RESUMO

Objetivos: Evaluamos la presencia de trastornos del sueño en pacientes con epilepsia y analizamos su asociación con el control de las crisis.MétodosSe realizó un estudio transversal de pacientes con epilepsia reclutados consecutivamente entre septiembre de 2017 y diciembre de 2018. Los pacientes se clasificaron en 2 grupos según el control de crisis (buen control: pacientes sin crisis en las últimas 4 semanas) o mal control (pacientes con una crisis o más en las últimas 4 semanas). Se compararon variables demográficas y clínicas; insomnio, medido por el Índice de Severidad del Insomnio (ISI); somnolencia diurna excesiva, medida por la Escala de Somnolencia de Epworth (ESS); calidad del sueño, medida por el Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI); depresión, medida por el Inventario de Depresión de Beck-II (BDI-II); y calidad de vida, medida por el test de Calidad de Vida en Epilepsia (QOLIE-10).ResultadosSe incluyeron 123 pacientes. El 31,7% tenía somnolencia diurna excesiva (ESS ≥ 10), el 50,4% insomnio (ISI ≥ 10) y el 53,6% mala calidad del sueño (PSQI ≥ 5). Los factores asociados con la presencia de crisis fueron el desempleo (odds ratio [OR] = 4,7; intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC 95%]: 1,36-19,2; p = 0,02), un mayor número de fármacos antiepilépticos (OR = 5,87; IC 95%: 1,81-27,1; p < 0,001), insomnio (OR = 1,9; IC 95%: 1,1-9,3; p = 0,04) y mala calidad del sueño (OR = 2,8; IC 95%: 1,9-10,32; p = 0,01).ConclusionesLos trastornos del sueño son frecuentes en pacientes con epilepsia. El insomnio y la mala calidad del sueño se asociaron con un peor control de crisis. Estos hallazgos apoyan que los trastornos del sueño son una comorbilidad frecuente en epilepsia, especialmente en pacientes con peor control de crisis. (AU)


Objectives: This study aimed to assess the presence of sleep disorders in patients with epilepsy and to analyse their association with seizure control.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional study of patients with epilepsy, recruited consecutively between September 2017 and December 2018. Patients were classified as having good seizure control (no seizures in the last 4 weeks) or poor seizure control (at least one seizure in the last 4 weeks). We performed intergroup comparisons for demographic and clinical data, insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI]), excessive daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]), depression (Beck Depression Inventory-II [BDI-II]), and quality of life (Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory-10 [QOLIE-10]).ResultsThe sample included a total of 123 patients, of whom 31.7% had excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS ≥ 10), 50.4% had insomnia (ISI ≥ 10), and 53.6% had poor sleep quality (PSQI ≥ 5). According to our multivariate analysis, presence of seizures was associated with unemployment (odds ratio [OR] = 4.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.36-19.2; P = .02), a higher number of antiepileptic drugs (OR = 5.87; 95% CI, 1.81-27.1; P < .001), insomnia (OR = 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1-9.3; P = .04), and poor sleep quality (OR = 2.8; 95% CI, 1.9-10.32; P = .01).ConclusionsSleep disorders are common in patients with epilepsy. Insomnia and poor sleep quality were associated with poor seizure control. These findings support the hypothesis that sleep disorders constitute a significant comorbidity of epilepsy, especially in patients with poor seizure control. (AU)

RESUMO

Cognitive impairment is common in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Knowledge of the contribution of genetics to cognition in PD is increasing in the last decades. Monogenic forms of genetic PD show distinct cognitive profiles and rate of cognitive decline progression. Cognitive impairment is higher in GBA- and SNCA-associated PD, lower in Parkin- and PINK1-PD, and possibly milder in LRRK2-PD. In this review, we summarize data regarding cognitive function on clinical studies, neuroimaging, and biological markers of cognitive decline in autosomal dominant PD linked to mutations in LRRK2 and SNCA, autosomal recessive PD linked to Parkin and PINK1, and also PD linked to GBA mutations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We aimed to study subclinical non-invasive vascular markers as predictors of incident long-term cognitive impairment in a longitudinal population-based study. METHODS: The Barcelona-Asymptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerosis (AsIA) study is a population-based study that included a random sample of 933 Caucasian subjects (mean age 66 years, 64% male) with a moderate-high vascular risk and without history of stroke or dementia. Subclinical carotid and intracranial stenosis was assessed at baseline visit by cervical and transcranial color-coded duplex (TCCD) and confirmed by magnetic resonance angiography. Cervico-cerebral stenosis (CCS) was defined as the presence of extra and/or intracranial stenosis >50%. Baseline middle cerebral artery pulsatility index (MCA-PI) was measured bilaterally by TCCD, and mean PI of both sides was considered for analyses. Subjects were followed-up to determine incident long-term cognitive impairment (mild cognitive impairment or dementia). RESULTS: After a median of 7.16 [6.91-7.75] years of follow-up, 91 subjects (9.7%) developed cognitive impairment, 27 of them mild cognitive impairment, and 64 dementia. Incidence of cognitive impairment was significantly higher among subjects with subclinical CCS (21.4% versus 9% in those without CCS) and among those with mean MCA-PI>1 (13.5% versus 7.4% in those with MCA-PI<1). In multivariate Cox regression analyses, both CCS and MCA-PI>1 were independently associated with incident cognitive impairment with HR of 2.07 [1.11-3.88] and 1.58 [1.02-2.46], respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Subclinical cervico-cerebral stenosis and higher MCA-PI are non-invasive neurosonological markers of incident long-term cognitive impairment in our population.

RESUMO

AIMS: To determine the sensitivity of stroke detection by emergency medical services (EMS) and to analyse the clinical characteristics of unidentified patients with suspected stroke. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospective register of patients with suspected stroke in our area (850,000 inhabitants) from 2011 to 2017. The population that notified the EMS was selected. Of this population, patients with and without stroke code activation by the EMS were compared (EMS+ versus EMS-). Demographics, time to progression, clinical characteristics of the episode and reperfusion therapy administered were recorded. RESULTS: Of a total of 5,497 patients with suspected stroke, 2,087 alerted the EMS: 1,611 (77%) EMS+ and 476 (33%) EMS-. The EMS- patients presented lower scores on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (8 vs. 11) and a greater frequency of clinical features of the vertebrobasilar territory (14.1% vs. 8.7%) and partial hemispheric clinical features (23.5% vs. 18.4%), especially in the left hemisphere (78.1% vs. 48.4%). Reperfusion treatment was administered in 29% of EMS+ and 23% of EMS-. The time from symptom onset to treatment was 42 minutes longer in the EMS group (175 versus 133 minutes). CONCLUSIONS: The sensitivity of EMS to detect stroke patients in our series is 77%. We have identified clinical features associated with lack of sensitivity, such as vertebrobasilar territory symptoms or isolated language disorder.


TITLE: Características clínicas de los pacientes con activación de código ictus no identificados por el servicio de emergencias médicas.Objetivos. Determinar la sensibilidad de detección de ictus por parte de los servicios de emergencias médicas (SEM) y analizar las características clínicas de los pacientes con sospecha de ictus no identificados. Pacientes y métodos. Registro prospectivo de pacientes con sospecha de ictus de nuestra área (850.000 habitantes) desde 2011 hasta 2017. Se seleccionó a la población que avisó al SEM. De ésta, se compararon los pacientes con y sin activación de código ictus por parte del SEM (SEM+ frente a SEM-). Se registraron los datos demográficos, el tiempo de evolución, las características clínicas del episodio y el tratamiento de reperfusión administrado. Resultados. De un total de 5.497 pacientes con sospecha de ictus, 2.087 alertaron al SEM: 1.611 (77%) SEM+ y 476 (33%) SEM-. Los pacientes SEM- presentaron menor puntuación en la National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (8 frente a 11) y mayor frecuencia de clínica de territorio vertebrobasilar (14,1% frente a 8,7%) y de clínica hemisférica parcial (23,5% frente a 18,4%), especialmente del hemisferio izquierdo (78,1% frente a 48,4%). Se administró tratamiento de reperfusión en el 29% de los SEM+ y en el 23% de los SEM-. El tiempo desde el inicio de los síntomas hasta el tratamiento fue 42 minutos más largo en el grupo de pacientes SEM- (175 frente a 133 minutos). Conclusiones. La sensibilidad del SEM para detectar pacientes con ictus en nuestra serie es del 77%. Hemos identificado características clínicas asociadas a la falta de sensibilidad, como los síntomas de territorio vertebrobasilar o el trastorno de lenguaje aislado.

RESUMO

Ischemic stroke is the most common neurological complication of cardiac catheterization resulting in a high morbidity and mortality. We present a 44-year-old man admitted for vasospastic angina that suffered a right middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion after a cardiac catheterization. Mechanical thrombectomy was indicated and complete arterial recanalization was achieved. The material obtained showed a fragment of a healthy artery. Partial radial endarterectomy and cerebral embolization may be a rare complication of cardiac catheterization.
