[Interdisciplinary Recommendations for the Development of Health Kiosks as Low-Threshold, Community Care Structures.].

In a termsheet released on 31st of August 2022, the Federal Ministry of Health in Germany proclaimed its intention to establish 1,000 health kiosks across the country. The aim of this innovation was to improve and coordinate access to healthcare, especially for people with higher requirements for support and in rural areas. Communes hold the right to initiate the local establishment of health kiosks while being funded mainly by health insurance companies.

Temporal Dynamics of MOG Antibodies in Children With Acquired Demyelinating Syndrome.

Background And Objective: The spectrum of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disorder (MOGAD) comprises monophasic diseases such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), optic neuritis (ON), and transverse myelitis and relapsing courses of these presentations. Persistently high MOG antibodies (MOG immunoglobulin G [IgG]) are found in patients with a relapsing disease course. Prognostic factors to determine the clinical course of children with a first MOGAD are still lacking.

MOG antibody associated demyelinating syndrome presenting as aseptic meningitis in a 6-year-old boy.

We describe the case of a 6-year-old boy who developed myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG-Ab) associated demyelinating syndrome, after initially presenting with aseptic meningitis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed cerebral and spinal lesions consistent with acute disseminating encephalomyelitis. Rapid clinical improvement occurred after intravenous high dose methylprednisolone.

Leukoencephalopathy with calcifications and cysts: a purely neurological disorder distinct from coats plus.

Objective: With the identification of mutations in the conserved telomere maintenance component 1 (CTC1) gene as the cause of Coats plus (CP) disease, it has become evident that leukoencephalopathy with calcifications and cysts (LCC) is a distinct genetic entity.

Patients And Methods: A total of 15 patients with LCC were identified from our database of patients with intracranial calcification. The clinical and radiological features are described.
