My name is Rita and I am a 4th year Neurology resident in a peripheral hospital of northern Portugal, which is located near one of the first COVID-19 pandemic outbreaks in Portugal, the city of Ovar. Although the first case was reported in Portugal on the 2nd of March, we got the confirmation of the first two positive cases in our hospital one week later. At that time, the confirmed COVID cases in our country numbered about 60 and without deaths. However, we felt that the storm was coming, especially hearing all the testimonials of Italian colleagues who were facing a catastrophe. We feared that their situation could be also repeated in our country, perhaps even to a greater extent. I dont know if it was fear or just pragmatism, but in a few days, our small hospital, obviously limited in resources, was completely reorganized to face this pandemic. The emergency department and hospitalization wards were divided into COVID and non-COVID areas so the patients and the work teams did not cross ...

Award Profile written by Raman Sankar, MD, PhD for Fall 2017 CNS Connections. Dr. Donald Shields (Don) was born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1941. His father was a coal miner in Utah, and was part of the broad war effort during World War II. The earliest inspiration to consider becoming a pediatric physician skilled in neurologic disorders took root during the first year of missionary service when he came across institutionalized children with severe intellectual and neurological disabilities. After graduating from the University of Utah in 1967 with a major in chemistry, he entered the College of Medicine and received his M.D. in 1971. He undertook pediatric training (1971-1973) at the Los Angeles County - University of Southern California. He returned to University of Utah for training in Child Neurology. Dr. Patrick Bray had a powerful influence on Dons professional aspirations to care for children and families in a setting where the satisfaction from clinical care could be enhanced by ...

The Neurological Unit at Boston City Hospital has been called the Cradle of American Neurology. From the time it was established by Stanley Cobb in the 1920s until Boston City Hospital ceased to exist as an independent entity in 1997, the Unit remained at the forefront of the development of neurology as a specialty both in terms of scientific advancement and training of generations of neurologists who assumed leadership roles throughout the country. Among the accomplishments of the faculty were: the discovery of the first effective anticonvulsant (phenytoin) using an animal model of epilepsy, the development of the multichannel EEG, the birth of child neurology as a discipline, the rebirth of behavioral neurology as a subspecialty, the development of the EMG as a physiological probe into the peripheral nervous system, and the elucidation of the neuropathology of stroke, autism, and many other conditions. The history of the Neurological Unit is best told through consideration of the colorful ...

Background. Conversion disorder is largely managed by neurologists, for whom it presents great challenges to understanding and management. This study aimed to quantify these challenges, examining how neurologists understand conversion disorder, and what they tell their patients.. Methods. A postal survey of all consultant neurologists in the UK registered with the Association of British Neurologists.. Results. 349 of 591 practising consultant neurologists completed the survey. They saw conversion disorder commonly. While they endorsed psychological models for conversion, they diagnosed it according to features of the clinical presentation, most importantly inconsistency and abnormal illness behaviour. Most of the respondents saw feigning as entangled with conversion disorder, with a minority seeing one as a variant of the other. They were quite willing to discuss psychological factors as long as the patient was receptive but were generally unwilling to discuss feigning even though they saw it as ...

Neurology is the medical discipline dealing with neurological disorders (disorders of the nervous system). To be specific, neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of disease and disorders involving the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as related symptoms (e.g., back pain), signs (e.g., aphasia), and syndromes (e.g., Aicardi syndrome). The term neurology was once used in a synonymous way with the current definition of neuroscience. For example, MaGills Medical Guide (2008) defines neurology as the study of the nervous system and the study of the structure and function of the nervous system (Hollar 2008). However, today neurology is limited to the medical specialty dealing with disorders and diseases of the nervous system. As such, it can be seen as a branch of neuroscience. It also can be seen as part of clinical neuroscience, along with psychiatry and many allied health professions such as speech-language pathology. Psychiatry is the medical ...

Born in England, Peter Camfield moved as a child with his family to Canada, becoming a Canadian citizen in 1954. He obtained his Bachelors Degree in 1966 from Queens University, Ontario and then crossed the border to pursue his studies at Harvard Medical School. Quite early in his medical training he was profoundly affected by the lectures of his fellow Canadian, David Hubel and Hubels Swedish colleague, Torsten Wiesel. Their now even more detailed and fascinating work on visual system development proved to be as fascinating to Camfield as a few years earlier it had been for Mary Anne Guggenheim. And thus it was that not only were these two remarkable young scientists completing work for which they would be awarded the Nobel Prize in 1981, they had, in addition the distinction (of which they perhaps were unaware) of serving as the initial attractants to neurology and neuroscience of at least two individuals who in time would become some of our finest child neurologist/ neuroscientists. Upon ...

Epidemiology and Risk Factors. The Swedish dermatologist, Afzelius, first described an expanding ringlike skin lesion following a tick bite in 1910. He called this lesion erythema chronicum migrans.» , 94 The first case report of erythema migrans in the United States involved a physician in Wisconsin who was bitten by a tick while hunting. This was reported in 1970. y In the mid-1970s a number of children and adults from Lyme, Old Lyme, and Haddam, Connecticut, presented with recurrent attacks of asymmetric large joint pain and swelling that was often preceded by an erythematous expanding plaque-like skin lesion with central clearing. y This disease was termed Lyme arthritis. Lyme arthritis was later renamed Lyme disease. In 1979, Andrew Spielman, while searching for the tick vector of human babesiosis, named one tick suspect, Ixodes dammini, in honor of the distinguished Harvard pathologist Gustave Dammin. y , y This tick would later be identified as the vector of Lyme disease.y In 1981, ...

Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by neonatal onset intractable seizures, severe psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic facies, and dislocated ocular lenses.1 A characteristic biochemical profile permits early diagnosis. Although more than 100 genetically characterized patients have been reported, this number is discrepant with the actual prevalence as MoCD is often mistaken for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) secondary to perinatal asphyxia. It is important to recognize MoCD to provide appropriate genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis.2 Effective pharmacotherapies that overcome the primary biochemical defect are also in the pipeline. We present a child with biochemically and genetically confirmed MoCD and discuss the clinical, imaging, biochemical, and genetic profile of this disorder. ...

In neurological circles today the name James Taylor (1859-1946) is probably remembered mainly for his role in editing the Selected Writings of John Hughlings Jackson, the most readily available source of Jacksons contributions to neurological knowledge. Taylors own neurological achievements are largely or entirely forgotten, but in his day he was an influential figure whose career linked the great figures of the golden era of late nineteenth century British neurology to the neurology of the first half of the twentieth century. Not only was he a junior professional colleague and close friend of both John Hughlings Jackson and William Gowers, he also produced a substantial corpus of neurological writings in his own right, including a textbook of child neurology and the first English language account of subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord.

Obesity, other treatable diseases, and some medications can cause raised intracranial pressure and symptoms of pseudotumor cerebri. A thorough medical history and physical examination is needed to evaluate these factors. If a diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri is confirmed, close, repeated ophthalmologic exams are required to monitor any changes in vision. Drugs may be used to reduce fluid buildup and to relieve pressure. Weight loss through dieting or weight loss surgery and cessation of certain drugs (including oral contraceptives, tetracycline, and a variety of steroids) may lead to improvement. Surgery may be needed to remove pressure on the optic nerve. Therapeutic shunting, which involves surgically inserting a tube to drain CSF from the lower spine into the abdominal cavity, may be needed to remove excess CSF and relieve CSF pressure. ...

Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF 2) is less common and is characterized by slow growing tumors on the eighth cranial nerve. (The cranial nerves are 12 pairs of nerves coming off the bottom of the brain.) In addition to the tumors a person with NF 2 may have cataracts at an early age, changes in the retina, and other nervous system tumors.. Schwannomatosis is the third type of neurofibromatosis. This is characterized by the development of multiple schwannomas (a certain cell type of tumor) throughout the body except on a certain part of the eighth cranial nerve. The predominant symptom of these tumors is pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness caused by pressure on adjacent tissues.. Surgery may be recommended to remove the tumors of all types of NF. Some tumors in NF 1 can become cancerous, if so, a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy may be required. Some of the bone problems of NF 1 can be corrected surgically. Intervention for tumors of NF 2 can also be an option but may result in ...

Leighs career exemplifies a lost interdisciplinary flexibility. After qualifying in medicine in Manchester in 1938, he trained with the eminent neurosurgeon Sir Jeffrey Jefferson, intending a career in neurology or neurosurgery. However, at the outbreak of war he joined the Royal Army Medical Corps, and after a spell as a regimental medical officer, was posted (through the influence of Jefferson) to the Oxford Head Injuries Unit where he worked with the outstanding neurological leaders and aspirants of that generation. From 1942 he served in India and Burma, ending the war as Lieutenant-Colonel and Advisor in Neurology to the Eastern army, while undertaking research (supervised by Derek Denny-Brown) into diphtheritic polyneuropathy and the neurology of nutritional disorders in prisoners of war.. He returned home as First Assistant (Senior Resident) to the Neurology Department at The London Hospital, working for Sir (later Lord) Russell Brain and George Riddoch, and in 1948 he was awarded a ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) are working to better understand the process by which the immune system destroys or attacks myelin in transverse myelitis and autoimmune disorders. NINDS-funded scientists are studying cellular mechanisms that control the generation and maturation of cells that generate myelin-producing cells, while other scientists hope to develop a better understanding of the molecular control of myelination. Additional research funded by NINDS aims to develop new imaging techniques to assess the relationship between spinal cord pathology and neurological dysfunction in multiple sclerosis, which may possibly aid in other myelin disorders such as transverse myelitis. NINDS also funds researchers who are using animal models of spinal cord injury to study strategies for replacement or regeneration of spinal cord nerve cells. The knowledge gained from such research should lead to a greater knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for ...

My rotation was in at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawis second largest city. The hospital is a public hospital that serves as a referral center for most of Southern Malawi. The rotation was divided between clinical duties and research duties. My clinical work involved seeing adult and pediatric neurology patients on the inpatient service and in the outpatient clinic I worked with both medicine and pediatric registrars who were eager to learn more about neurology. Resources were limited, though luckily an MRI machine had been donated to the hospital. Common diagnoses I saw included migraine, Alzheimers dementia, various epilepsy syndromes, stroke, transverse myelitis, cerebral malaria, HIV dementia, and toxoplasmosis. The other half of my rotation was acting as a research assistant for a project investigating the treatment of cerebral malaria in pediatric patients and also a neurology consultant for research patients.

By Hannah Evans, DVM, Veterinary Anesthetist for VNIoC. A 10-year-old female spayed German Shepherd dog presented to the neurology service for new onset of seizure activity. Her previous medical history included hypothyroidism (well-controlled on medication), anal sac adenocarcinoma (surgically removed 2 years prior), and lumbosacral disc disease (surgically treated approximately 4 months prior). Her medications at that time included soloxine, carprofen, gabapentin, and amitriptyline. Levetiracetam was added to her regimen the night prior by the emergency service. Neurologic exam that morning revealed mild paraparesis and proprioceptive ataxia.
