Article Abstract
Antibodies against complexes of GM1:GalC are detected in multifocal motor neuropathy. Previous studies used different techniques, explaining disparities in the results. Antibodies against GM1 and GM1:GalC with different proportions of GalC were measured with both glycoarray and ELISA in 20 multifocal motor neuropathies, and 45 controls. The 1:5 ratio and the 1:1 ratio of GM1:GalC (weight ratio) were respectively the most effective for glycoarray and for ELISA. Testing for anti-GM1:GalC antibodies increased the sensitivity from 40% with anti-GM1 antibodies to 65% with array and 60% with ELISA without loss in specificity (above 91%). Anti-GM1:GalC antibodies are effective biological tools to diagnose multifocal motor neuropathy.

Autoimmune neuropathies, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), are rare, disabling disorders. Diagnosis, follow-up and treatment of autoimmune neuropathies rely almost exclusively on clinical parameters, and the available therapies, such as intravenous immunoglobulins and corticosteroids, date from >30 years ago. The lack of therapeutic progress in autoimmune neuropathies has resulted from a combination of limited understanding of their pathophysiology, disease heterogeneity and challenges in trial design.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) are among the most common immune-mediated neuropathies, characterized by a chronic, disabling disease course. While depression significantly impacts outcomes in various neurological disorders, its risk remains underexplored in patients with CIDP or MMN. This study aimed to investigate the association between CIDP or MMN and new-onset depression using a nationwide cohort in South Korea.

Polyomavirus (PyV) encephalitis is a rare but life-threatening opportunistic infection linked to progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML). We analysed 54 patients diagnosed with PyV encephalitis after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in a 1:4 case-control retrospective cohort study. Median time to diagnosis was 77 days post-HSCT, with seizures, headache and motor dysfunction as the most common presenting symptoms.

Background And Objectives: Dystonia is the third most common movement disorder. Motor and non-motor manifestations of dystonia may impact Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), with lower HRQoL scores compared to the healthy population. People with generalized dystonia report worse HRQoL scores (vs.

Developmental dyslexia (DD) is the most common form of specific learning disorders (SLDs). From a neurocognitive point of view, dyslexic reading is associated with atypical neurofunctional patterns in the left hemisphere, mainly in the posterior areas linked to lexical access and phonological processing. Nowadays, rehabilitation treatments do not aim to fix the disorder but rather improve adaptive skills.
