Prognostic Factors For Functional Outcome in Patients with Mesencephalic Hemorrhage.

Introduction: Mesencephalic hemorrhage (MH) is a rare presentation of spontaneous intraparenchymal hemorrhage. This study aims to evaluate prognostic parameters of the MH outcome.

Methods: We conducted an extensive search in the literature for cases with spontaneous, isolated mesencephalic hemorrhage.

Cognitive and Behavioral Disorders in Patients with Precuneal Infarcts.

Objective: Ischemic stroke of the precuneal cortex (PC) alone is extremely rare. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical, neurocognitive, and behavioral characteristics of isolated PC infarcts.

Methods: We assessed neuropsychological and behavioral findings in 12 patients with isolated PC infarct among 3,800 patients with ischemic stroke.

Predictors of Outcome in Patients with Medullary Hemorrhage.

Background: Isolated medullary hemorrhage (MH) is an uncommon presentation of spontaneous intraparenchymal hemorrhage. The relationship between MH and neurological outcome is not well known. This study aims to assess predictive parameters for the outcome of medullary hemorrhage.

Associations Between Neuroanatomic Patterns of Cerebral Infarctions and Vascular Dementia.

Objective: A history of multiple cerebral infarctions is generally regarded as an important risk factor for vascular dementia. The authors examined the risk of vascular dementia in patients with multiple acute ischemic lesions.

Methods: The authors conducted a hospital-based prospective study of 11,200 patients with first-time stroke who underwent 1.

Cingulate infarction: A neuropsychological and neuroimaging study.

Background And Purpose: Ischemic lesions rarely affect the cingulate cortex (CC) in isolation, restricting human lesion/behavioural change correlational analysis. The aim of this study was to determine clinical, neuropsychological and neuroimaging features of isolated cingulate infarcts.

Methods: We studied, 3800 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke included in our Stroke Registry between 2012 and 2018.

Testing Shoulder Pain Mapping.

Objective: A previous study on shoulder pain mapping showed specific pain patterns for common shoulder disorders. This study aimed to test those patterns for accuracy, modify shoulder pain mapping as needed, and observe their reliability and validity.

Methods: This prospective study used a two-step process and was undertaken to determine its potential utility in daily practice.

Myoclonic status epilepticus in six patients without epilepsy.

Myoclonic status epilepticus (MSE) is defined as prolonged period of myoclonic jerks that are correlated with epileptiform discharges on EEG. We here describe clinical features and video-EEG records of six adult patients with MSE who did not have a prior diagnosis of epilepsy. In four out of six patients, MSE was precipitated by drugs.
