Background And Objectives: A variety of neurologic disorders have been reported as presentations or complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. The objective of this study was to determine their incidence dynamics and long-term functional outcome.
Methods: The Neuro-COVID Italy study was a multicenter, observational, cohort study with ambispective recruitment and prospective follow-up.
Importance: Juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare form of ALS characterized by age of symptom onset less than 25 years and a variable presentation.
Objective: To identify the genetic variants associated with juvenile ALS.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this multicenter family-based genetic study, trio whole-exome sequencing was performed to identify the disease-associated gene in a case series of unrelated patients diagnosed with juvenile ALS and severe growth retardation.
Background And Purpose: The embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) represents a heterogeneous clinical entity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether distinct clinical phenotypes may be identified in the ESUS population.
Methods: We retrospectively identified consecutive patients hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke who met the ESUS diagnostic criteria.
Background: The inflammatory response plays a role in determining the course of intra-cerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and immune parameters may have prognostic value. The aim of the study was to determine whether the peripheral leukocyte counts and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were associated to 30-day functional status after ICH, and improved the accuracy of outcome prediction when added to the Modified ICH score.
Methods: We retrospectively identified consecutive patients with spontaneous ICH who underwent blood sampling and cranial CT neuroimaging within 24 h from onset.
