Department of Internal Medicine, Addiction Unit, Verona University Hospital, Verona, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Cytisine, an alkaloid similar to nicotine, is used for smoking cessation but can cause side effects like nausea and fatigue.
- A case study details a 64-year-old woman who mistakenly took double the recommended dose of cytisine for 8 days but did not experience any negative reactions.
- This case suggests that cytisine may be safe for use at high doses in individuals trying to quit smoking.

August 2024
Department of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, NO. 79 Qingchun Road, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 310003, PR China. Electronic address:
Background: Thinning of retinal thickness seen on optical coherence tomography (OCT) is frequent in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). We explored the association between OCT metrics, MRI measurements and clinical outcomes in NMOSD.
Methods: 44 NMOSD and 60 controls underwent OCT and MR imaging.

Here, we report the case of a hypoglossal schwannoma in a 15-year-old male who experienced tongue paresthesia and fasciculations and difficulty swallowing two years before hospital admission.

May 2024
Department of Neurology, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine.
Neuromuscular ultrasound has become an integral part of the diagnostic workup of neuromuscular diseases in neurology. Neuromuscular ultrasound can detect nerve enlargement, selective muscle damage, and fasciculation easily and non-invasively, which allows differentiation between auto-immune/inflammatory and degenerative/hereditary diseases. It is significant and essential for all neurologists to master the neuromuscular ultrasound technique.
