The illness is typically diagnosed in late adolescence to early adulthood, and generally lasts throughout a patient’s lifetime. This debilitating condition affects approximately 25% of adults aged 55 years old and older. With numbers of elderly adults afflicted by psychiatric illnesses increasing in the future, special precautions need to be taken to address this underserved population. This increase in schizophrenia frequency among elderly populations also has repercussions not just for future healthcare, but health costs as well, with schizophrenia expenses being costly in comparison to other psychiatric ailments. A major theory explaining the genetic and physiological basis of schizophrenia is the dopamine hypothesis, which describes a disruption in the normal transmission of the dopaminergic pathway as well as the mesolimbic system. Current treatments of schizophrenia often involve pharmacological interventions that create heightened side effects in the elderly. There is a need for more research into efficient and effective treatments for the future, especially treatments that can be safe for elderly use such as brain stimulating interventions. Destigmatizing mental health issues and advocating for safer and more efficient therapies are the key to improving outcomes of geriatric schizophrenic patients","PeriodicalId":73862,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurology research, reviews & reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43923987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Patient data were obtained from medical records from the University of Wisconsin – Madison Hospitals in Madison, WI, USA. Results: We report a 59-year-old man with past medical history notable for atrial fibrillation, biventricular pacemaker, end-stage renal disease secondary to idiopathic fibrillary glomerulonephritis, on hemodialysis awaiting transplantation, who presented with ongoing cognitive changes and pneumonia. He was repeatedly COVID-19 positive with minimal symptoms for 4 weeks prior to admission. He developed right sided hemiparesis and persistent, progressive encephalopathy manifesting primarily with disorientation, agitation, and aggression. CSF was notable for cell count of 7, protein of 48, and glucose of 65. Anti-MOG antibody and AQP-4 antibody were negative. A series of CT/CTA head imaging with and without contrast showed progressive multifocal supratentorial areas of white matter hypoattenuation and MRI head with and without contrast demonstrated progressive multi-focal large ovoid T2 FLAIR hyperintensities, partially ring enhancing on contrasted portion of study, consistent with tumefactive demyelinating disease. Significant improvement in mental status and right sided hemiparesis symptoms was observed with initiation of corticosteroids. Conclusion: This case study provides neuroimaging evidence and clinical correlation to support that SARS–CoV-2 and resultant COVID-19 infection can lead to tumefactive acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. This complication has not been previously documented associated with recent COVID-19 infection.","PeriodicalId":73862,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurology research, reviews & reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47538796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over 50 million people spread across the world have epilepsy amongst whom approximately 30% suffer from refractory epilepsy which cannot be controlled by existing treatment protocols. For all epileptic sufferers, the thought that their next seizure could come at any time is agonizing and traumatic. However, if seizures could be predicted reliably, associated dangers and inconveniences will be greatly mitigated. Although the epileptic seizure prediction challenge has been tackled headlong by researchers through different modelling methods the problem of prediction has not yet been satisfactorily solved. In this paper, a systematic literature review of prominent epileptic seizure prediction attempts was carried out. We focus majorly on the two predominant classes of modelling attempts used: physiological mechanism and data based. The review underscores the richness and utility of the diverse modeling strategies as well as the gainful contribution of researchers in the field of epilepsy. It shows that meaningful progress has been made towards discovering the exact mechanism of seizure generation and realization of reliable and consistent seizure prediction algorithm","PeriodicalId":73862,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurology research, reviews & reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47604437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A CT scan was performed and revealed a subdural hematoma, midline shift greater than 5mm and a swelling, Marshall V (surgically evacuated). The patient was submitted to a decompressive craniectomy and hematoma evacuation two hours after the accident and sent to ICU with ICP monitoring. About 48 hours after surgery a new CT scan was performed and revealed a good outcome with regression of the edema, no midline shift and then we suspended the sedation and 7 days after the trauma the patient woke up without neurological deficits. Some authors did not see benefits in early surgery although the average time of surgical approach was 5 hours after the accident and in many cases the worse patients that underwent to early surgery had a poor outcome. We did not find a specific paper describing the outcome in patients with a very poor GCS ( less than 5 ) and fixed pupils, although the pupils abnormalities remains a critical feature for surgical indication. We believe that even in patient with severe brain trauma, poor GCS and non-reactive pupils, early surgery especially if it is performed before 4 hours can probable improves the outcome, considering other clinical features such as blood pressure and oxygen saturation","PeriodicalId":73862,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurology research, reviews & reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42999131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During this time, she had low back and right buttock pain without radiation or neurological signs. The patient tried and failed conservative measures including OTC medications, oral steroids, and Physical Therapy. Based on the discussion between the physician and the patient, a decision was made to proceed with bilateral L3-S1 lumbar facet joint corticosteroid injections on September 21st, 2020, as she was very low risk for COVID-19. 6 days post-procedure, on September 27th, the patient began developing COVID-like symptoms, including fatigue, DOE and anosmia. She later had a positive COVID-19 test on October 1st, 2020. Contact tracing for the patient did not reveal any recent contacts who had COVID-19, and her contacts tested negative for the virus. An in-depth literature review was conducted regarding the nature of this case. While there were many articles with recommendations on steroid injections for pain interventions, there were no cases found directly linking COVID-19 as caused by such an intervention.

Brachial artery is the main artery of upper limb; it is a continuation of axillary artery from the lower border of teres major muscle. During routine cadaveric dissection, we found bilateral tortuous brachial artery which was superficial as well as tortuous throughout its course. It is called superficial as it was superficial to the median nerve. At the neck of radius, it was divided into two terminal branches radial and ulnar arteries which were also tortuous. Tortuosity of the radial artery was more near the flexor retinaculum. When observed, the continuation of ulnar artery as superficial palmar arch also showed tortuosity throughout, including its branches. Being superficial such brachial artery can be more prone to trauma. Tortuous radial artery is one of the causes of access failure in trans-radial approach of coronary interventions.
