It's #HHT Awareness Month. Here's a great article on HHT, "When a Nosebleed Isn't Just a Nosebleed." Columbia's HHT Center Treats an Underdiagnosed Disorder. Most of the time, nosebleeds are harmless, but when they run in the family, recur frequently, or are accompanied by tiny red spots on the skin, they may indicate a rare, genetic condition called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Because HHT is rare and nosebleeds are common, the disorder often goes undiagnosed until complications occur. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/da74qBZJ

🧠✨ Understanding #PicksDisease: A brief overview 🤔💡 Pick's disease (PiD), also known as frontotemporal dementia (FTD), is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that primarily impacts the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. These areas control personality, behavior, and language, making Pick's disease unique in its manifestations. 🔄❓ Navigating life with Pick's disease can be challenging for both individuals and their loved ones. PiD patients are particularly difficult to deal with due to their stereotypic and immoral social behavior. Patients may show inappropriate and often sexual attitudes towards caregivers. These challenges can be managed through proper training of caregivers and mood-stabilizing drugs. 🤝💙 Dive deeper into the intricacies of Pick's disease by exploring our latest blog post @ https://lnkd.in/gJkzAU_C 📖 #PickDiseaseAwareness #NeurologyInsights #BrainHealth #SupportEachOther #InThisTogether #NeurologyInsights #FrontotemporalDementia #NeurodegenerativeDisease #FrontalLobes #PickCells #PrimaryProgressiveAphasia #MAPTGene #TauProtein #HyperphosphorylatedTau #Bhimar #LifeSciences #Healthcare #Informations #Omics #Surgery #Radiotherapy #Chemotherapy #Immunotherapy 🧠💙

#ASRS2023: Inflammatory bowel disease may increase the risk of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), according to a paper presented at the ASRS – American Society of Retina Specialists meeting, held in Seattle, July 28 to August 1, 2023. Researcher Marc Mardelli, MD, a resident at the University of Missouri-Kansas City led a research team in exploring correlations between CRVO and Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. https://fal.cn/3AuF6 #InflammatoryBowelDisease #CentralRetinalVeinOcclusion #CRVO #CrohnDisease #UlcerativeColitis #Ophthalmology #EyeHealth #EyeCare

Ophthopedia Update:Cranial nerve involvement, visual complications and headache syndromes in Lyme disease: Purpose of review To provide a summary of the visual manifestations and cranial neuropathies seen in Lyme disease. Recent findings Lyme facial palsy remains the most common manifestation of Lyme neuroborreliosis. Recent investigations show likely evidence of vagal involvement in Lyme disease. Summary The literature on Lyme neuroborreliosis continues to evolve. Lyme disease can affect nearly any cranial nerve in addition to causing various headache syndromes. The most common manifestation is Lyme disease facial palsy, occurring in up to 5–10% of patients with documented Lyme disease. Headache syndromes are common in the context of facial palsy but can occur in isolation, and more specific headache syndromes including trigeminal and geniculate neuralgias can occur rarely. Signs and symptoms indicative of vestibulocochlear nerve involvement are relatively common, although it could be that these represent other vestibular involvement rather than a specific cranial neuropathy. Optic neuritis is a controversial entity within Lyme disease and is likely overdiagnosed, but convincing cases do exist. Physicians who see any cranial neuropathy, including optic neuritis, in an endemic area can consider Lyme disease as a possible cause. #Ophthalmology #Eye #Ophthotwitter

✨Extremely proud of the team and work published today describing our observations regarding differences in intracranial aneurysm disease between males and females. In short: Females are twice as likely to have intracranial aneurysms and more likely to have multiple aneurysms. (This we knew ;-) ) The distribution of IA according to location is different with more Acom aneurysms in males and more proximal ICA aneurysms in women. The risk of rupture as a function of location and size are similar between males and females with the exception of Acom aneurysms that are more likely to rupture in males as compared to females. Quitting smoking and treating Arterial Blood Pressure is more effective in stabilising the disease in female as compared to males. The histological grade corrected for location of aneurysms domes obtained after surgical clipping is more severe in males as compared to females. We conclude that the sex differences in the disease most probably result from sex dependant differences in vessel wall structure, differences in vessel wall injury mechanisms and vessel wall repair. We highly recommend to explore the potential effect of those differences on the clinical management of the disease.

#hypertension in a silent killer for all neurovascular diseases, and its effect on all (stroke, ICH, SAH, etc) is much stronger in females compared to males. Nicely done @neurIST - Quitting smoking and treating Arterial Blood Pressure is more effective in stabilizing the disease in female as compared to males. https://lnkd.in/gFDGrqeT #lifestylemedicine #brainhealth
