Hello and welcome to our Case Presentation Series! It is a series designed to combat neurophobia in medical students and trainees from different specialties. We will discuss interesting neurology cases that medical students and trainees encounter in their rotations. 

Our first episode is with Dr. Japleen Kaur, an international medical graduate from India, on a fascinating case of jerking shoulder movements in a 56-year-old lady with a history of stroke. This case also fueled Dr. Kaur's own passion for neurology! 

You can find Dr. Japleen Kaur on X at @neuroJ99

Discover the intricacies of small vessel ischemic disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) with expert neurologist Dr. Andreas Charidimou. 

We dive into the everyday challenges faced by primary care physicians interpreting MRI results, offering expertise on distinguishing small vessel disease from migraine and demyelinating conditions, all while emphasizing the importance of correlating clinical symptoms with imaging for accurate diagnoses.

Navigating cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) diagnosis, this episode sheds light on the inadequacies of the Boston criteria and the quest for reliable biomarkers. As we explore the importance of accurate CAA identification in the era of anti-amyloid therapies, we also offer insights into managing the blurred lines between transient neurological episodes, TIAs, seizures, and amyloid spells, with a special focus on the role of imaging and the nuanced prescription of anti-epileptic drugs.

Dr. Andreas Charidimou is the recipient of the 2024 Michael S. Pessin Stroke Leadership Prize.

This episode of The Neurotransmitters podcast offers an invaluable look into the latest updates to the American Academy of Neurology's guidelines for adult brain death, with our co-host Dr. Ashley Paul, a Movement Disorders neurologist at Johns Hopkins.  We shed light on the nuances of catastrophic brain injuries, the impact of sedation on prognoses, and the rigorous prerequisites necessary before a declaration of brain death.

We discuss the profound human element of our practice. It's not just about the medicine; it's about the people and their loved ones. We delve into the significance of clear communication, preparing families for potential reflexive movements during evaluation, and the process of obtaining informed consent for brain death evaluations, ensuring families are part of the journey.

Join us as we navigate these profound responsibilities with the expertise and humanity that such matters demand.

Do you often forget that the peripheral nervous system is a part of neurology? Our guest, Dr. Anishee Undavia, a seasoned neuromuscular neurologist, shines a spotlight on this enigmatic field, unraveling the complexities of diseases affecting these nerves, by dividing them into "neuromuscular buckets". 

Tune in to hear how her personal journey through the fellowship program peeled back the layers of neuromuscular medicine, exposing a field teeming with breadth and depth.

Together, we navigate the labyrinth of teaching the peripheral nervous system and brainstorm original ways to dismantle educational barriers for medical students and residents.
