[Experience with 4 clinical cases. Traumatic encephalopathy may be associated with a single traumatic brain injury?].

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects people who had repetitive head trauma. Also, in single traumatic brain injury (TBI), changes may be found during the follow-up visits. We present four clinical cases of patients visited at the Institut Guttmann clinic between 2017 and 2019.

[Spasticity in neurological pathologies. An update on the pathophysiological mechanisms, advances in diagnosis and treatment].

Introduction: Spasticity is a frequent clinical sign in people with neurological diseases that affects mobility and causes serious complications: pain, joint limitation, muscular contractions and bed sores, which have a significant effect on the individual's functionality and quality of life.

Aim: To review the integration, description and critical interpretation of the most recent scientific evidence on the clinical variability of spasticity and associated symptoms, the different pathophysiological mechanisms and their relevance in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach.

Development: A search was conducted in the scientific publications on the different aspects of spasticity grouped into two main categories: cerebral and spinal cord pathologies.

[Headache and immigration. A study in the outpatient department of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona].

Introduction: The immigrant population (IP) is visiting neurology departments on an increasingly more frequent basis. Research has still not made it clear whether there are geographical differences in the prevalence of primary headaches and the possible influence of emigration.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective (12 months) and prospective study (18 months) of the first visits to the Headache Unit at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau.

[Intracerebral hemorrhage in anticoagulated patients: what do we do afterwards?].

Introduction: The management of antithrombotic therapy after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in anticoagulated patients is not well defined. We analyzed the risks and benefits of antiplatelet therapy (AG) against the resumption of anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (AVK) in a series of patients.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of ICH in anticoagulated patients.
