Neurology

The integration of precision medicine in Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment was posed as a debate in this session, with two guest speakers arguing for each side.

A pioneering figure in neuroimmunology, Angela Vincent, University of Oxford, UK, was honoured with the Controversies in Neurology (CONy) Excellence in Neurology Award.

THE MAGNETIC resonance (MR) collateral map, derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced MR angiography, has shown promise in predicting functional and tissue outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

AN UNDENIABLE link between the cerebellum and Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been revealed by a growing body of research. Previous studies have demonstrated clinical, pathological, and neurophysiological evidence of this link.

PREDICTION of relapse in patients with myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) has been achieved using a novel relapse risk score, according to data presented at the 18th World Congress on Controversies in Neurology (CONy), which took place in London, UK between the 21st–23rd March 2024.

MEMORY deficit patterns are known to be associated with certain types of dementia. While retention-deficit in verbal learning tests is attributed to medial temporal lobe dysfunction, and commonly associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), retrieval-deficit is attributed to frontal lobe dysfunction, and associated with frontal-subcortical dementia.

According to a recent analysis, a part of the brain may be abnormal amongst children with developmental language impairment.

Recent research has shown that statin use amongst older adults with HF may be associated with lower risk of dementia. Although researchers warned that prescription bias may have played a part in these findings.
