Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated immune checkpoint inhibitor-related encephalitis (ICI-encephalitis) to better understand its characteristics, identify diagnostic biomarkers, and explore factors predicting patient outcomes.* -
  • It analyzed data from 67 patients (median age 69 years) diagnosed between 2015-2023, finding that 64% had focal syndromes (like limbic encephalitis) while 36% had meningoencephalitis, with the former showing worse treatment responses and higher mortality rates.* -
  • The presence of PNS-related antibodies and abnormal MRI findings were more common in focal encephalitis cases, highlighting important distinctions that could guide future diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.*

The relationship between neuroinflammation and cognition remains uncertain in early Alzheimer's disease (AD). We performed a cross-sectional study to assess how neuroinflammation is related to cognition using TSPO PET imaging and a multi-domain neuropsychological assessment. A standard uptake value ratio (SUVR) analysis was performed to measure [F]-DPA-714 binding using the cerebellar cortex or the whole brain as a (pseudo)reference region.

Background: Bowel symptoms are commonly experienced by patients with Multiple sclerosis (PwMS), but no specific questionnaire validated in this population allows a rigorous assessment.

Objective: Validation of a multidimensional questionnaire assessing bowel disorders in PwMS.

Methods: A prospective, multicenter study was conducted between April 2020 and April 2021.

Introduction: Owing to their heterogeneity and radioresistance, the prognosis of primitive brain tumors, which are mainly glial tumors, remains poor. Dose escalation in radioresistant areas is a potential issue for improving local control and overall survival. This review focuses on advances in biological and metabolic imaging of brain tumors that are proving to be essential for defining tumor target volumes in radiation therapy (RT) and for increasing the use of DPRT (dose painting RT) and ART (adaptative RT), to optimize dose in radio-resistant areas.

Background: Neurologic lesions are relatively common after total shoulder arthroplasty. These injuries are mostly due to traction. We aimed to identify the arm manipulations and steps during reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) that affect nerve stress.

Introduction: Conventional capsulolabral reconstruction for anterior shoulder instability fails with recurrent instability in up to 23% of cases. Few studies have evaluated surgical revision strategies and outcomes. The objective of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes in a homogeneous series of surgical revisions after selective capsular repair (SCR).

Unlabelled: Elbow dislocations are the most frequently encountered dislocations after shoulder dislocations. In their vast majority these injuries involve only the joint and carry a good prognosis. Close anatomic proximity to the joint of neurovascular structures put them at risk of concomitant injury but this occurrence remains, actually very rare.

Article Synopsis
  • The study used single-photon emission tomography to measure changes in blood flow in key brain areas during finger movements in Parkinson's patients and normal volunteers.
  • In parkinsonian patients, blood flow increased significantly in certain motor areas after receiving apomorphine, which helped alleviate their symptoms.
  • The findings suggest that disrupted brain activity in motor areas contributes to akinesia in Parkinson's, but this can be improved with dopamine treatments.
