HHcy is considered to be an independent risk factor for common cardiovascular and central nervous disorders, where its role in folate metabolism and choline catabolism is fundamental in many metabolic pathways. HHcy induces inflammatory responses via increasing the pro-inflammatory cytokines and downregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines which lead to Hcy-induced cell apoptosis. Conflicting evidence indicates that the development of the homocysteine-associated cerebrovascular disease may be prevented by the maintenance of normal Hcy levels.

Neuroimaging has become crucial in the diagnosis and early recognition of PML. Recognition of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in the early stages of PML is paramount to avoid misdiagnosis and facilitate the delivery of treatments aimed at reducing disease progression. A 49-year-old white man with HIV presented with 4-month progressive left-sided weakness. Neurological examination revealed mild cognitive impairment, left-sided hemiparesis, and somatosense impairment to all modalities. Brain MRI revealed a punctate pattern with innumerable T2-FLAIR (fluid attenuated inversion recovery) hyperintensities in the cortex, brainstem, cerebellum, subcortical, and periventricular areas. Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) revealed hypointensities involving subcortical U-fibers and cortical architecture. A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation was inconclusive. John Cunningham virus (JCV) PCR in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was indeterminate. He was started on antiretroviral therapy. Repeat brain MRI performed 1.5 months later, in the setting of further neurological decline, demonstrated progression of the T2-hyperintensities into a large confluent white matter lesion in the right frontoparietal lobe. Despite an indeterminate JCV PCR, the appearance and characteristic progression of the lesions in successive imaging in the setting of severe immunosuppression, with extensive negative infectious workup, was indicative of PML. This clinical experience illustrates unique neuroimaging features of HIV-PML in early stages and its progression over time. It especially highlights the relevance of the SWI sequence in the diagnosis and features observed with disease evolution. Short-term imaging follow-up may assist with the recognition of MRI features consistent with the biology of the infection.</p>","PeriodicalId":15218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Central Nervous System Disease","volume":"12 ","pages":"1179573520939339"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1179573520939339","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38169417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To acquire knowledge on the incidence and prevalence of drug-resistant TLE-HS in Qatar, we designed this analytical and extrapolative systematic review of the existing literature.</p><p><strong>Material and methods: </strong>We searched the electronic database PubMed from 1947 until April, 2018, using the following search terms in the title: \"epilepsy\" OR \"temporal lobe\" OR \"hippocampal sclerosis\" AND \"epidemiology\" OR \"incidence\" OR \"prevalence.\" Relevant original studies, reviews, and their references, were included. We extrapolated from the previous international literature to estimate the epidemiology of drug-resistant TLE-HS in Qatar.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The estimated Qatar incidence of epilepsy varies from 50 to 61 per 100 000 persons per year, and the estimated prevalence of epilepsy is 6.54 per 1000 population; the estimated incidence of TLE varies from 9.5 to 11.6 patients per 100 000 population per year and the estimated prevalence of TLE is 1.76 patients per 1000 people, with 4721 patients having TLE in Qatar. Finally, the reviewed studies also helped in making an estimate of the Qatar prevalence of drug-resistant TLE-HS to be between 0.3 and 0.6 cases per 1000 people (804-1609 current patients) and the Qatar incidence of drug-resistant TLE-HS (2.3-4.3 cases per 100 000 people, per year) with 62 to 116 new patients per year.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our study suggests that 804 to 1609 current patients (with 62-116 additional patients per year) in Qatar are suffering from drug-resistant TLE-HS; emphasis should be placed on the surgical aspect of the current Qatar Comprehensive Epilepsy Program.</p>","PeriodicalId":15218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Central Nervous System Disease","volume":"12 ","pages":"1179573520935031"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2020-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1179573520935031","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38128685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
