Hello, everyone.

And today I have a real treat speaking with Matthew Gusler, an assistant professor of neurology at The Ohio State University

and a former vascular neurology fellow with us here at the University of Virginia,

who is going to be talking with us about a paper published recently in the journal Neurology titled Trends.

and emergent interfacility ischemic stroke transfers from 2016 to 2022.

Welcome to the Neurology Podcast.

I'm Matthew Barrett, Professor of Neurology at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.

Today I'm joined by Lon Lewis, Professor and Chair of Neurology at UT Southwestern.

We're going to be discussing his recent paper published in Neurology titled, Estimates of Incidence and Prevalence of Conversions to Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in Patients with Essential Tremor.

Alon, welcome to the podcast.

So straightforward, but that's just not how it works.

For anybody who's listened to some of our Rich in Neuro podcasts, she talked about why we collect CSF in addition to an MRI.

Because I've heard, I try really hard, right, not to check in the small animal people, but I mean, you deserve a vacation sometimes, so...

I'll do my part.

Welcome to our Neurology Today in 5 podcast, offering article highlights from the official news source of the American Academy of Neurology.

All of the stories in Neurology Today are reviewed by our editorial board of neurology experts.

Hello, and welcome to Neurology Today in 5.

I'm Dr. Joe Safdie, Editor-in-Chief.

Today, I'd like to highlight three stories in the October 15th issue that I think might be of interest to our readers.

First, anti-seizure drug levels fall sharply in pregnancy, but individualized approach to care is essential.

A large prospective study published in Neurology provides new data on how pregnancy affects anti-seizure medication levels.

The WeCare study followed 947 women with epilepsy across 93 centers in China and found substantial declines in concentration-to-dose ratios for several commonly used medications.

I'd lost all my memory.

And I was given a leaflet on something that was called FND, which is Functional Neurological Disorder.

And I was sent home.

I was not able to walk.

We'd revise it again, and we continued this process for several rounds until we had a consensus of the large majority of people agreeing that each one of these specific things should be part of these criteria.

That led to a publication in a medical journal called Neurology, the title being the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Consensus Diagnostic Criteria for Traumatic Encephalopathy Syndrome.

So that's what we have right, and I'll go over it in a second.

But what's important at this point is to understand that these criteria that were agreed upon by all these incredible experts, we were so fortunate to have this group of people from all over.

Hello, my name is Kate Neville.

Today, I am interviewing Katharina Schmidbauer on her article, Clinical Manifestations of Primary CNS T-Cell Lymphoma.

Welcome to the Neurology Podcast.

And Katharina, I would love to hear a little bit about you.

Thank you, Kate.

그렇죠.

하지만 만약에 팔을 안으로 돌리는 그 1초도 안 되는 찰나의 순간에요.

당신의 뇌와 근육 사이에서 정말 수백 번의 신경학적 교신이 막 오가고 있다면 어떨까요?

와, 수백 번이요?

네, 심지어 그 미세한 근육들의 점화 타이밍, 그러니까 근육이 켜지는 순서가 0.1초만 어긋나도 밤마다 당신을 괴롭히는 그 알 수 없는 어깨 통증의 진짜 원인이 될 수 있다면요.

오번에서 칠번 사이에서 뻗어 나오는 견갑신경이라는 하나의 신경 가지를 공유한다는 겁니다.

신경이 하나로 연결되어 있어요?

네, 신경학적으로 한 묶음으로 연결되어 있기 때문에 뇌에서 "야, 팔 돌려!" 하고 명령을 딱 내리면 이 둘이 아주 기가 막힌 타이밍으로 협응을 이뤄냅니다.

This is Neurology Recall, a collection of our most useful, practical, and educational podcasts on a wide variety of topics selected from our Neurology Podcast collection.

Whether you are new to neurology and training or have been practicing for many years, Neurology Recall is designed to help you continue to learn the essentials of neurology easily, one podcast at a time.

Hi, and welcome to the Neurology Recall for October 2026.

I'm Jeff Ratliff, the podcast deputy editor.

Hi, my name is Aaron Zalikowicz, and I'm a neuromuscular physician here at Northwell Health in New York City.

I'm really pleased to be here today with Bhaskar Roy from Yale University.

Bhaskar is the author of a neurology article titled, Comparison of the Ethicacy and Safety of Myasthenia Gravis Treatments, a Bayesian Network Meta-analysis.

In his paper, him and his authors provide a novel analysis comparing newly approved treatments for myasthenia gravis using publicly available data from published clinical trials.
