HIV-sensory neuropathy (HIV-SN) is a debilitating complication in HIV patients with or without anti-retroviral treatment (ART). Common symptoms of HIV-SN include pain, decreased sensation, paresthesias, and dysesthesias in a symmetric stocking-glove distribution. While HIV-1 protein such as gp120 is implicated in HIV-SN (e.g. impaired large-diameter fiber), ART itself was recently shown to contribute to HIV-SN in HIV patients and impair thin fiber. Multiple host mechanisms may play roles during the pathogenesis of HIV-SN, including neuron-glia interactions in the spinal dorsal horn (SDH), inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Concurrent infections, such as tuberculosis, also carry a higher likelihood of HIV-SN as well as environmental or genetic predisposition. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL2 receptor-alpha, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) along with abnormal lactate levels have been identified as potential players within the complex pathophysiology of this condition. In this paper, we review the pathophysiology of HIV neuropathy, focusing on the various treatment options available or under investigation. Although several treatment options are available e.g., the capsaicin patch and spinal cord stimulation, symptomatic control of HIV-SN are often challenging. Alternative approaches such as self-hypnosis, resistance exercise, cannabinoids, and acupuncture have all shown promising results, but need further investigation.

Several genetic makers have been identified as predisposing factors in the aetiology of motor neuron disease, MND /ALS. Chief among these are mutations in the SOD1 gene but many other aberration of the genome have been implicated mainly in the form of structural variants (SVs). Comparison is made between sporadic MND/ALS and a similar degenerative disorder endemic on the island of Guam known to be caused by Cycad toxicity. The long incubation period of both conditions points to a complex time-dependent pathogenesis.

Background: Cerebral Venous Thrombosis is an underdiagnosed form of stroke. Its presentation as association of headache with visual symptoms is unusual in literature, particularly in patients without predisposing factors; so, the diagnosis is often delayed, especially by the non-neurologists. The case is discussed in the light of diagnostic challenge and how an understanding of the basic sciences can explain its clinical presentation.
