Guillain Barre syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an acute demyelinisation in the peripheral nervous system. It is an extremely rare situation during pregnancy. There are at present no recommendations concerning the mode of delivery and the anesthetic management. We report a case of Guillain Barre Syndrome at the 38 th week gestation proposed for cesarean section.

Background: Therapeutic apheresis (TA) are promising treatment option for neuroimmunological disorders. In paediatrics, the available data is limited, particularly for the use of IA. The aim of this study was to analyse the use of PE and IA in children and adolescents, with emphasis on outcome and neurological course after treatment as well as the safety of the two modalities.

Kaempferol (Kae) is a flavonoid that has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. In recent years, there have been increasing reports on viral infection-induced Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) with high rates of disability and fatality. Therefore, in order to search for effective peripheral nerve injury repair drugs, we used rats with experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) as the typical animal model for GBS, and implemented Kae treatment intervention on EAN rats.

Introduction/aims: Electrophysiological investigations in early Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) can be nondiagnostic. Improved testing for facial weakness in the early phase of GBS may improve diagnostic processes, as such weakness is found in approximately 50% of patients with GBS. This work pilots the utility of high-speed video analysis to complement blink reflex testing in early GBS.

Purpose: This study aimed to present clinical and immunological features in patients with neuroimmune complications of COVID-19 during Omicron wave in China.
Methods: Patients with neuroimmune complications associated with COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed in Huashan Hospital from December 2022 to April 2023, during the widespread prevalence of Omicron variants in China. Demographic information, symptoms, electrophysiological findings, cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) test results and immunological markers, Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) characteristics, treatment strategies and outcomes of these patients were reviewed and analyzed.
Overlap of Miller-Fisher Syndrome and Pharyngeal-Cervical-Brachial Variant Secondary to COVID-19 in Recurrent Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Case Report.

Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) is characterized by the three major components of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. The occurrence of MFS is relatively uncommon because of its monophasic nature, while recurrent Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a well-known condition. The pharyngeal-cervical-brachial (PCB) variant is a scarce variant of GBS (3%), which presents with muscle weakness initially involving the neck, oropharynx, and upper extremities.
