There is a growing body of evidence that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) or COVID-19 infection is associated with the development of autoimmune diseases. A recent systematic review...
Stroke is the second most common cause of morbidity and mortality. Even mild stroke survivors have an increased risk of cognitive impairment. Studies have been conducted on the relationship between glycated he...
Cryptogenic stroke is a heterogeneous condition, with a wide spectrum of possible underlying causes for which the optimal secondary prevention may differ substantially. Attempting a correct etiological diagnos...
Although Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common form of dementia in elderly patients, it remains underdiagnosed compared with Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD). This may be expl...
Recently, the BAOCHE trial and ATTENTION trial registry have demonstrated the efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO), however, the proportion of patients...
This study aimed to investigate the clinical risk factors of dysautonomic symptom burden in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and its impact on patients’ quality of life.
Lymphomas are malignant tumors of the immune system that arise in lymphoid organs and can impact the central nervous system. However, lymphomas with acute myelitis as the first manifestation are exceedingly ra...
Previous studies in headache patients measured the cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in response to photic stimulation but they have yielded contradictory results. The purpose of study was to measure CVR of bot...
Headache is among the most frequent symptoms of acute COVID-19 infection. Its mechanisms remain obscure, but due to its migraine-like characteristics, the activation of the trigeminal system could account for ...
Patients with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) frequently experience symptoms of polyneuropathy (PN) that worsen over time and impair daily functioning. Previous analyses supported efficacy of inot...
