Results from both CCNN and expert features are combined using the stacking technique as the final classification result. The method has been validated against the first China ECG Intelligence Challenge, obtaining a final score of 86.5% for classifying 12‑lead ECG data with multiple labels into 9 categories.We present a case of a patient who suffered subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), complicated by takotsubo syndrome, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and ECG repolarisation abnormality, compatible with Brugada phenocopy. The early repolarisation morphology showed a paradox association with the cardiac cycle length; a relationship not yet documented in SAH. Our observation also sheds light on the genesis of the "spiked helmet" ECG sign.Though infections account for a significant proportion of patients with ocular motor palsies, there is surprising paucity of literature on infectious ophthalmoplegias. Almost all types of infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) can lead to ocular motor palsies. The causative infectious agent can be diagnosed in most cases using an orderly stepwise approach. In this review we discuss how to approach a patient with ophthalmoplegia with main focus on infectious etiologies.

Parkinson's Disease-related Psychosis (PDP) encompasses a spectrum of symptoms ranging from "minor" hallucinations to formed hallucinations and delusions. Notably, cognitive impairment has been recognized as the strongest risk factor for PDP. Several evidences suggest a possible role of cigarette smoking in both cognition and psychotic syndromes.

To evaluate the possible independent association between cigarette smoking and PDP in a large cohort of non-demented PD patients.

A cohort of non-demented PD patients was selected from the FRAGAMP study population. All participants underwent a standardised structured questionnaire to assess demographic, clinical and environmental exposure data. Clinical features were assessed using UPDRS, HY stage, AIMS, MMSE and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression. Presence of psychotic symptoms was assessed using UPDRS-I.2 score. Diagnosis of PDP was made according to NINDS/NIMH criteria.

Four hundred eighty-five non-demented PD patients were enrolled [292 men (60.2%); mean age±SD 65.6±9.8]. Among them, 28 (5.8%) had PDP. Multivariate analysis, adjusting by HY stage, MMSE and LED, shown an independent association between PDP and "nightmares-abnormal movements during sleep" and current smoking [adjOR 7.39 (95%CI 1.45-37.69; P-value 0.016)].

Our findings provide interesting insights about the possible role of current smoking in facilitating the occurrence of psychotic symptoms in PD.

Our findings provide interesting insights about the possible role of current smoking in facilitating the occurrence of psychotic symptoms in PD.Background Recognizing the post-stroke fracture risk factors is crucial for targeted intervention and primary fracture prevention. We aimed to investigate whether stroke types, stroke severity, and pre-stroke osteoporosis are associated with post-stroke fracture. Methods In a nationwide cohort, we identified previously fracture-free patients who suffered from first-ever stroke, either acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), between 2003 and 2015. Information regarding stroke severity, osteoporosis, comorbidity, and medication information was collected. The outcomes analyzed included hip fracture, spine fracture, and other fractures. Cumulative incidence functions (CIFs) were used to estimate the cumulative incidence of fractures over time after accounting for competing risk of death. Multivariable Fine and Gray models were used to determine the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Of the 41,895 patients with stroke, the 5-year CIFs of any incident fracture, hip fracture, spine fracture, and other fractures were 8.03%, 3.42%, 1.87%, and 3.05%, respectively. The fracture risk did not differ between patients with AIS and ICH. While osteoporosis increased the risk of post-stroke fracture (adjusted HR [95% CI],1.42 [1.22-1.66]), stroke severity was inversely associated with post-stroke fracture (moderate, 0.88 [0.81-0.96] and severe, 0.39 [0.34-0.44], compared with mild stroke severity). Conclusions Stroke survivors had an over 8% fracture risk at 5 years after stroke. Mild stroke severity and osteoporosis were significantly associated with post-stroke fracture risk, whereas stroke type was not. Our results call for effective measures for bone health screening and fracture prevention in patients with stroke.The Global burden of disease study ranked migraine as the sixth most common disorder worldwide in 2016, with significant social and economic sequelae. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of different Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor blockers as potential pharmacological approaches and compare them to placebo using the systematic review (SR) and network meta-analysis (NMA) approach. We performed a computerized search of SCOPUS, PubMed, Cochrane central, and Embase databases through January 2019 and included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which were performed on episodic and chronic migraine patients who used Erenumab, Eptinezumab, Fremanezumab, or Galcanezumab. The combined analysis revealed that after six, eight, and twelve weeks of intervention, the medications with the most potent effects in comparison to placebo were Fremanezumab 900 mg, (SMD = -0.55, 95% CI [-0.97, -0.12]); Erenumab 140 mg, (SMD = -0.51, 95% CI [-0.61, 0.41]); and Erenumab 140 mg, (SMD = -0.48, 95% CI [-0.571, 0.39]), respectively. Src inhibitor For chronic migraine patients, Fremanezumab 900 mg, Erenumab 140 mg, in addition to Erenumab 70 mg, were associated with the highest efficacy after 6, 8, and 12 weeks, correspondingly. The analysis of combined groups data (Chronic and Episodic) showed that Fremanezumab was the most effective drug after six weeks, where Erenumab was the most effective after 8 and 12 weeks. The current evidence retrieved from this NMA suggests that Fremanezumab was the most effective anti-migraine medication in decreasing MHDs per month after six weeks in both chronic and episodic patients.
