MR Imaging Findings in Anti-Leucine-Rich Glioma Inactivated Protein 1 Encephalitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Antibodies against leucine-rich glioma inactivated protein 1 (LGI1) constitute a common form of autoimmune encephalitis. On MR imaging, it may show T2 FLAIR hyperintensities of the medial temporal lobe (T2 FLAIR-MTL), involve the basal ganglia, or be unremarkable.

Purpose: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to obtain prevalence estimates of abnormal findings on MR imaging in anti-LGI1 encephalitis.

Exploring the use of ChatGPT in predicting anterior circulation stroke functional outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy: a pilot study.

Background: Accurate prediction of functional outcomes is crucial in stroke management, but this remains challenging.

Objective: To evaluate the performance of the generative language model ChatGPT in predicting the functional outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) 3 months after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in order to assess whether ChatGPT can used to be accurately predict the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months post-thrombectomy.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical, neuroimaging, and procedure-related data from 163 patients with AIS undergoing MT.

Successful Treatment of a Child With Epileptic Encephalopathy With Spike-Wave Activation in Sleep and GRIN2A Variant Using Sulthiame.

Epileptic encephalopathy with spike-wave activation in sleep (EE-SWAS) and developmental EE-SWAS (DEE-SWAS) are characterized by variable combinations of cognitive, language, behavioral, and/or motor regression associated with continuous or near-continuous diffuse spike-and-wave complexes during sleep. Glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2A () variants have been associated with EE-SWAS. It encodes the most relevant GluN2 subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR).

Persistent headache attributed to past cervicocephalic artery dissection: clinical characteristics and contributors to headache persistence.

Background: Persistent headache/facial/neck pain attributed to past cervicocephalic arterial dissection is under-documented in literature. Our main goal was to evaluate clinical characteristics and contributors to this persistence.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study which included patients with a radiologically confirmed cervicocephalic arterial dissection (2015-2020) in a Portuguese tertiary hospital.

Pituitary Adenoma "Pneumo-Apoplexy".

Tension pneumosella has been recognized as a very rare complication of pituitary transsphenoidal surgery. To the best of our knowledge, we report the second case of a pituitary adenoma "pneumo-apoplexy", which is characterized by findings consistent with tension pneumosella in the context of apoplexy of a pituitary adenoma; although it is an extremely rare diagnosis, it should be considered in patients with compatible clinical and radiological findings, particularly with a previous history of transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.

The Future of Telemedicine in the Management of Heart Failure Patients.

Telemedicine (TM) is potentially a way of escalating heart failure (HF) multidisciplinary integrated care. Despite the initial efforts to implement TM in HF management, we are still at an early stage of its implementation. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic led to an increased utilisation of TM.

Contralateral Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis in a Patient with Relapsed Breast Cancer: Locoregional Event or Distant Metastasis Disease?

Introduction: Contralateral axillary lymph node metastasis (CAM) is a rare clinical condition in patients with breast cancer. It can be explained from hematogenous spread from the original primary tumor (stage IV) to aberrant regional lymphatic drainage to the contralateral axilla. However, according to the current clinical guidelines, regardless of its origin, CAM is considered as metastatic disease.
