The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated individuals, families, and institutions throughout the world. Despite the breakneck speed of vaccine development, the human population remains at risk of further devastation. The decision to not become vaccinated, the protracted rollout of available vaccine, vaccine failure, mutational forms of the SARS virus, which may exhibit mounting resistance to our molecular strike at only one form of the viral family, and the rapid ability of the virus(es) to hitch a ride on our global transportation systems, means that we are will likely continue to confront an invisible, yet devastating foe. The enemy targets one of our human physiology’s most important and vulnerable life-preserving body tissues, our broncho-alveolar gas exchange apparatus.

Mechanisms driving neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) are unclear and neurovascular dysfunction may be a contributing factor. White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are commonly found on brain MRI in patients with PD. It is controversial if they are more prevalent or more severe in PD compared with controls. This systematic review aims to answer this question.

Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) is a neurological disorder typically found in alcohol use disorder. The fact that it also occurs in nonalcoholic patients is less well known and often ignored. For the first time, this review offers a systematic investigation of the frequency and associated features of nonalcoholic WKS in the published literature.

Asymptomatic acute ischemic lesions (AIL) may be coincidentally found on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) obtained during the acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage, but its clinical significance has yet to be determined. The objective of this study is to determine the frequency of asymptomatic AIL, its characteristic features of brain MRI and risk factors in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.

Although functional imaging is useful for the diagnosis and pathophysiological evaluation of Parkinson's disease (PD), little is known about the relationship between functional imaging findings and PD clinical features. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between 123I-FP-CIT-SPECT findings and motor symptoms, in particular gait disturbance.

Blood pressure (BP) control is an integral part in the management of spontaneous nontraumatic intracerebral haemorrhage. The aim of this study is to propose a novel concept of blood pressure control measured as ‘Time in Range’(TiR) and assess its relationship to neurological deterioration.

In order to further evaluate clinical usefulness of ?- and ?-adrenergic components of the baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) index, the aim of this study was to compare them to standardized measures of the autonomic dysfunction.

Patients with small core infarction and salvageable penumbra are likely to benefit from endovascular treatment (EVT). As computed tomography perfusion imaging (CTP) is not always available 24/7 for patient selection, many patients are transferred to stroke centers for CTP. We compared automatically measured infarct core volume (NCCTcore) from the non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) with ischemic core volume (CTPcore) from CTP and the outcome of EVT to clarify if NCCTcore measurement alone is sufficient to identify patients that benefit from transfer to stroke centers for EVT.

Speech impairments are very common in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, knowledge of their objective characteristics and relationship to other motor symptoms amongst Asian PD patients is limited.

Underrepresented in medicine (UIM) academic physicians are poorly represented among medical school faculty when compared with their proportion in the US population, receive NIH research awards less frequently, are promoted less often, indicate lower career satisfaction, and report higher social isolation, than faculty who are not under-represented.

Growing evidence has been published as to the impact of SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) on cerebrovascular events over the last few months, with considerable attention paid to ischemic strokes. Conversely, little is known about the clinical course of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and simultaneous SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Behçet’s Syndrome (BS) may present with different neurological problems, related either directly (primary) or indirectly (secondary) to BS. Primary neurological involvement is named as neuro-Behcet’s syndrome (NBS), and its two major subtypes that are classified mainly on the clinical and MRI findings are (1) Parenchymal-NBS (p-NBS) and (2) Extra parenchymal neuro-vascular involvement mostly seen as cerebral dural venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). The less commonly seen forms of NBS are cognitive and behavioral syndromes and peripheral nervous system involvement.
