Sometimes all that glitters is gold 💫 In thinking of PAF as a prodromal state, we miss that the majority of patients remain PAF during their lifetime. This is an important group and we studied their clinical and autonomic profiles 🚨 Hot off the press @ClinAutonRes

When I have a new fellow or resident in our peripheral nerve clinic, I always teach them the importance of defining the neuropathy clinical syndrome. NCS/EMG are valuable, but the neurological exam is the most important (as it should be in neurology but many have forgotten).

Brachial amyotrophic diplegia isn't just linked to ALS. Our study reveals paraneoplastic autoimmunity as a possible cause, highlighted by LUZP4-IgG and KLHL11-IgG seropositivity, alongside associated clinical features like ataxia, vertigo, and hearing loss https://t.co/xDHc2WVvJk

MRI, EEG, EMG, LP. The beauty and pain of neurology is that with these - unless you do a great history (when)/exam (where) - 50% of the time you will still have no idea what is going on. There is no test (yet) that can replace your friendly (mostly) neighborhood neurologist.

Upadhya et al. show that antibodies against LGI1 from patients with limbic encephalitis cause seizures in a laboratory model, adding to evidence for a causal role of LGI1 antibodies in seizure generation. https://t.co/89EtKaZIQA
