The detection by biomarkers of the pathophysiological and molecular processes involved in misfolding protein diseases making it possible to delineate the natural history of these processes. The great majority of protein misfolding diseases have a prolonged preclinical phase, in which the biological changes are patent. The clinical manifestations (i.

[Descriptive study of the alterations in neuroimaging tests in patients with headache in an outpatient setting].

Introduction: Available studies provide limited guidance on the use of neuroimaging in patients with headache in the outpatient setting. The aim of this study was to describe and analyse the frequency and the percentage of neuroimaging abnormalities in patients evaluated for headache in a neurology clinic, as well as to determine which red flags are most commonly associated with these abnormalities.

Patients And Methods: We conducted an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study of a series of patients with headache from the neurology department of the Hospital Universitario de Mostoles who underwent a neuroimaging test.

Rheumatoid meningitis in a patient with overlap syndrome: The usefulness of anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies determination in CSF.

Rheumatoid meningitis (RM) is a rare complication of rheumatoid arthritis that can manifest as stroke-like episodes. We present the case of a 63-year-old woman with a past history of overlap syndrome and clinical manifestations suggestive of amyopathic dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. She presented to the emergency department with sudden onset right-sided clumsiness and numbness, as well as a 2-week history of left hemicranial headache.
