Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates neurological complications in lung transplant recipients (344 patients) over a nine-year period, highlighting a significant rate (32.6%) of neuroimaging abnormalities post-transplant.
- - Most neurological issues occurred around 4.9 months after lung transplantation, with encephalopathy, critical illness polyneuropathy, and stroke being the most common complications observed.
- - MRI proved more effective than CT in detecting brain abnormalities associated with encephalopathy and seizures, suggesting the need for careful monitoring of lung transplant recipients, especially in the early recovery phase.
Background: Although the incidence of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) can be 1.20 cases/1000 inhabitants/year in individuals ≥ 70 years old, in most series, the incidence of shunt-responsive iNPH appears to be <1/100,000 inhabitants/year. We report the results of a prospective 10-year longitudinal study of the incidence of iNPH in a northern Spanish population.

The neuregulin 1 gene (NRG1), influencing neurodevelopment and neuroplasticity, has been associated with schizophrenia. Our aim was to examine whether variations in the NRG1 gene (SNP8NRG221132, SNP8NRG6221533 and SNP8NRG243177 polymorphisms) influence longitudinal changes in the brain during a first episode of psychosis (FEP).

Although the most common presentation is occipital headache, the association of audio-vestibular symptoms is not rare. The aim of our study was to describe audio-vestibular signs and symptoms in Chiari malformation type i (CM-I).
