The aims of this study were to examine the psychometric properties of the Brief Assessment of Impaired Cognition (BASIC) case-finding instrument in clinical settings focusing on (i) test–retest reliability, (ii) the discriminative validity of BASIC and its components for identification of Alzheimer disease (AD) dementia and non-AD dementia, and (iii) the association of expert clinical rating of cognitive status with BASIC performance.

The presence of apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4) is associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer disease (AD). The aim of this study was to assess the effects of APOE ε4 on amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology, glucose metabolism, and gray matter (GM) volume and their longitudinal changes in healthy control (HC) and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI).

The association between nonstenotic plaque at the petrous internal carotid artery (ICA) and embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) remains unknown. We aimed to test the hypothesis that the presence of a larger build-up of petrous plaque is more prevalent in the ipsilateral versus the contralateral side among ESUS patients without plaque in the intracranial and proximal ICA.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is characterized by high morbidity and mortality proceeding from the initial severity and following complications of aSAH. Various scores have been developed to predict these risks. We aimed to analyze the clinical value of different radiographic scores for prognostication of aSAH outcome.

Limited data guide the selection of patients with large vessel occlusion ischaemic stroke who may benefit from referral to a distant tertiary centre for mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We aimed to characterize this population, describe clinical outcomes and develop a screening system to identify patients most likely to benfit from delayed mechanical thrombectomy (MT).

Stroke and small vessel disease cause gait disturbances and falls. The naturally occurring loss-of-function mutation in the C-C chemokine receptor 5 gene (CCR5-�32) has recently been reported as a protective factor in post-stroke motor and cognitive recovery. We sought to examine whether it also influences gait and balance measures up to 2 years after stroke.

Meningitis and encephalitis are potentially life-threatening diseases that require fast and accurate diagnostics and therapy. The value of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) multiplex testing in clinical practice is still a matter of debate. This study aims to evaluate its benefits and limitations in emergency patients.

To diagnose Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)Â is tested for pleocytosis and intrathecal antibody production. The Dutch guideline for Lyme borreliosis indicates a lumbar puncture in the case of positive Borrelia serology or a strong clinical suspicion of LNB.

Amyloid myopathy is a rare and severe manifestation of systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Early diagnosis and staging are mandatory for optimal therapy, given the rapid progression of muscle weakness. Despite the efficacy of bortezomib-based treatment regimens, there is a lack of therapeutic alternatives in non-responsive patients.

Approximately 30% of epilepsy patients develop a drug-refractory epilepsy, that is, seizures cannot be controlled with antiepileptic drugs. Surgery has been evaluated as an effective but costly form of treatment. The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize the available evidence on the cost-effectiveness of surgical treatment compared to medical treatment for these patients.

Non-ergot dopamine agonists (NEDAs) have been used as an adjunct therapy to levodopa in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) for many years. However, there is no strong evidence that a given NEDA is more potent than another.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1), cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death ligand 1 can be associated with immune-related adverse events (iRAEs). Amongst neurological iRAEs, cerebellar involvement seems to be rare and currently lacks a proper characterization. The aim of this study was to phenotype cerebellar iRAEs.

Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are pathological anastomoses between meningeal arteries and dural venous sinuses or cortical veins. Diagnosis of dAVFs can be challenging due to their broad range of clinical manifestations and the lack of specificity in their symptoms.

Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu latu. Neuroborreliosis is reported in approximately 10% of patients with Lyme disease. We report a patient with central nervous system (CNS) large vessel vasculitis, ischemic stroke, and tumefactive contrast-enhancing brain lesions, an unusual complication of neuroborreliosis.
