Background: Diabetic Striatopathy (DS) is a rare complication of a poor-controlled Diabetes Mellitus consisting of sudden onset of movement disorders. To date, there is still poor knowledge about the pathogenesis.
Case: We describe a 79 year old men affected by sudden onset hemichoreic movements whose cause was a non-ketotic hyperglycaemia diagnosed despite the normal blood glucose levels thanks to brain CT and magnetic resonance imaging.
Objective: Nearly half of people with epilepsy (PWE) are expected to develop seizure clusters (SC), with the subsequent risk of hospitalization. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use, effectiveness and safety of intravenous (IV) brivaracetam (BRV) in the treatment of SC.
Methods: Retrospective multicentric study of patients with SC (≥ 2 seizures/24 h) who received IV BRV.
Background And Aim: Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) used in multiple sclerosis (MS) have distinct safety profiles. In this paper, we report preliminary results of an on-going pharmacovigilance project (the FASM study).
Results: Neurologists working at involved multiple sclerosis centers collected 272 Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs).

- A variety of hemostatic agents are available to help control bleeding during surgeries when traditional methods fail, with some actively forming clots and others requiring a functioning coagulation system.
- A systematic review of literature from 2000 to 2016 was conducted, evaluating 66 articles to recommend the best hemostatic agents based on clinical situations and patient conditions.
- Results indicate that fibrin adhesives are beneficial for patients with coagulation disorders, mechanical hemostats are preferable for those with intact coagulation, and hemostatic dressings are valuable for controlling external bleeding, highlighting the need for surgeons to understand each agent’s specific use.
