Non‐Syndromic Tumefactive Demyelinating Lesions in the Pediatric Population: Four Case Reports and Review of the Literature

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) are large lesions (> 2 cm) seen in demyelinating syndromes such as multiple sclerosis, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disorder, and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. They rarely occur in children and most often have a monophasic course.

Combinatorial expression of glial transcription factors induces Schwann cell‐specific gene expression in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Schwann cells provide peripheral nerve trophic support, myelinate axons, and assist in repair. However, Schwann cell repair capacity is limited by chronic injury, disease, and aging. Schwann cell reprogramming is a cellular conversion strategy that could provide a renewable cell supply to repair injured nerves.

Programming Hippocampal Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells into Oligodendrocytes Enhances Remyelination in the Adult Brain after Injury

Cell Reports, 2015
Demyelinating diseases are characterized by a loss of oligodendrocytes leading to axonal degeneration and impaired brain function. Current strategies used for the treatment of demyelinating disease such as multiple sclerosis largely rely on modulation of

Pathological classification of equine recurrent laryngeal neuropathy [PDF]

, 2018
Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy (RLN) is a highly prevalent and predominantly left‐sided, degenerative disorder of the recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLn) of tall horses, that causes inspiratory stridor at exercise because of intrinsic laryngeal muscle ...

In‐hospital outcomes of lacosamide versus levetiracetam for early adjunctive treatment of status epilepticus: A Nationwide Japanese retrospective cohort study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency requiring immediate treatment. Although intravenous lacosamide (LCM) is used for the management of epilepsy, its effectiveness in treating SE remains unclear. We aimed to compare the in‐hospital outcomes between intravenous LCM and levetiracetam (LEV) as an early adjunctive therapy ...

Movement Disorders in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Several movement disorders (MD) have been reported to occur in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). No extensive review has addressed the whole spectrum of MD in NMOSD. Objective This article aims to review MD in NMOSD, describing its prevalence and features.

The Spectrum of Abnormal Tongue Movements: Review of Phenomenology, Etiology, and Differential Diagnosis

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.
