Objective: Seizures in COVID-19 patients continue to be a common reason for consulting the neurology service in the inpatient setting. This paper assesses the frequency of new onset seizures in adult hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Method: PubMed and EMBASE were searched, with fifteen cohort studies identified to calculate the primary outcome, which was the frequency of new onset seizures in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Background And Objectives: The purpose of this guideline is to update the 2010 American Academy of Neurology (AAN) brain death/death by neurologic criteria (BD/DNC) guideline for adults and the 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics, Child Neurology Society, and Society of Critical Care Medicine guideline for infants and children and to clarify the BD/DNC determination process by integrating guidance for adults and children into a single guideline. Updates in this guideline include guidance related to conducting the BD/DNC evaluation in the context of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, targeted temperature management, and primary infratentorial injury.
Methods: A panel of experts from multiple medical societies developed BD/DNC recommendations.
Background: Lowering of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients with low diastolic blood pressure (DBP), can further lower DBP. This can potentially decrease cerebral perfusion and cognition. We examined the influence of baseline DBP on the effect of lowering SBP on cognition.

Methods: The development of this practice advisory followed the process outlined in the American Academy of Neurology as amended. The systematic review included studies through November 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to update the 2011 AAN guideline on treating painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN), focusing on both topical and oral medications.
- The authors conducted a systematic review of literature from January 2008 to April 2020 to develop new practice recommendations.
- The results highlighted that TCAs showed a large effect size for pain relief, while SNRIs and gabapentinoids also demonstrated significant effectiveness, but opioids are not recommended for treating PDN.
