Introduction: Limbic encephalitis is a rapidly progressing disease that presents with seizures, psychiatric symptoms, and recent memory loss. Detection of more than one autoantibody is a rare condition in this disease where an underlying autoantibody is frequently detected. Although different autoantibodies have been reported in the literature, no case has been reported regarding the association of anti-γ-aminobutyric acid-beta-receptor (anti-GABABR) and anti-α-amino-3 hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (anti-AMPAR).
Case: In this presentation, a 46-year-old female patient with subacute development of short-term memory loss and behavioral symptoms will be described. Anti-GABABR and anti-AMPAR were positive in the anti-neuronal antibody panel sent from the cerebrospinal fluid and serum. Small cell lung cancer was detected as a result of malignancy screening tests. The patient's complaints and autoantibody positivity regressed after immunotherapy.
Conclusion: In this case report, a case with coexistence of anti-GABABR and anti-AMPAR antibodies, which has not been previously reported in the literature, is described. As more cases with the coexistence of these two antibodies are detected, knowledge on clinical aspect, laboratory and treatment will increase.

AbstractPrior literature suggests that cost stickiness increases the ex-ante volatility and reduces the predictability of earnings. We examine whether managers intentionally undo such consequences by dampening earnings volatility. Exploiting the staggered adoption of wrongful discharge laws as an exogenous instrument for cost stickiness, we document that cost stickiness increases managers’ income-smoothing activities. This response is more pronounced in firms whose earnings are more sensitive to labour costs than their industry peers are and in firms with stronger information-provision incentives. Additional analyses indicate that income smoothing improves sticky-cost firms’ earnings informativeness and that the identified impact of cost stickiness is primarily driven by labour costs. Our results suggest that labour regulations can influence managers’ financial reporting incentives via cost behaviour.Keywords: cost stickinessincome smoothingemployment protectionearnings informativeness AcknowledgmentsWe are heavily indebted to the associated editor Stefano Cascino and two anonymous reviewers for their constructive and thoughtful guidance.

All remaining errors are our own.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Cost stickiness arises primarily from the asymmetry in managers’ real resource commitment. When activity levels increase, managers add resources to meet growing demand; when activity levels fall, they retain some of their underutilized resources, because they perceive the adjustment costs of reducing the resources as higher than the costs of holding them (Anderson et al. Citation2003). In this sense, cost stickiness is distinct from managers’ financial reporting choice.2 In this study, we focus on accrual-based income smoothing, which reflects managerial effort to reduce earnings volatility through accounting methods (in contrast to real activities); see Section 2.2 for more detail. We do not discuss income smoothing through real activities such as discretionary adjustments of R&D or marketing expenditures because such activities are likely detrimental to firm performance in the long run.3 For example, if each employee uses a truck or a software license (i.e. complements to labour), then greater labour cost stickiness wi
