A survey of child neurologists about reproductive healthcare for adolescent women with epilepsy.

Objective: To evaluate child neurologists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care for adolescent and young adult women with epilepsy (WWE).

Methods: Child neurologists (including attending physicians, residents, fellows, and advanced practitioners) completed an online survey distributed through subspecialty listservs. We analyzed results using descriptive statistics, chi-square, and logistic regression.

Carnitine Responsive Migraine Headache Syndrome: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Purpose Of Review: To review carnitine's role in migraine and headache, present a case of a patient with intractable chronic migraine refractory to medications but exquisitely responsive to mitochondrial cofactors with a particularly prompt response to L-carnitine supplementation with dose response, and suggest scenarios where L-carnitine could be considered for prophylactic treatment in migraine and intractable headache with migraine features.

Recent Findings: Multiple treatments modalities are used to treat migraine, including nutraceutical therapies. Mitochondrial supplements are often used to treat migraine, based on controlled trials.

A mechanistic review on GNAO1-associated movement disorder.

Mutations in the GNAO1 gene cause a complex constellation of neurological disorders including epilepsy, developmental delay, and movement disorders. GNAO1 encodes Gα, the α subunit of G, a member of the G family of heterotrimeric G protein signal transducers. G is the most abundant membrane protein in the mammalian central nervous system and plays major roles in synaptic neurotransmission and neurodevelopment.

Cerebellar mutism and reversible cytotoxic edema in influenza B-associated encephalopathy.

Background: Influenza virus-associated neurological complications are rare, though well-documented, especially in children. Encephalopathy and seizures are the most common complications and are typically associated with influenza A infection. Cerebellar mutism has been rarely reported in association with influenza B infection.
