Article Synopsis
  • Motor symptom laterality in Parkinson's Disease (PD) impacts both motor and nonmotor symptoms, potentially altering patient prognosis, with compensatory mechanisms in the brain's dominant hemisphere playing a key role.
  • This study investigated the microstructural changes in the corpus callosum (CC), the brain's main connector between hemispheres, in 201 right-handed PD patients (split between left- and right-onset) compared to 100 healthy controls using advanced imaging techniques.
  • Findings revealed reduced free water and fractional anisotropy, along with increased mean diffusivity in the CC of patients with left-side PD onset, highlighting the relationship between brain structure and disease symptoms.

A 79-year old Caucasian male with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer and bilateral nephrostomy was admitted to the emergency department due to 4-day bloody urethral discharge, weakness and dizziness. The patient was treated with the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone-antagonist and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone, dabigatran 150 mg bid (for atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease) and 5-aminosalicylic acid for the management of mild ulcerative colitis. Imaging revealed bladder overdistention and blood analysis low levels of hematocrit (HCT) and hemoglobin (HGB) (HCT, 22%; HGB, 7.

Childhood-onset focal epilepsy and acute para-infectious encephalopathy in a patient with biallelic QARS1 variants.

Neurol Sci

December 2024

Neurophysiopathology Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Milan, Italy.

Introduction: Biallelic variants in QARS1, a house-keeping gene involved in protein synthesis, cause a rare encephalopathy classically characterized by severe developmental delay, drug-resistant neonatal-onset epilepsy, microcephaly, and brain atrophy. We aim to raise awareness on mild QARS1-related phenotypes describing a 6-year-old patient.

Case Description: Epilepsy onset occurred at 3.
