"Clinical Profile of Genetically Proven Huntington's Disease Patients from Eastern India".

Background And Aims: To study the clinical profile of genetically proven Huntington's disease (HD) patients from eastern India.

Methods: This cross sectional study selected patients of HD after genetic confirmation of expanded CAG repeats in Huntingtin () gene. We performed detail clinical evaluation including cognitive and neuropsychological assessment, and imaging of brain.

Genetic and Clinical Profile of Patients of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Experience from a Tertiary Care Center in Eastern India.

Objective: To study the genetic pattern, clinical profile and to find any correlation between them in patients of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Methods: Patients were selected from Neurogenetic clinic on the basis of clinical features, elevated serum CPK level and electromyographic features. After history and clinical examination, molecular genetic testing was performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.

Neuropsychiatric profiles in patients with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.

Background/aims: The aim of the following study is to compare the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in patients of Alzheimer disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD).

Materials And Methods: We used National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke-Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association criteria for diagnosing AD and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke-Association International pour la Recherche et l'Enseignement en Neurosciences Criteria for diagnosing VaD. VaD cohort was further subcategorized into small vessel and large vessel disease.

Clinical features, MRI brain, and MRS abnormalities of drug-naïve neurologic Wilson's disease.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) helps in the diagnosis of neurologic Wilson's disease (WD). The literature regarding MR spectroscopy (MRS) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in WD is limited.

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical features and neuroimaging findings in drug-naïve neurologic WD and to find correlation between clinical stage and disease duration with different imaging findings.

Case series of probable sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease from Eastern India.

Background: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rapidly progressive, fatal, transmissible neurodegenerative disorder caused by prion protein. It is still considered rare in countries like India. This is probably due to nonavailability of autopsy studies in majority of the center.
