Introduction Neurological diseases can be due to direct diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) or peripheral nervous system (PNS) or be a bystander syndrome of systemic diseases. Treatment options depend on the cause. Toxic, metabolic and nutritional, and immune-mediated consequences of clinically occult neoplasms produce a spectrum of neurological diseases, recognition of which has therapeutic and prognostic importance. Patients and Methods Children, as well as adults who presented to the authors in the last 5 years with neurological diseases and later their diseases could be diagnosed or attributed to neoplasms which were occult, were included for the study. Observation 28 patients were seen by the authors in the last 5 years with neurological manifestation and hidden tumor. Maximum incidence was in the age of above 60 years followed by the age group of 21-40 years. The commonest neurological presentation was muscle and nerve in adults and seizure in children. Discussion Short duration, rapid progression, severe weight loss, and poor response to treatment given for nontumor associated neurological syndrome are the red flags which point to the diagnosis. Conclusion Seizures and psychosis formed the commonest features in children, muscle and nerve in adults. Short duration, rapid progression, and resistance to treatment are the markers for possible underlying neoplasm.Introduction Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a major cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and cognitive decline in the elderly. Since it is rarely reported from the developing world, we looked into the clinical profile and neuroimaging associations of CAA. Materials and Methods Ours was a retrospective case series of subjects diagnosed with probable/possible CAA between January 2006 and December 2015 as per Boston criteria. Clinical profile and neuroimaging were reviewed for markers of CAA. Details of any recurrent clinical events and functional status were collected from follow-up records. Results We had 28 subjects in the series with men outnumbering women, and the mean age was 70.17 ± 8.85 years (55-87 years). At the initial presentation, ICH was most frequent-10/28 (35.7%) patients, followed by transient neurological events (TNE = 25%) and cognitive disturbances (21.4%). Less than half of the patients received a diagnosis of CAA at the initial presentation itself. In total, 68% of our patients had cognitive dysfunction at admission. In our series, 12 had seizures and 9 had a history of TNE. The majority of our patients had vascular risk factors also. Leukoaraiosis showed an association with cognitive dysfunction (P = 0.044). Superficial siderosis and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) showed a positive association with seizures and TNE, respectively. However, ICH showed no association with risk factors or imaging markers of CAA. Conclusions CAA patients, with a high prevalence of vascular risk factors mostly presented with ICH. The presence of SAH and superficial siderosis on MRI was associated with presentation as TNE and seizures, respectively.Background Neurology services in rural and semi-urban part of India are very limited, due to poor infrastructure, resources, and manpower. Tele-neurology consultations at a non-urban setup can be considered as an alternative and innovative approach and have been quite successful in developed countries. Therefore, an initiative to bridge this health gap through Tele-Medicine has been taken by the Government of India. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/crenolanib-cp-868596.html Aim To study the sociodemographic and clinical profiles of patients who have received collaborative Tele-Neurology consultations from the Tele-Medicine Centre, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru. Methodology We reviewed case files of such patients between December 2010 and March 2017. A total 189 collaborative tele-neurology outpatient consultations were provided through the Tele-Medicine Centre, located at a tertiary hospital-based research centre in southern India. Results The mean age of the patients was 39.6 (±19) years and 65.6% were aged between 19 to 60 years; 50.8% were male. The most common diagnosis was a seizure disorder in 17.5%, followed by cerebrovascular accident/stroke in 14.8%. Interestingly, 87.3% were found to benefit from tele-neurology consultations using interventions such as a change of medications in 30.1%, referral to a specialist for review in 15.8%, and further evaluation of illness and inpatient care for 7.93%. Conclusion This study has demonstrated the successful implementation of outpatient-based collaborative tele neurology consultation in Karnataka.Context A well-established cell line of hemangioblastomas (HBs) is still lacking. Aim This study aims to explore a stable way to establish primary cell lines of HB stromal cells and investigate the morphological and molecular features of these cells. Patients and Methods Specimens of HBs from 13 patients were collected for establishment of primary cell lines of stromal cells. The details on cell culture were described, and the characterizations of cultured cells were conducted by morphological observation, immunocytochemical staining of inhibin-α, brachyury, CD133, CD34, GFAP, CD31, NeuN, CD45, Oligo2, and transmission electron microscopy. Results Eleven cases were successfully cultured with a success rate of 84.6%. The cultured cells survived for 10 generations with an estimated doubling time of 77.2 ± 5.89 h. Light microscopy revealed that these cells showed vigorous growth status and presented as polygons or trigons with significant heterogeneity. The immunocytochemical staining showed that inhibin-α, brachyury, CD133, and CD34 were expressed in all the cultured cells, whereas the expression of GFAP, CD31, NeuN, CD45, and Oligo2 was all negative. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the cultured cells were stromal cells with typical lipid droplets. The phenomenon of lysosomal autophagy was commonly observed without apoptotic cells in late stage. Conclusion Appropriate selection of tumor specimens, short duration of devascularization, ideal digestion time, and nutritious medium are critical points for establishment of primary cell line of HB stromal cells. Stromal cells from both von Hippel-Lindau disease-related HBs and sporadic HBs might originate from embryologically arrested hemangioblasts.
