    Distinguishing autoimmune nodopathies from CIDP, with Dr. Ruth Huizinga and Dr. Maarten Titulaer

    Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) can be difficult to distinguish from autoimmune nodopathy. In this podcast, Dr. Saima Chaudhry (1) is joined from the Netherlands by Dr. Ruth Huizinga (2) and Dr. Maarten Titulaer (3), to discuss their article, "Clinical relevance of distinguishing autoimmune nodopathies from CIDP: longitudinal assessment in a large cohort". They start with explaining what an autoimmune nodopathy really is, patient features to look out for, and the typical testing process for identifying CIDP.

    Nutritional peripheral neuropathies, with Dr. Alexander Rossor

    The cause of a nutritional neuropathy may not always be obvious when first examining a patient. Restrictive diets with roots in religious practices or personal preferences will be less familiar to neurologists than issues involving bariatric surgery or diseases of malabsorption, and can present as being not overtly malnourished. A recent review in JNNP details links between B-vitamin deficiencies and peripheral neuropathy, and discusses historical trends in the occurrence of nutritional neuropathies. The review's last author, Dr. Alexander Rossor (1), joins host Dr. Saima Chaudhry (2) to talk through how to approach this diagnosis.   Read the paper here: "Nutritional peripheral neuropathies"   (1) UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, London, UK(2) Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Rhode Island, USA Please subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or find it on your platform of choice.

    Distinguishing primary from functional tics

    How often do movement disorder specialists agree when classifying tics? A recent study published in JNNP explores this question with a two-stage approach, seeking a diagnosis from experts first based on video evidence alone and then following the provision of additional clinical data. The study's last author, Dr. Christos Ganos (1), joins host Dr. Saima Chaudhry (2) to discuss the results.   Read the paper here: "Distinguishing functional from primary tics: a study of expert video assessments"    Related links: European Society for the Study of Tourette Syndrome 2022 criteria for clinical diagnosis of functional tic-like behaviours: International consensus from experts in tic disordershttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ene.15672   Tics and functional tic-like movements: can we tell them apart?https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000008372    (1) Department of Neurology (C.G.), Charité University Medicine Berlin, Germany(2) Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Rhode Island, USA Please subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or find it on your platform of choice.

    Brain Fog Demystified

    Social media platforms and clinical patient encounters are abundant in references to brain fog, but how much is it really understood? In this episode, JNNP's podcast host, Dr. Saima Chaudhry (1), speaks with Dr. Laura McWhirter (2) about her recently published article, "What is Brain Fog?"and how further understanding of this can help to better treat patients.  You can read the paper at the following link: https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/94/4/321  (1) Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Rhode Island, USA (2) Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK   Please subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or find it on your platform of choice.

    A roadmap to ALS prevention: strategies and priorities

    In this episode, JNNP's new podcast host Dr. Saima Chaudhry (1) speaks with Dr. Michael Benatar (2) about his recently published article, "A roadmap to ALS prevention: strategies and priorities". This explores a new approach to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, with an emphasis on earlier treatment before significant damage has occurred. This is important due to the limited capacity of the central nervous system to repair itself. The researchers involved sought to understand contributing factors for ALS risk, and to identify high-risk groups for further study. Note: The genetic therapy referred to as Tofersen, under review at the time of recording, has been approved by the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/news-events-human-drugs/fda-approves-treatment-amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis-associated-mutation-sod1-gene  You can read the paper at the following link: https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/94/5/399  (1) Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Rhode Island, USA (2) Department of Neurology, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL, USA   Please subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or find it on your platform of choice.

    MOGAD: Definition, diagnosis and treatment

    In this episode, JNNP's new podcast host Dr. Saima Chaudhry (1) speaks with Dr. Matteo Gastaldi (2) about Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease, or MOGAD for short. A multi-centre retrospective study, "Prognostic relevance of quantitative and longitudinal MOG antibody testing in patients with MOGAD", was recently published in JNNP, and Dr. Gastaldi is its first author. Listen to this podcast to learn what MOGAD is, its differential diagnosis and the potential pathogenesis. Plus some discussion of the use of MOG titres in predicting relapse of the disease.
