Advancing FIRES Treatment: The Potential of Intrathecal Dexamethasone

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a rare, devastating epilepsy syndrome characterized by refractory status epilepticus following a febrile illness. Patient Description We describe a 12‐year‐old girl with FIRES who exhibited a remarkable clinical and electrographic response to intrathecal dexamethasone (IT‐DEX ...

Glial Fibrillary Acid Protein Reflects Disease Activity in Autoimmune Encephalitis. [PDF]

Eur J Neurol
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Management of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is challenging due to a lack of reliable biomarkers. We here assess the combination of glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) and neurofilament (NfL) as biomarkers for diagnosis and disease monitoring of AE.

Regional astrocyte IFN signaling restricts pathogenesis during neurotropic viral infection [PDF]

, 2017
Type I IFNs promote cellular responses to viruses, and IFN receptor (IFNAR) signaling regulates the responses of endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) during neurotropic viral infection.

Autopsy findings in cases of fatal COVID‐19 vaccine‐induced myocarditis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract COVID‐19 vaccines have been linked to myocarditis, which, in some circumstances, can be fatal. This systematic review aims to investigate potential causal links between COVID‐19 vaccines and death from myocarditis using post‐mortem analysis.

Non-systemic transmission of tick-borne diseases: a network approach [PDF]

Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulations, Volume 39, October 2016, pages 149-155, 2016
Tick-Borne diseases can be transmitted via non-systemic (NS) transmission. This occurs when tick gets the infection by co-feeding with infected ticks on the same host resulting in a direct pathogen transmission between the vectors, without infecting the host. This transmission is peculiar, as it does not require any systemic infection of the host.

Adult‐onset epilepsy with startle‐induced seizure after febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome: A case report

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Startle‐induced seizure is a rare type of reflex seizure triggered by unexpected sensory stimuli that often occurs in children with early acquired cerebral lesions or brain malformations. We report a unique case of adult‐onset epilepsy with startle‐induced seizures.
