The Neurology Minute® podcast delivers a brief daily summary of what you need to know in the field of neurology, the latest science focused on the brain, and timely topics explored by leading neurologists and neuroscientists. From the American Academy of Neurology and hosted by Stacey Clardy, MD, PhD, FAAN, with contributions by experts from the Neurology® journals, Neurology Today®, Continuum®, and more.
Neurology, emergency medicine and radiology teams get a concise appraisal of very-late thrombectomy in large vessel occlusion stroke. The episode keeps last known well, deficit severity, perfusion mismatch, infarct core, collateral status, functional outcome, symptomatic haemorrhage and mortality in the same decision frame.
Neurology and critical-appraisal listeneres get a concise phase 3 trial update in relapsing MOG antibody-associated disease. The blinded, placebo-controlled study reports an approximately 68% reduction in relapses over about two years, while emphasising that a relative treatment effect does not guarantee an individual response or immediate implementation.
Neurology trainees and educators get a concise professional-development item on translating online learning into clinical practice. Diverse case exposure can support pattern recognition and professional identity formation when new approaches are checked against patient context, evidence, local standards and supervision.
Neurology and critical-appraisal readers get a concise lesson in interpreting claims-based access data. Coded encounters can estimate waiting intervals, but they do not confirm referral dates, urgency, rural access or the subspecialty expertise of the neurologist providing care.
Neurology trainees and medical educators get a concise professional-development item on virtual communities and professional identity formation. Purposeful online engagement may move into real-world mentorship, research collaborations, publications and conference presentations.
Clinicians arranging neurology follow-up get a concise lesson in interpreting access data. A wide gap between median and mean waiting times signals a skewed distribution with prolonged delays for some patients, making referral urgency, deterioration advice and routes back into care clinically important.
A short neurology and critical appraisal update on factor XIa inhibition after recent non-cardioembolic ischaemic stroke or high-risk TIA. It frames asundexian as a potential dual-pathway prevention strategy when added to antiplatelet therapy, while keeping mechanism, trial population, bleeding outcomes, approval status and current practice separate.
Stroke and acute medicine readers get a focused update on kidney injury after contrast exposure during thrombectomy pathways. Baseline renal function, intra-arterial contrast volume, risk prediction, nephrotoxin avoidance and repeat creatinine within 48 hours are the practical hooks.
A short neurology and general-practice update for chronic migraine complicated by medication overuse. It links monthly migraine days, acute medication-use days, structured education and early CGRP-targeted prevention, while noting that education was given in both trial groups.
An emergency neurology update for severe headache, acute migraine, vertigo and suspected raised intracranial pressure. It links prochlorperazine and nerve blocks with opioid avoidance, then uses STANDING, observed gait and optic nerve sheath ultrasound as bedside assessment tools.
