$Refractory epilepsy surgery, and the paradox of autoimmune encephalitis - live from the ABN Meeting 2026$

לפני 3 ימים

Refractory epilepsy surgery, and the paradox of autoimmune encephalitis - live from the ABN Meeting 2026

In this special episode coming live from the Association of British Neurologists (ABN) annual meeting in Birmingham, Practical Neurology co-editors Phil Smith and Geraint Fuller join hosts Ruth Wood and Babak Soleimani to discuss the perennial clinical and educational value of case reports in which, in a rare event, the patients are actually referred to directly by their first names. The team discusses two compelling, patient-centered narratives. They look at a complex case of refractory focal epilepsy from 2024 where the patient actively partnered in the high-stakes decision to balance seizure freedom against a predicted post-surgical motor deficit. A review of a poignant "Me and My Neurological Illness" piece written in 2016 by a prominent epileptologist is a reflection on his subtle subacute presentation of autoimmune encephalitis, how a doctor's baseline cognitive reserve can mask complex focal seizures, and the unique clinical and personal challenges faced when dealing with medical colleagues who lack diagnostic insight into their own condition. Archive papers discussed in this episode: Case Report 1: Complicated epilepsy surgery: importance of balancing benefit and deficit. https://pn.bmj.com/content/24/5/393 Case Report 2: Me and my neurological illness. Autoimmune limbic encephalitis due to VGKC-Ab. Thanks for the memory. Leo Robin (Title of song, 1937). https://pn.bmj.com/content/16/2/162 Read the full papers on Practical Neurology.

Combined delivery catheters vs. traditional aspiration in stroke thrombectomy

Optimising mechanical thrombectomy speed and efficiency remains a primary focus in acute ischemic stroke management. In this episode, JNIS Editor, Dr. Michael Chen, talks with Dr. Keiko Fukuda, a neurointerventional fellow at UCLA and practising neurointerventionalist in Monterey, California, and Dr. Victor Szeder, Professor of Radiology, Neurology, and Neurosurgery and Director of the Neurointerventional Fellowship at UCLA. They talk about their multi-centre paper, "Faster reperfusion with combined delivery catheter systems and aspiration first stroke thrombectomy: a multicenter analysis" (https://jnis.bmj.com/content/early/2026/06/19/jnis-2025-024700). The authors discuss data comparing combined delivery catheter systems against standard aspiration setups, highlighting significantly faster times from groin puncture to clot contact and an impressive 67% first-pass effect. They also share key clinical insights on overcoming severe arterial tortuosity. Please subscribe to the JNIS podcast on your favourite platform to get the latest podcast every month.

Drug-induced seizures, limb-shaking, and holistic myasthenia treatment - Editors' Highlights June 2026

The latest highlights from the journal are set to give confidence when trying something new. In this podcast for the June 2026 issue of Practical Neurology, co-editors Phil Smith and Geraint Fuller bring a distillation of the wisdom found in the journal's pages. They explain the crucial role of a Zeitgeber for healthy sleep cycles, question the involvement of drugs like SSRIs in seizures, and share a transatlantic follow-up to the ABN myasthenia gravis guidelines which provides an approach to optimising over all patient well-being. There's also a guide to recent treatment of Parkinson's using foslevodopa-foscarbidopa infusion, also known as Produodopa. Then the editors explore the structure of the retina while touching on optic neuritis, and finish with limb-shaking transient ischaemic attacks, an early warning signal for stroke. Listen to the very end for some editorial insight into practical uses for the podcast itself!

Children are bypassing the Australian social media ban

Australia has been in the vanguard of legislation to try and reduce the influence of social media on children and young people - their ban for under 16s was introduced on the 10th of December 2025, to great fanfare, and a lot of interest around the world. But how effective are these bans at keeping children away from social media? New research just published on BMJ.com has looked at that question of efficacy - finding that children are using the most simple tactics to evade the ban. To dicuss what that means, we're joined by two of the authors of that research Courtney Barnes and Luke Wolfenden from the University of Newcastle, Australia. We’re also joined by Amrit Purba, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Louise Holly, from the Digital Transformations for Health Lab, in Geneva, who have written commentaries to go with that research. Reading list Assessing early effects of Australia’s Social Media Minimum Age Act on adolescents’ social media use Learning from Australia’s social media age restriction policy Early data from Australia indicate that social media companies can’t be relied on to protect children
