Acute Symptomatic Seizures in Patients with Recurrent Ischemic Stroke: A Multic...

Objective: Epileptic seizures occur frequently after stroke due to changes in brain function and structure, and up to around 10% of stroke patients experience stroke recurrence in the first year. We aimed to establish the risk of acute symptomatic seizures in patients with recurrent stroke. Methods: Retrospective cohort study including consecutive admissions to a Stroke Unit due to acute ischemic stroke, during...

Nusinersen treatment in a type 3 spinal muscular atrophy patient during early p...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive motor neuron disorder usually caused by biallelic mutations in the SMN1 gene on chromosome 5q13.2, which leads to a progressive degeneration of lower motor neurons nuclei in the spinal cord and brainstem. It is characterized by a progressive atrophy and proximal muscle weakness, with a variable degree of bulbar and/or respiratory muscle involvement, depend...
