Neurologists' Evaluations of Experience and Effectiveness of Teleneurology Encounters.
Telemed J E Health
March 2023
To better understand neurologists' assessments of the experiences and effectiveness of teleneurology encounters. After completing an audio-video telehealth visit with verbally consenting patients, neurologists recorded their evaluations of the encounter. Data were analyzed using standard quantitative and qualitative techniques.

Background: The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has transformed health care. With the need to limit COVID-19 exposures, telemedicine has become an increasingly important format for clinical care. Compared with other fields, neuro-ophthalmology faces unique challenges, given its dependence on physical examination signs that are difficult to elicit outside the office setting.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 4530 critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to three tertiary care hospitals in New York City from March 1 to June 30, 2020 to identify patients who had more than one brain MRI. We reviewed the initial and final MRI for each patient to (1) measure the percent change in the bicaudate index and third ventricular diameter and (2) evaluate changes in the presence and severity of white matter changes.
Objective: The Mobile Universal Lexicon Evaluation System (MULES) is a rapid picture naming task that captures extensive brain networks involving neurocognitive, afferent/efferent visual, and language pathways. Many of the factors captured by MULES may be abnormal in sleep-deprived residents. This study investigates the effect of sleep deprivation in post-call residents on MULES performance.

- - The Mobile Universal Lexicon Evaluation System (MULES) is a quick picture naming test that assesses various brain networks and highlights visual processing issues in conditions like concussion, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease (PD).
- - A study comparing MULES performance between 51 PD patients and 20 healthy controls found that PD patients had significantly slower naming times and that this delay correlated with the severity of their motor symptoms.
- - Additionally, PD patients showed greater improvement in their MULES scores between two trials compared to controls, suggesting notable learning effects in this population.
