroke. There is no single diagnostic test for SS and diagnosis can be solely based on clinical features. This cross-sectional case-control study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of skin biopsies in SS patients.

Sneddon syndrome: a comprehensive clinical review of 53 patients.

Background: The presence of livedo reticularis in patients with ischaemic stroke is associated with Sneddon syndrome (SS). Our objective was to present the clinical features of SS patients and to assess the role of antiphospholipid antibodies (APL).

Methods: Consecutive patients, diagnosed with SS between 1996 and 2017, were retrospectively reviewed for their demographic, neurological, dermatological, cardiac and extracerebral vascular features.
