Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used in the diagnostic work-up for status epilepticus (SE). The purpose of this study was to characterize MRI features in SE patients and determine their association with clinical and electroencephalography (EEG) findings. The mid-term consequences of baseline MRI features were also analysed.

Seizures may be present in up to half of the patients, leading to a more severe disease burden. This study aims to analyse the electroclinical phenotype, treatment options, and long-term outcomes of epilepsy in PTHS.

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy characterized by rapid onset and high mortality. Despite considerable progress in the treatment and diagnosis of CJD, patient prognosis remains poor. Many studies have found that the immune response is associated with the pathophysiology of CJD. However, few studies have reported coexpression correlations between genes associated with CJD and the immune response. This study was undertaken to construct a network of coexpressed immune- and CJD-related genes that may reveal new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for CJD.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) often remains undiagnosed in cryptogenic stroke (CS), mostly because of limited availability of cardiac long-term rhythm monitoring. There is an unmet need for a pre-selection of CS patients benefitting from such work-up. A clinical risk score was therefore developed for the prediction of AF after CS and its performance was evaluated over 1 year of follow-up.

However, its role in predicting functional outcome remains elusive. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether SMASH-U is associated with long-term functional outcome after ICH and improves the accuracy of prediction when added to max-ICH score.

Although the majority of migraine with aura (MwA) patients experience simple visual aura, a discrete percentage also report somatosensory, dysphasic or motor symptoms (the so-called complex auras). The wide aura clinical spectrum led to an investigation of whether the heterogeneity of the aura phenomenon could be produced by different neural correlates, suggesting an increased visual cortical excitability in complex MwA. The aim was to explore whether complex MwA patients are characterized by more pronounced connectivity changes of the visual network and whether functional abnormalities may extend beyond the visual network encompassing also the sensorimotor network in complex MwA patients compared to simple visual MwA patients.

Although hereditary ataxias are a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders, specific clinical clues can sometimes incriminate certain genes. This can trigger genetic testing in sporadic patients or prompt dissecting certain genes more thoroughly when initial genetic testing is negative. Also for the assembly of gene panels and interpretation of the results, genotype−phenotype correlations remain important to establish.
