Anxiety is common when you have the neuromuscular disorder myasthenia gravis. Find out what experts recommend to help you deal.

Not all strokes cause facial drooping or arm weakness. Learn some of the less common symptoms — plus, who they're most likely to affect.

Shaking hands are easy to notice. What’s much harder to figure out, without a proper medical evaluation, is what’s causing them. Many people notice regular trembling and immediately start searching online, and most of those searches eventually lead to the question of essential tremor vs. Parkinson’s. It’s a reasonable place to start, but it’s not...

We don't yet fully understand how or why dementia begins. The term covers a range...

BackgroundPost-stroke depression (PSD) affects approximately one-third of stroke survivors and significantly impacts functional recovery. This study aimed to develop and validate a prediction model for PSD using polysomnography (PSG) parameters combined with clinical characteristics.MethodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study enrolling 437 acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent PSG asses…

BackgroundChoroidal fissure cysts (CFCs) are relatively rare, and their exact prevalence in the general population remains unclear. These cysts are most often detected incidentally during neuroimaging performed for unrelated reasons. Whether CFCs are associated with specific clinical symptoms and their potential clinical significance remain controversial.Case descriptionA 35-year-old woman develo…

Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has revolutionized the treatment of acute ischemic stroke because of large vessel occlusion (LVO), but distal and medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs) remain a gray zone. DMVOs account for a substantial proportion of ischemic strokes and can cause long-term disability or death despite often presenting with only mild to moderate symptoms. Their biologic […]

BackgroundPrimary brainstem hemorrhage (PBH) is a severe, poorly-prognostic stroke subtype. Since single biomarkers cannot reflect global inflammatory status, we constructed a composite Inflammatory Burden Index (IBI) incorporating neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and assessed its links with 90-day poor …

The age a woman goes through menopause could predict her long-term neurological health. A new study links early menopause to faster cognitive decline, suggesting the transition is a vital window for protecting the brain.

There's no effective treatment for dementia, and cases keep growing. The best bet at the...

The warning signs of Parkinson’s appear to be all around us. Scientists have found clues to the disease’s emergence in people’s hair, in their blood, and in their earwax too. The way you talk, your mental health, and even where you live have all shown varying links to the condition, which affects movement and muscle […]

A surprising discovery suggests key warning signs may surface long before doctors can spot them.

A major trial hints that better blood pressure control may offer an unexpected benefit for brain health.

Tingling fingers. Wrist pain that wakes you at three in the morning. A grip that’s getting weaker without any obvious reason. Most people don’t see a doctor right away. They tend to manage, tolerate, and work around them until they can’t anymore. Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common nerve conditions there is,...

Almost everyone knows the feeling: you wake up, your hand is asleep, and for a few strange seconds your fingers feel like they belong to someone else. Most of the time that’s nothing. But recurring numbness in hands can mean very different things depending on which fingers are affected, how long it lasts, and what...

A protein widely associated with cancer may have another surprising role in the human body: helping damaged nerves create long-lasting pain. New research suggests that blocking this protein could provide scientists with a new strategy for treating chronic nerve pain that does not respond well to existing medicines. The protein, called BRAF, was studied by […] The post An Unexpected Cause of Chron…

Doctors can measure blood pressure in minutes and use the number to spot a possible health problem before a person feels sick. Researchers at Texas A&M University hope that one day a short walking test might provide a similar early warning about brain health. The idea comes from a difficult fact about Alzheimer’s disease. Memory […] The post Could Your Walk Give an Early Warning of Dementia? appe…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the association between post-Intravenous thrombolysis delirium and 90-day functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).MethodsPatients admitted to the Second Hospital of Jiaxing within 24 hours of symptom onset who underwent intravenous thrombolysis for AIS between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2024, were retrospectively analyzed. Clini…

Zanvastro, an antisense oligonucleotide therapy, represents the first independent neurology launch for Ionis Pharmaceuticals, which intends to leverage the foothold for more approvals in rare neurodegenerative diseases, including Angelman syndrome.
