- * This study aimed to investigate the neurological symptoms associated with acute AD and how frequently they appear in different types categorized under the Stanford classification, analyzing a total of 79 relevant articles from an initial pool of 2,734 records.
- * Findings showed that in patients with Stanford type A AD, 43.8% experienced consciousness impairment, with a notable prevalence of motor syndromes (54.5%) and language issues (7.6%), while those with type
Recent advances in multiple sclerosis (MS) management have shifted perspectives on treatment strategies, advocating for the early initiation of high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies (heDMTs). This perspective review discusses the rationale, benefits, and challenges associated with early heDMT initiation, reflecting on the obsolescence of the traditional "first-line" and "second-line" treatment classifications. The article emerges from the last update of the consensus document of the Spanish Society of Neurology on the treatment of MS.

- Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition with a risk of developing into a more severe form called necrotizing pancreatitis, which is often treated using a step-up approach, including video-assisted retroperitoneal debridement (VARD).
- This study investigates the outcomes of VARD in a single-center facility in Colombia, including demographics, clinical outcomes, and long-term follow-up of patients who underwent the procedure from 2016 to 2024.
- The results showed VARD had a low complication rate and comparable outcomes to previous studies, with most patients recovering without major issues, indicating its effectiveness as a treatment option for necrotizing pancreatitis.
Background: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have to deal with a variable disease trajectory often associated with disability and productivity loss.
Objective: This study aimed to assess illness-related uncertainty and associated correlates in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) beyond the near diagnosis phase.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter, non-interventional study including patients diagnosed with RRMS (2017 revised McDonald criteria) and a disease duration of 3 to 8 years.
Congenital portosystemic shunts are rare abnormalities in which blood flow from the liver is diverted to the systemic circulation. We would like to present the case of a 48-year-old male, during his neurological follow-up he was diagnosed with a congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. Embolization of the portosystemic communicating veins was attempted on two occasions, but without success.
