Selecting a Brief Cognitive Screening Test Based on Patient Profile: It Is Never Too Early to Start.

: Cognitive impairment, marked by a decline in memory and attention, is frequently underdiagnosed, complicating effective management. Cardiovascular risk factors (CVR) and anticholinergic burden (ACB) are significant contributors to dementia risk, with ACB often stemming from medications prescribed for neuropsychiatric disorders. This study evaluates cognitive profiles through three brief cognitive tests, analyzing the impact of CVR and ACB presence.

[Adult-onset primary focal foot dystonia].

Introduction: Adult-onset primary focal foot dystonia is a rare event. Up to now, only 7 cases have been reported in the literature. Since the idiopathic-type food dystonia is uncommon in adults, secondary types must be ruled out.

[Cerebellar degeneration associated with anti-Tr antibodies without Hodgkin's disease. Four years follow-up].

The presence of antineuronal anti-Tr antibodies is associated to paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration due to Hodgkin's disease. The anti-Tr can become negative after successful and early treatment of the tumor, and there could even be remission of the cerebellar symptoms in some patients. There are few cases in which no tumor is found when there are anti-Tr.

Migraine treatment patterns and patient satisfaction with prior therapy: a substudy of a multicenter trial of rizatriptan effectiveness.

Background: Migraine is a common, chronic, often disabling neurologic condition that is underdiagnosed and undertreated.

Objective: We undertook this questionnaire-based study as a substudy of a multicenter trial of rizatriptan effectiveness. Our goal was to assess the history of acute migraine medication use and the relationship between different migraine medication regimens and patient satisfaction with prior therapy.

[Alien hand syndrome in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease].

Alien hand syndrome is defined by uncontrolable actions of the arm and hand that seem to have a purpose. It is usually associated with acute focal lesions after a stroke or surgery of the corpus callosum. It has been described in chronic dementiating diseases such as cortico-basal degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, orthochromatic leukodystrophy and Marchiafava-Bignami disease.

[Spinal cord ischemia as a consequence of dissection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm].

Introduction: Ischemic spinal cord infarct is the most frequent vascular lesion, but although aortic aneurysms are a possible cause, it is unusual for such cases to be seen. Clinical case. We present a case of spinal ischemia as the first sign of the dissection of an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta.
