Since when did Wayne Rooney a) get that fat, b) be old enough for facial hair, and c) persuade a broadcaster he can string a sentence together???.#facupfinal #FACUP24.

Excellent #inclusivity at @abnconf. Accurate live subtitles - this should be routine at all conferences.

Excited to be on my way to #Edinburgh for the @theABN_Info #conference and in particular chairing todays #trainee day @ABNTrainees .Looking forward to seeing lots of old friends and making new ones from across British #neurology

Merry Christmas to one and all, but particularly to the amazing team at @StGeorgesTrust #HASU - working round the clock to bring cutting edge #stroke care to SW London. #NHS #frontline

Proud to represent @StGeorgesTrust #MS team presenting two cases of enterovirus #encephalitis in patients treated with #ocrelizumab - rare, but important to carry out ongoing safety surveillance and share. #neurology #Encephalitis2023

to learn more about this great project.

Fantastic talk about #socialdeterminantsofhealth and #vaccinehesitancy with #qualitativeresearch in diverse ethnic groups in Liverpool. Religion, culture, health education, IT literacy, all play a role in keep people healthy (or preventing it).#encephalitis2023.

#encephalitis2023 - a life as a detective - using #epidemiology to uncover the secrets of new epidemics of #encephalitis - 'expect the unexpected', not all 'encephalitis' is encephalitis, sometimes the answer remains a #mystery. But an #openmind and #inquisitiveness is key.

and a final tantalising #cliffhanger - might it reduce the number going on to develop #NMDArEncephalitis?? . results to follow.

Important to add that although it didn't derive benefit across the cohort, it didn't cause harm.

🇫🇷 multisite data of #encephalitis - 25% mortality within 2mo regardless of aetiology (40% infectious, 35% unknown, 13% autoimmune). Not Rx acyclovir & #immunocompromise sig ⬆️ risk of death. 32% whole cohort dead at 1y, 60% at home. #encephalitis2023 @encephalitis.

There seem to be a small number of patients with #NMDArEncephalitis who have #MS overlap - think about looking for #whitematterlesions on MRI, and continue to f/u and consider B-cell Rx. #encephalitis2023 @encephalitis @mssocietyuk @MSTrust @theABN_Info.

#scrubtyphus is 1 of the commonest causes of acute undifferentiated fever, and up 2 25% have #neurological complications. 1m cases/year mostly in SE Asia. ceftriaxone/acyclovir don't work, doxy/azithro reduce complications @encephalitis #encephalitis2023.

You may have heard of the #essentialmedicines list 4 all countries to have - there's also #essentialdiagnostics list. @WHO are pushing to include #lumbarpuncture , to allow vital, rapid diagnosis of fatal brain conditions #meningitis #encephalitis @encephalitis.

#encephalitis - @WHO finds too few #neurologists around the world - 7.1/100k in high income countries, but only 0.1/100k in low income countries. @theABN_Info @ABNTrainees @encephalitis #neurology.

#encephalitis - neurological disorders are leading cause of disability worldwide, with infections (#meningitis #encephalitis) in top 10 causes. Greatest burden of disability and death borne by low/middle income countries. #neurology #internationalhealth @encephalitis @ABNTrainees.

#neuroid Always consider Brucellosis when considering #TBmeningitis (and vice versa) @RunningMadProf.
