Central Nervous System Sarcoidosis: A National-Based registry study.

Background And Aim: Sarcoidosis of the central nervous system (CNS) often presents deleterious effects on affected patients. Data and available literature discussing the diagnosis and treatment of this condition are scarce and inconsistent. In this study, we aim to shed light on demographics, management, diagnostics, and clinical complications of CNS sarcoidosis patients within the United States (US) based on a nation-wide registry questionnaire.

Meningioma is the most common type of primary brain tumor which presents with a variety of neurological manifestations. Surgical resection tends to be the preferred treatment. The occurrence of seizures after resection is common, which occur either early, within seven days of operation, or late.

Diagnostic and therapeutic practices of cardiac sarcoidosis in the United States: a nationwide questionnaire based study.

Background And Aim: Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is the second most common cause of death in patients with sarcoidosis and data pertaining to its diagnosis and management is limited. We sought to describe diagnostic modalities and management of patients with CS in the United States, based on a national registry questionnaire.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study based on a national registry investigating 3,835 respondents to the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research Questionnaire.

Limbic and cortical regions as functional biomarkers associated with emotion regulation in bipolar disorder: A meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies.

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by episodes of depression and mania, associated with impaired emotion processing. Several functional MRI (fMRI) studies have been used to investigate the structural and functional alteration in BD. Here, we aim to investigate the current fMRI findings of brain activation during emotion-regulation tasks between BD patients and healthy controls (HC).
