    Acute vestibular syndrome: is skew deviation a central sign? - Journal of Neurology - 3 year(s) ago

    Objective Skew deviation results from a dysfunction of the graviceptive pathways in patients with an acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) leading to vertical diplopia due to vertical ocular misalignment. It is considered as a central sign, however, the prevalence of skew and the accuracy of its test is not well known . Methods We performed a prospective study from February 2015 until September 2020 of…

    The diagnostic value of the neurological examination in coma of unknown etiology - 3 year(s) ago

    Background Identifying the cause of non-traumatic coma in the emergency department is challenging. The clinical neurological examination is the most readily available tool to detect focal neurological deficits as indicators for cerebral causes of coma. Previously proposed clinical pathways have granted the interpretation of clinical findings a pivotal role in the diagnostic work-up. We aimed to…

    Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) values in a large cross-sectional population of children with asymptomatic to moderate COVID-19 - 3 year(s) ago

    Background Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) is an established biomarker of neuro-axonal damage in multiple neurological disorders. Raised sNfL levels have been reported in adults infected with pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Levels in children infected with COVID-19 have not as yet been reported. Objective To evaluate whether sNfL is elevated in children contracting COVID-19….

    Early life serum neurofilament dynamics predict neurodevelopmental outcome of preterm infants - 3 year(s) ago

    Background and purpose To determine whether neurofilament light chain (NfL), a promising serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker of neuroaxonal damage, predicts functional outcome in preterm infants with neonatal brain injury. Methods Our prospective observational study used a sensitive single-molecule array assay to measure serum and CSF NfL concentrations in preterm infants with moderate…

    Screening for genetic mutations in patients with neuropathy without definite etiology is useful - 4 year(s) ago

    To determine the clinical usefulness of systemic genetic testing in neuropathies without definite etiology. We systematically performed genetic testing in all patients with neuropathy who did not have a definite etiology, seen at our neuromuscular clinic between 2017 and 2020. The testing consisted of an inherited neuropathy panel (72–81 genes), which used next-generation sequencing technology….

    Neuronal surface autoantibodies in dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis - 4 year(s) ago

    Neuronal antibodies can cause encephalopathy syndromes often presenting with subacute cognitive impairment, sometimes resembling neurodegenerative dementias. We searched Medline and Embase for studies reporting associations between neuronal surface antibodies in all-cause dementia versus controls. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to pool adjusted estimates across studies. Six studies were…
