Background

The incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is variable and is still unknown in our geographical area. Poor prognostic factors have been studied, but few have analysed those that influence long-term results. The objective of this study is to know the incidence, characteristics and factors associated with disability and dependency in these patients from a population registry.

Subjects and methods

Observational study in patients diagnosed with GBS from 2009 to 2020 and registered in the Rare Disease Information System of the Region of Murcia (SIER). The crude and adjusted rates for age, sex and year of the period were calculated and the associations between disability and/or dependency with the rest of the variables were analysed.

Results

During the study period, 250 incident cases were diagnosed. The standardised incidence rate (SIR) was 1.52/100,000 person-years, higher in men and increasing with age in both sexes. The disease was more frequent after respiratory infections (46.4%) and in the cold months (56.4%), and the predominant variant was AIDP (54.3%). Greater disability and/or dependence were observed in patients with prolonged hospital stay (OR = 13.19; 95% CI: 3.81–45.67), ICU admission (OR = 2.37; 95% CI: 1.11-5.06) and affected by axonal variants (OR = 3.54; 95% CI: 1.64-7.69) (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

The regional SIR is consistent with that reported in the national and international literature. 18.4% of the cases have recognised dependency and/or disability, associated with the axonal forms of the disease. Studies based on population registries offer representative and updated information and allow us to discover characteristics associated with a worse prognosis.
背景:吉兰-巴勒综合征(GBS)的发病率是可变的,在我们的地理区域仍然未知。不良预后因素已被研究,但很少有人分析那些影响长期结果的因素。本研究的目的是从人口登记中了解这些患者的残疾和依赖的发生率、特征和相关因素。对象和方法:观察性研究在穆尔西亚地区罕见疾病信息系统(SIER)登记的2009 - 2020年诊断为GBS的患者。计算了年龄、性别和期间年份的粗比率和调整后的比率,并分析了残疾和/或依赖与其他变量之间的关系。结果:研究期间共确诊250例。标准化发病率(SIR)为1.52/ 100000人年,男性较高,且随年龄增长而增加。以呼吸道感染(46.4%)和寒冷月份(56.4%)多见,以AIDP(54.3%)为主。在住院时间延长(or = 13.19; 95%CI: 3.81-45.67)、ICU住院(or = 2.37; 95%CI: 1.11- 5.06)和受轴突变异影响(or = 3.54; 95%CI: 1.64-7.69)的患者中观察到更大的残疾和/或依赖性(p结论:区域SIR与国内和国际文献报道一致。18.4%的病例具有与轴突型疾病相关的公认依赖性和/或残疾。基于人口登记的研究提供了具有代表性的最新信息,并使我们能够发现与预后较差相关的特征。

Introduction

Muslims all over the world practice fasting during Ramadan yearly. A plethora of studies have reported severe worsening of migraine attacks cases due to fasting. The aim is to investigate the effect of Ramadan fasting on migraine frequency and severity among practicing Muslim migraine sufferers.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study conducted during the month of Ramadan of the year 2021. This research project has included adult patients meeting the migraine criteria of “International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition”. The frequency and severity of migraine headache were compared to the month preceding Ramadan. In order to analyse the factors associated with breaking the fast motivated by migraine headache during Ramadan, a logistic regression analysis was performed.

Results

The study has included 101 migraine sufferers with a clear female predominance. The average duration of migraine was 9 ± 2 years. Compared to the month of Shaban, we noted an increase in the number of attacks, the number of headache days, and the number of days with analgesic medication taken to relieve the attacks. However, the severity and duration of headache did not change significantly between the two months. Most patients changed their eating and sleeping habits during Ramadan. Twenty-two patients broke the fast for several days due to headaches. Ramadan fasting aggravates the frequency of migraine attacks among practicing Algerian Muslims.

Conclusion

Physicians should educate their migraine patients on the importance of lifestyle measures to better manage their headaches during Ramadan.
世界各地的穆斯林每年都会在斋月期间禁食。大量的研究报告了由于禁食导致偏头痛发作严重恶化的病例。目的是调查斋月禁食对穆斯林偏头痛患者偏头痛频率和严重程度的影响。方法:这是一项在2021年斋月期间进行的横断面研究。本研究项目纳入了符合“国际头痛疾病分类,第三版”偏头痛标准的成年患者。偏头痛的频率和严重程度与斋月前一个月进行比较。为了分析斋月期间偏头痛引发的开斋相关因素,进行了logistic回归分析。研究对象包括101名偏头痛患者,其中明显以女性为主。偏头痛的平均病程为9±2年。与沙班月相比,我们注意到发作次数、头痛天数和服用镇痛药物缓解发作的天数都有所增加。然而,头痛的严重程度和持续时间在两个月内没有明显变化。大多数患者在斋月期间改变了饮食和睡眠习惯。22名患者因头痛而绝食数天。斋月斋戒加剧了阿尔及利亚穆斯林偏头痛发作的频率。结论医生应教育偏头痛患者在斋月期间采取生活方式的重要性,以更好地控制头痛。

Introduction

The impact of subjective cognitive concerns (SCCs) on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) has practically not been studied.

Objectives

In this study, the relationship between subjective cognitive concerns and quality of life in PwMS was explored. Furthermore, to explore whether psychological resilience acts as a mediator in the relationship between SCCs and QoL.

Methods

A total of 214 PwMS were surveyed using the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Inventory, the Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Questionnaire (MSNQ) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.

Results

Our results showed that, SCCs is a predictor of levels of perceived QoL in PwMS. Patients who report higher scores on the MSNQ also showed a worse quality of life in global terms. The results also showed that resilience mediates the relationship between SCCs and QoL, both for the physical dimension of quality of life (physical health composite) and for the mental health dimension (mental health composite). In our patients, as resilience levels increase, the negative impact of SCCs on QoL decreases.

Conclusions

Considering that resilience is a modifiable protective factor, the implementation of interventions aimed at enhancing resilience can have a favorable impact on the psychological well-being and quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis.
主观认知问题(SCCs)对多发性硬化症(PwMS)患者生活质量(QoL)的影响实际上尚未研究。目的探讨PwMS患者主观认知问题与生活质量的关系。进一步探讨心理弹性是否在SCCs与生活质量的关系中起中介作用。方法采用多发性硬化症生活质量量表、多发性硬化症神经心理学问卷(MSNQ)和Connor-Davidson弹性量表对214例多发性硬化症患者进行调查。结果我们的研究结果表明,SCCs是PwMS患者感知生活质量水平的预测因子。总体而言,MSNQ得分较高的患者也表现出较差的生活质量。结果还表明,弹性在生活质量的物理维度(身体健康复合维度)和心理健康维度(心理健康复合维度)中都介导了SCCs与生活质量之间的关系。在我们的患者中,随着恢复能力水平的提高,SCCs对生活质量的负面影响降低。结论弹性是一种可改变的保护因素,实施旨在增强弹性的干预措施可对多发性硬化症患者的心理健康和生活质量产生有利影响。

Introduction

The concept of body representation overlaps with others, such as body schema, body image, body semantics, structural description, body description or body map. A taxonomy is proposed that classifies body schema, body structural description and body semantics. The aim of this narrative review is to analyze the supply of instruments for neuropsychological assessment of body representation and to propose a classification of their paradigms.

Method

A total of 1,109 articles were obtained and reduced to a total of 71 references by inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results

A total of 66 instrument names were found, of which 22 were related to body schema, 32 to structural description of the body and 12 to body semantics. Forty five instruments about clinical manifestations not commonly related to neurological etiology (e.g., anorexia, bulimia, hypochondria or schizophrenia) were discarded.

Discussion

A synthesis and classification of paradigms and instruments of interest to the clinic is presented. The need for the creation of validated consensus protocols and their implications are discussed.

Introduction

Unilateral high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) thalamotomy is a novel and efficient treatment for refractory tremor. In the most recent studies, the tremor is reduced by at least 70%. The objective of this study is to analyse the results of the first series of cases treated in a public hospital in Spain.

Methods

In our centre, from March 2021 to March 2022, 46 patients have undergone a HIFU thalamotomy. The treatment area was predetermined on the inferior surface of the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus using automatic anatomical segmentation on an individual basis. The data of 44 patients six months after the procedure have been analysed.

Results

The mean age of the treated patients was 70.5 ± 14.4 years, and 68% were male. The most common diagnosis was essential tremor (40 cases). Prior to HIFU treatment, the Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor of the treated body side (CRST A + B) was 22.4 ± 5.9, and tremor-related disability (CRST C) was 18.3 ± 4.8. The mean number of sonications was 6.8 ± 1.7. Six months after treatment, CRST scales were 4.5 ± 5.6 and 4.2 ± 5.2, respectively (P < 0.0001). Twenty patients had head tremor. We observed a significant improvement with HIFU (1.9 ± 0.7 to 0.7 ± 0.8, P < 0.0001). Only four patients presented adverse effects at six months, all of them mild.

Conclusions

The clinical benefit after HIFU thalamotomy reaches an 80% reduction in tremor and has a low rate of adverse effects six months after the procedure. The target localisation method used allowed for fewer sonications.
简介:单侧高强度聚焦超声(HIFU)丘脑切开术是治疗顽固性震颤的一种新颖有效的方法。在最近的研究中,震颤至少减少了70%。本研究的目的是分析在西班牙一家公立医院治疗的第一批病例的结果。方法:本中心于2021年3月至2022年3月,对46例患者行HIFU丘脑切开术。治疗区域在丘脑腹侧中间核的下表面上预先确定,使用自动解剖分割的个体基础上。对44例患者术后6个月的数据进行了分析。结果:患者平均年龄70.5±14.4岁,男性占68%。最常见的诊断是特发性震颤(40例)。HIFU治疗前,治疗体侧震颤临床评分(CRST A + B)为22.4±5.9,震颤相关残疾(CRST C)为18.3±4.8。平均超声检查次数为6.8±1.7次。治疗6个月后,CRST评分分别为4.5±5.6和4.2±5.2 (p)结论:HIFU丘脑切开术后的临床获益达到震颤减少80%,术后6个月不良反应发生率低。使用的目标定位方法允许较少的超声波。

Background

Oral anticoagulation (OAC) use increases the risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and CHA2DS2-VASc ≥ 2. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an alternative to OAC, however data about its use in patients with prior ICH is scarce and the timing of its performance is controversial. Furthermore, the long-term outcomes in this group of patients have not been described previously.

Objective

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of LAAO in patients with non-valvular AF and prior ICH (CHA2DS2-VASc ≥ 2) and to determine adequate timing of its performance.

Methods

This is a multicenter retrospective registry that included 128 patients, whose indication for this procedure was ICH. Patients were divided into two groups: early occlusion (n = 31; 24.2%), in which the procedure was performed before 90 days had elapsed after the bleeding, and late occlusion (n = 97; 75.8%), after 90 days.

Results

Global procedural success was of 97% (124/128). Procedure-related complications occurred in 4 patients (3.15%): 2 cardiac tamponade, 1 device embolization and 1 transient ischemic attack during hospitalization. There was a significant reduction in the ischemic and bleeding rates compared to expected based on CHA2DS2-VASc and HASBLED scores (93.9% and 89.9% respectively) after a mean follow-up of 73.9 ± 34.1 months. There were no significant differences neither in baseline characteristics between the early and late occlusion groups nor in the procedural success or complications rates. Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were found in mortality, ischemic events, or hemorrhage between the early and late occlusion group.

Conclusions

Left atrial appendage occlusion is an effective and safe treatment alternative to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke in selected patients with atrial fibrillation and prior intracranial hemorrhage. In this study, we did not find differences regarding safety and efficacy in early closure compared with late closure. Further studies are needed to support early closure to reduce the complications associated with oral anticoagulation withdrawal.
背景:在房颤(AF)和CHA2DS2-VASc≥2的患者中,经口抗凝(OAC)使用增加颅内出血(ICH)的风险。左心耳闭塞术(LAAO)是OAC的一种替代方法,但关于其在既往脑出血患者中的应用的数据很少,其表现的时机也存在争议。此外,这组患者的长期预后以前没有描述过。目的评价LAAO治疗非瓣膜性房颤合并既往脑出血(CHA2DS2-VASc≥2)患者的安全性和有效性,并确定其应用时机。方法:这是一个多中心回顾性登记,包括128例患者,该手术的适应症为脑出血。患者分为两组:早期闭塞(n = 31, 24.2%),在出血后90天前进行手术;晚期闭塞(n = 97, 75.8%),在90天后进行手术。结果全组手术成功率97%(124/128)。4例(3.15%)发生手术相关并发症:2例心包填塞,1例器械栓塞,1例住院期间短暂性脑缺血发作。在平均随访73.9±34.1个月后,与基于CHA2DS2-VASc和HASBLED评分的预期相比,缺血率和出血率显著降低(分别为93.9%和89.9%)。早期和晚期闭塞组的基线特征、手术成功率和并发症发生率均无显著差异。此外,早期和晚期闭塞组在死亡率、缺血性事件或出血方面没有统计学上的显著差异。结论左心耳闭塞术是一种有效、安全的治疗方案,可降低房颤合并颅内出血患者发生缺血性脑卒中的风险。在本研究中,我们没有发现早期闭合与晚期闭合在安全性和有效性方面存在差异。需要进一步的研究来支持早期关闭以减少口服抗凝停药相关的并发症。

Background

This study aims to update and evaluate the age-period-cohort (A-P-C) effects on stroke mortality in Spain over the period 1982–2021.

Methods

Data on stroke mortality and population by age and sex were obtained from the database of the National Institute of Statistics for the years 1982–2021. Joinpoint trend analysis software from the US National Cancer Institute was used to estimate the rates and their time trends. The effects of age, period, and cohort were estimated using a log-linear Poisson model with a likelihood penalty function to address the problem of identifiability.

Results

For both sexes (−4.3% for men and −4.6% for women), age-standardized mortality rates (all ages) decreased over the study period. With the exception of the 30–64 age group, where rates for women have been stable since 2012, the rate of decline has slowed in recent years for both sexes.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the estimated relative risk in birth cohorts for both sexes followed a steady downward trend for all birth cohorts. However, the decline in risk has slowed down for women born between 1947 and 1962. Both men and women have experienced a decline in RR, which has stabilized (women) or slowed down (men) in the last decade.

Conclusions

Both period and cohort effects are present in the decline in Spanish stroke mortality between 1982 and 2021. It is unlikely that the decrease in mortality has offset the possible increase in incidence in younger cohorts. This has led to a slowing (in men) or stagnation (in women) of the current decline in stroke mortality. Therefore, we must continue to focus on prevention.
本研究旨在更新和评估1982-2021年期间西班牙年龄-时期-队列(A-P-C)对卒中死亡率的影响。方法从1982-2021年国家统计局数据库中获取脑卒中死亡率和按年龄、性别划分的人口数据。使用美国国家癌症研究所的Joinpoint趋势分析软件来估计发病率及其时间趋势。使用对数线性泊松模型和似然惩罚函数来估计年龄、时期和队列的影响,以解决可识别性问题。结果两性(男性- 4.3%,女性- 4.6%)的年龄标准化死亡率(所有年龄段)在研究期间均有所下降。自2012年以来,30-64岁年龄段的女性自杀率一直保持稳定,但近年来,男女自杀率的下降速度都有所放缓。自20世纪初以来,出生队列中男女的估计相对风险在所有出生队列中都呈稳步下降趋势。然而,在1947年至1962年之间出生的女性中,风险的下降速度有所放缓。男性和女性都经历了RR的下降,在过去的十年中,RR趋于稳定(女性)或放缓(男性)。结论1982年至2021年间西班牙卒中死亡率的下降存在时期和队列效应。死亡率的下降不太可能抵消年轻人群中发病率可能增加的影响。这导致目前中风死亡率下降的速度(男性)放缓或停滞(女性)。因此,我们必须继续注重预防。

Objective

Analyse the current status of the management of urgent epileptic seizures (ES) in a tertiary referral hospital in the Community of Madrid at each stage of the care process and by the different medical teams involved, including out-of-hospital emergency services, hospital emergency departments and neurology teams.

Method

Cross-sectional descriptive study with a subsequent 30-day prospective longitudinal follow-up of a consecutive sample of patients with urgent EC, recruited between October 2021 and March 2022.

Results

53 patients were included. The mean age was 57.6 (21.2) years. 39.6% were women. 35.8% had a previous diagnosis of epilepsy. The most frequent cause of urgent ES was high-risk seizures (57%), followed by status epilepticus (24%) and cluster seizures (19%). A total of 90.5% of the seizures occurred in the out-of-hospital setting. The median time between ES and emergency services assessment was 40 (27–78) minutes, and between ES and neurology assessment 165 (97.5–290) minutes. 86.8% were treated with benzodiazepines and 81.1% with at least one anti-crisis medication. Urgent video-EEG monitoring was performed in 60.4%. The most frequent destination after emergency management was hospital discharge (47.2%), followed by hospitalisation (39.6%). At 30 days, 20.8% of patients had a new ES and 5.7% had died.

Conclusions

Analysis of the current state of emergency EC management shows significant delays at all levels, both in assessment and drug administration.

Introduction

There are practically no series of cluster headache (CH) in our country. Our aim was to longitudinally describe the characteristics of patients with CH seen in our Hospital since 1980.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of the clinical charts of patients diagnosed as CH.

Results

We included 153 patients diagnosed as CH. 137 (89,5%) males, with a mean age (MA) at diagnosis of 39.5 years (mean deviation 11.4) and a MA at the beginning of the symptoms of 32.8 years (mean deviation 11.3). 128 suffered from episodic CH (eCH; 92.2% males) and 25 chronic CH (cCH; 76% males). The MA at the beginning was delayed in cCH as compared with eCH (37.6 versus 31.8; p = 0.023). Four patients (2.6%) had familial antecedents. Only 3 (2%) referred visual aura. At diagnosis, 66% were smokers and 15% heavy alcohol drinkers. The median duration of cluster period was 60 days, with a median frequency of every 2 years. 16 cases (10.5%) presented a benign course with only one cluster period.

Conclusions

The minimal prevalence of CH in our area was 0.05%, with eCH being the most frequent phenotype. Up to one out of 10 patients showed a benign form with just one cluster period. The diagnostic delay close to 7 years indicates an insufficient recognition of this entity. A high proportion of CH patients showed, already at diagnosis, unhealthy life habits. Cluster periods lasted an average of 2 months and occurred approximately every 2 years. A late beginning and being a woman were associated with the variant of cCH.
导语:我国几乎没有丛集性头痛系列病例。我们的目的是纵向描述自1980年以来在我院就诊的CH患者的特征。方法:回顾性分析诊断为CH的患者的临床资料。结果:153例诊断为CH的患者中,男性137例(89.5%),诊断时平均年龄(MA)为39.5岁(平均偏差11.4),症状开始时平均年龄(MA)为32.8岁(平均偏差11.3)。128人患有发作性CH;92.2%男性)和25例慢性CH (cCH;76%的男性)。与eCH相比,cCH开始时的MA延迟(37.6比31.8;p = 0.023)。4例患者(2.6%)有家族病史。仅有3例(2%)涉及视觉先兆。确诊时,66%为吸烟者,15%为重度饮酒者。聚类期的中位数持续时间为60天,中位数频率为每2年一次。16例(10.5%)为良性病程,仅有1个聚集期。结论:我区CH的最低患病率为0.05%,其中eCH是最常见的表型。高达十分之一的患者表现为良性形式,只有一个群集期。诊断延迟近7年表明对该实体的认识不足。高比例的CH患者在诊断时就表现出不健康的生活习惯。聚集期平均持续2个月,大约每2年发生一次。出生较晚和女性与cCH变异有关。
