Voice Analysis in Patients with Essential Tremor.

Objective: The objective of this study was to reveal the phonetic characteristics of patients with or without voice tremor in patients with essential tremor (ET), determine whether these phonetic features are ET specific, and test the influence of ET on vocal tremor.

Methods: The study included a total of 30 patients with ET and 29 healthy volunteers. The severity of ET was evaluated using the Washington Heights Inwood Genetic Study of Essential Tremor (WHIGET) tremor rating scale.

Clinical experience: Outcomes of mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in five stroke patients.

Stem cell therapy, which has promising results in acute disorders such as stroke, supports treatment by providing rehabilitation in the chronic stage patients. In acute stroke, thrombolytic medical treatment protocols are clearly defined in neurologic emergencies, but in neurologic patients who miss the "thrombolytic treatment intervention window," or in cases of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, our hands are tied, and we are still unfortunately faced with hopeless clinical implementations. We consider mesenchymal stem cell therapy a viable option in these cases.

Analysis of YouTube videos as a source of information for reliability and effectiveness of cannabidiol oil in treatment of epilepsy.

Objective: Cannabidiol (CBD) oil has been used for the treatment of refractory epilepsy for a long time. In this study, we aimed to investigate the quality and reliability of YouTube videos pertaining to the use of CBD oil in the treatment of epilepsy.

Methods: A total of 100 videos were reviewed.

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Related Inflammation Presenting as Steroid Responsive Brain Mass.

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a common but often asymptomatic disease, characterized by the deposition of amyloid proteins within brain parenchyma and leptomeningeal-cortical vessels. It can occur as a sporadic disorder or accompany Alzheimer disease (AD). The usual presentation of CAA is spontaneous lobar hemorrhage, Unlike CAA, cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri), a subtype of CAA, can show various presentations and responds to steroid (or immuno suppressive) treatment.
