Type 2 diabetes and lifestyle factors have been associated with dementia risk, but the effect of a healthy lifestyle on diabetes-related dementia remains largely unknown. We aimed to investigate whether the increased risk of dementia among individuals with diabetes can be offset by a broad combination of healthy lifestyle factors. Methods: This prospective study used data from the UK Biobank cohort.

Recent studies have shown that global cognitive ability tends to decline faster over time in older adults (>=65 years) with epilepsy compared with older adults without epilepsy. Scarce data exist about the role of vascular risk factors (VRFs) on cognitive course in epilepsy. We assessed whether the associations of individual VRFs with cognitive trajectory differed depending on the presence of prevalent epilepsy.

A previous study reported finding that epilepsy risk is elevated after bariatric surgery for weight loss; however, this association has not been adequately explored. Our objectives were to (1) estimate the risk of epilepsy after bariatric surgery for weight loss relative to a nonsurgical cohort of patients with an obesity diagnosis and (2) identify epilepsy risk factors among bariatric surgery recipients.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cause of stroke carrying a nearly 4% risk of recurrence after 1 year. There are limited data on predictors of recurrent venous thrombosis in patients with CVT. In this study, we aim to identify those predictors.

The use of surrogate end points can decrease sample size while maintaining statistical power. This report considers incident stroke symptoms as a surrogate end point in a post hoc analysis of asymptomatic patients from the multicenter, randomized Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy vs Stenting Trial (CREST).

Observational studies described associations between higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) values and intracranial hemorrhages (ICHs) and worse outcomes after successful reperfusion by endovascular therapy (EVT). However, the BP-TARGET trial [BP-Target in Acute Ischemic Stroke to Reduce Hemorrhage after EVT] found that an intensive SBP target did not reduce ICH rates after successful EVT.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multisystem disorder, as supported by clinical, molecular, and neuroimaging evidence. As a consequence, predicting clinical features requires a description of large-scale neuronal dynamics.

Robust biomarkers that can mirror Parkinson disease (PD) are of great significance. In this study, we present a novel approach to investigate disease-associated [alpha]-synuclein ([alpha]Syn) aggregates as biomarkers of PD clinical stage.

AB Pathogenic variants in the ABCD1 gene cause adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a progressive metabolic disorder characterized by 3 core clinical syndromes: a slowly progressive myeloneuropathy, a rapidly progressive inflammatory leukodystrophy (cerebral ALD), and primary adrenal insufficiency. These syndromes are not present in all individuals and are not related to genotype.

AB Molecular therapies exploit the understanding of pathogenic mechanisms to reconstitute impaired gene function or manipulate flawed RNA expression. These therapies include (1) RNA interference by antisense oligonucleotides, (2) mRNA modification using small molecules, and (3) gene replacement therapy, the viral-mediated intracellular delivery of exogenous nucleic acids to reverse a genetic defect. Several molecular therapies are approved for treating spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a recessive genetic disorder caused by survival motor neuron (SMN)1 gene alterations.

AB A 58-year-old previously healthy woman presents with 3 years of rapidly progressive ataxia, parkinsonism, dysautonomia, peripheral neuropathy, leg weakness, spasticity, hyperreflexia, and mild vertical-gaze palsy. She has a matrilineal family history of neurodegenerative diseases. She was initially postulated to have spinocerebellar ataxia or atypical parkinsonism with cerebellar features. However, on closer inspection, her abnormal extraocular eye movements suggested rare mimicking disorders such as prion disease as part of the differential diagnosis, requiring further evaluation.
