Objectives: Literature on invasive neuromonitoring and bilateral decompressive craniectomies (BDC) in patients with refractory status epilepticus (RSE)-mediated hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) is limited. Neuromonitoring can guide decision making and treatment escalation.
Methods And Results: We report a case of a 17 years-old male who was admitted to our hospital's intensive care unit for RSE.
Background: Hospice care was initially designed for seriously ill individuals with cancer. Thus, the model and clinicians were geared toward caring for this population. Despite the proportion of persons living with dementia (PLWD) receiving hospice care substantially increased over the past 10 years, and their longer lengths of stay, established hospice interventions for this population are scarce.

RBD is less common in tauopathies, and the studies to evaluate its association with polyglutamine diseases have been very few.
Objective: To revisit our knowledge on the significance of RBD in the emergence of NDDs and to review the recent updates in the potential biomarkers, which can help predict the risk of phenconversion into NDDs in idiopathic RBD (iRBD) patients.
Article Synopsis
- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) that targets motor symptoms more effectively than medications, although its effects on cognition remain unclear.
- A systematic review examined 13 studies on PD patients since 2008, finding that while DBS negatively impacted verbal fluency and attention, other cognitive functions remained stable.
- Despite these cognitive declines being significant, they did not greatly affect the overall quality of life, highlighting the need for more long-term research on cognition in DBS patients.
Zika virus (ZIKV) has created major outbreaks all over the Americas and has caused severe neurological complications. The main neurological complications linked to ZIKV are Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), encephalitis, myelitis, and microcephaly. We thoroughly searched for published literature on PubMed and found evidence supporting the relationship between ZIKV and GBS.
