Study Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of neck myoclonus (NM) on sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in patients with narcolepsy (NT) and to further explore possible underlying mechanisms.

Methods: We included 72 patients with narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), 34 patients with narcolepsy type 2 (NT2) and 33 healthy controls. Patients underwent questionnaires, lumbar puncture procedure, polysomnography, and multiple sleep latency test (MSLT).

Background: To investigate the peripheral nervous system involvement in  sialidosis with typical features of myoclonus, seizure, and giant waves in somatosensory evoked potentials suggesting hyperexcitability in the central nervous system.

Methods: The clinical presentation of patients with genetically confirmed sialidosis was recorded. Neurophysiological studies, including nerve conduction studies (NCSs), F-wave studies, and needle electromyography (EMG), were performed on these patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to outline a complete picture of Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (JHR) in the central nervous system among HIV-negative neurosyphilis patients.

Methods: A prospective study cohort of 772 cases with almost all stages of neurosyphilis depicted the features of JHR including occurrence rate, risk profiles, clinical manifestations, medical management and prognosis.

Results: The total occurrence rate of JHR was 9.
