Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease in the New Era of Monoclonal Antibodies Against Cerebral Amyloid-β: Pharmacological Prescription and Knowledge in Argentina.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents a significant global health challenge. Understanding the current and upcoming treatment landscape is crucial for effectively managing patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of prescription and knowledge about new therapies by physicians who treat AD patients in Argentina.

Triphasic waves and brain atrophy in patients with acute encephalopathy.

Introduction: Triphasic waves (TW) constitute an electroencephalographic pattern associated with certain kinds of encephalopathy. Brain atrophy may be a predisposing factor linked with TW.

Objective: To compare the degree of brain atrophy and white matter disease between patients with acute encephalopathy with and without TW.

Discharges With Triphasic Morphology as Marker of the Risk of Death in Acute Encephalopathy.

. In clinical practice, it is difficult to define the prognosis of patients with acute encephalopathy; a syndrome characterized by cognitive dysfunction and altered sensorium. Discharges with triphasic morphology (DTM) are an electroencephalographic pattern that might be useful to establish the risk of death.

Moaning Phenomenon and Rapidly Progressive Dementia in Anti LGI-1 Associated Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Syndrome.

Background: Immunological causes of atypical parkinsonisms linked to neuronal specific antibodies have been recently reported. As these are potentially treatable disorders, it is desirable to identify which clinical features may suggest an autoimmune etiology.

Case Report: A 60-year-old-man with progressive supranuclear palsy associated with anti-LGI-1 antibodies presented with rapidly progressive dementia and moaning.

Cytomegalovirus-related transverse myelitis in an immunocompetent host: a subacute onset of an immune-mediated disease?

We report a case of transverse myelitis in an immunocompetent host with an atypical long onset of symptoms. A 56-year-old man was admitted to the hospital reporting 5 months of progressive ascending lower extremity weakness and numbness, inability to walk, bowel incontinence,urinary retention and several episodes of nausea and vomiting. MRI showed moderate spinal swelling and multiple hyperintense signal changes on cervical levels C2-C5 and thoracic levels T1-T3.
