Inflammatory Biomarkers and Intracranial Hemorrhage after Endovascular Thrombectomy.
...Published in The Canadian journal of neurological sciences. Le journal canadien des sciences neurologiques
Intracranial hemorrhage after endovascular thrombectomy is associated with poorer prognosis compared with those who do not develop the complication. Our study aims to determine predictors of post-EVT hemorrhage - more specifically, inflammatory biomarkers present in baseline serology. We performed a retrospective review of consecutive patients trea...
Epilepsy and Pregnancy: An Audit of Specialized Care.
Published in The Canadian journal of neurological sciences. Le journal canadien des sciences neurologiques
Caring for women with epilepsy (WWE) during pregnancy poses unique challenges. We conducted an audit of the care our epilepsy clinic provided to pregnant WWE. We performed a retrospective study on all pregnancies followed by an epileptologist at a Canadian tertiary care centre's epilepsy clinic between January 2003 and March 2021. Among 81 pregnanc...

Leukodystrophy Due to eIF2B Mutations in Adults.
Published in The Canadian journal of neurological sciences. Le journal canadien des sciences neurologiques
Vanishing white matter disease (VWMD) due to eIF2B mutations is a common leukodystrophy characterised by childhood onset, autosomal recessive inheritance, and progressive clinical course with episodic worsening. There are no reports of genetically confirmed adult patients from India. We describe the phenotype of two adults with genetically confirme...
Comparing Stop Signal Reaction Times in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease.
...Published in The Canadian journal of neurological sciences. Le journal canadien des sciences neurologiques
To investigate the relative contributions of cerebral cortex and basal ganglia to movement stopping, we tested the optimum combination Stop Signal Reaction Time (ocSSRT) and median visual reaction time (RT) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) and compared values with data from healthy controls. Thirty-five PD pati...
3D-Printed Endoport vs. Open Surgery for Evacuation of Deep Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Published in The Canadian journal of neurological sciences. Le journal canadien des sciences neurologiques
Large-sized clinical trials have failed to show an overall benefit of surgery over medical treatment in managing spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH); less invasive techniques have shown to decrease brain injury caused by surgical manipulation in the standard open approach improving the clinical outcomes of patients. Thereby, we propose a lo...

Abnormal Intracortical Functions in Parkinson's Disease with Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behaviour Disorder.
Published in The Canadian journal of neurological sciences. Le journal canadien des sciences neurologiques
Rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) is considered to be one of the most frequent and important prodromal symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). We aimed to study the neurophysiological abnormalities in patients of PD-RBD and PD without RBD (PD-nRBD) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Twenty patients each of PD-RBD and PD-nR...
