Nearly three million people worldwide are living with multiple sclerosis (MS), affecting individuals from diverse geographical, ethnic, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds. This diversity raises important questions about how these factors may influence the experiences and outcomes of those with MS, as well as whether research studies and clinical trials have sufficiently addressed this variability. To answer these questions and more, host Brett Drummond of MSTranslate speaks with two leading researchers in this field: Dr. Léorah Freeman, assistant professor at the Dell Medical School Department of Neurology, The University of Texas at Austin; and Dr. Lilyana Amezcua, Associate Professor of Clinical Neurology at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine.

In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the nurse complains of a headache saying “Lord, how my head aches! what a head have I! It beats as it would fall in twenty pieces.” In 1582, Bartholomew the Englishman's 13th century text was reprinted in London, describing a condition called “emigraina” that Bartholomew defined as “similar to hammers beating in the head.” Whether it was called emigraina, head aches, or megrym, as some contemporary accounts have called it, it is plain that migraines were a common problem for Shakespeare's England, with proposed solutions ranging from mild tonics and elixirs, all the way to dangerous blood letting and even brain surgery. Here this week to help us understand the history of migraines, their diagnosis, and their treatment, for the 16-17th century is our guest and author of the chapter titled “History of migraine” in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology, Dr. Peter Koehler.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

This month's cases both feature sudden onset neurological syndromes. The first case (1:23) is that of a 26-yo Brazilian man who awoke from sleep with weakness in all four limbs. The signs suggest a possibility of Guillain-Barré syndrome or polio. A normal cranial nerve examination follows, with no unusual findings - https://pn.bmj.com/content/24/4/342  A 69-yo woman is the subject of the second case (14:33), after she presents with sudden onset unsteadiness and slurred speech when getting out of bed. A stroke was initially examined for by CT head scan, proving unremarkable, but a subsequent MRI scan showed an intense midbrain lesion. The patient subsequently improved, but then returned three months later with occurrences of the same symptoms multiple times throughout the day - https://pn.bmj.com/content/24/4/310 The case reports discussion is hosted by Prof. Martin Turner (1), who is joined by Dr. Ruth Wood (2) and Dr. Xin You Tai (3) for a group examination of the features of each presentation, followed by a step-by-step walkthrough of how the diagnosis was made.

The spinal cord serves as the main communication highway between the brain and body. Did you know that 80% of people with multiple sclerosis have spinal cord lesions on MRI? These lesions can disrupt specific neural pathways, leading to common MS symptoms like numbness, weakness, impaired coordination, balance issues, bladder problems, constipation, and sexual dysfunction. For instance, damage to the corticospinal tract on one side of the spinal cord can weaken an arm or leg. A remarkable autopsy study revealed that nearly 90% of people with MS still had active inflammation in the spinal cord. This finding brings new hope for potential treatments, even for older and progressive MS patients. Advances in imaging technology, including more powerful MRI scanners (3 Tesla and higher), are enhancing our ability to see inside the spinal cord, which is as thin as a pinky finger. Improved spinal cord imaging is driving the development of new therapies in clinical trials and helping identify those at risk for worsening disability, ultimately guiding better treatment decisions.

Two highly unusual cases in this edition of Case Reports. The first case describes a 64-yo woman presenting to the emergency department with a five day history of bizarre behaviours (1:45). A BBC radio show prompts her, out of character, to reflect aloud about her childhood, and she experiences recurrent periods of unresponsiveness followed by intense agitation. She was kept in hospital for scans and discharged after two weeks, but returned soon after with a similar presentation - (link) A lifetime bodybuilder is the patient in the second case (21:12), with a practice of anabolic steroid injection over several decades. He presents with a three year history of unsteadiness when walking and tingling in his feet, as well as reduced dexterity. His symptoms are found to be brought on by a toxicity from an unexpected source - (link) The case reports discussion is hosted by Prof. Martin Turner (1), who is joined by Dr. Ruth Wood (2) and Dr. Xin You Tai (3) for a group examination of the features of each presentation, followed by a step-by-step walkthrough of how the diagnosis was made.

The world of Dysautonomia and all the various symptoms and conditions that fall under this broad heading, can leave people impacted by it, feeling miserable, defeated and like their world is limited due to their inability to properly function within it.Dysautonomia is an umbrella term used to described disorders related to the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS serves as an automatic/unconscious control system for our brain and the nervous system making sure our body has a stable environment and all the fuel and input it needs. This beautiful system, the ANS, regulates blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, digestion, temperature control, hormone secretion and regulation, pupillary reflexes, organ function and basic survival control.As you can imagine, when any of these above areas of our body are impacted and the ANS loses is ability to properly control the specific system, the resulting Dysautonomia can be incredibly disruptive to the health of the individual.Common Symptoms to Dysautonomia are the following: LightheadednessFaintingHeat IntoleranceAbnormal Blood PressureIrregular Heart Beat (Commonly Tachycardia/Increased Heart Rate)Brain FogImproper Nutrient AbsorptionFatigueIntolerance to standing or exercise (Often Due to Orthostatic Hypotension or POTS)Photophobia (Light sensitivity)Gastrointestinal ProblemsChronic PainDizziness (Lightheadedness)Migraine and Chronic HeadachesIn this episode we are fortunate to have our friend, colleague and expert in the field of Dysautonomia on the podcast to discuss the subject and share his wealth of knowledge on how to help people impacted by it... Dr. Nathan Kaiser, DC, DACNB, FABBIR.Dr Keiser is a board certified chiropractic neurologist specializing in non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical treatment of the dysautonomia, traumatic brain injury, and movement disorders. He resides and practices in Chelsea, Michigan, just 20 minutes west of Ann Arbor.In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Keiser serves as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurology for the Carrick Institute, which provides post-graduate instruction for doctors of all disciplines in the field of clinical and functional neurology. He is actively involved in ongoing research in his area of study and he regularly presents and teaches across North America and Europe. He is a true leader in the world of Dysautonomia and through his research, clinical approach years of practice in this specialized area has led to greater hope for those suffering from one of the many conditions that fall under this broad family of neurological disorders.Over 70 million people worldwide live with various forms of dysautonomia and I would estimate that this number is well below the actual number truly impacted.Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are two common causes to dysautonomia but more recently we have seen an increase in post-infectious causes due to infections like COVID-19. Dysautonomia can be a part of the lingering "Long Haulers" symptoms.Common Dysautonomias:Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)MigrainesAnxiety and Panic Attacks (certain ones can be a result of dysautonomia)We hope you enjoy this discussion on dysautonomia and we hope it delivers information to help you or someone you know find help and answers.For more information on our guest, Dr. Keiser, please check out his instagram, @dockeiser, or his website at www.drkeiser.comFor more information about the hosts of the show and to get in contact please reach out to: www.thewellnessinstituteofdallas.com or on IG @healthwealthultimateself or @wellnessinstituteofdallas

“The complementary—and some would say—diametrically opposite—clinical methods of the dermatologist and the neurologist can in these circumstances reduce an otherwise dauntingly large differential into a more tractable, smaller list.” In this episode of the Neurophilia Podcast, we discuss the fascinating relationship between Neurology and Dermatology, review the various pathologies shared between these two systems, and highlight the art of medicine between two specialists, Dr. Blake Buletko and Dr. Eliot Mostow. Dr. Blake Buletko is a vascular neurologist at the Cleveland Clinic. He completed his residency and fellowship training at the Cleveland Clinic and was the former medical director of their mobile stroke program. In addition to his clinical responsibilities, Dr. Buletko serves as an Assistant Professor at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University and is the current Program Director of the Adult Neurology Residency program for the Cleveland Clinic.Dr. Eliot Mostow is the Professor and Chair of the Dermatology Section at Northeast Ohio Medical University. He is the President of Akron Dermatology and has served the Akron Ohio community for nearly 30 years. He is extremely passionate about excellence in medical education, prevention of errors in medicine, and medical ethics. References:Basavaraj, K. H., Navya, M. A., & Rashmi, R. (2010, July).
