Tele-neurology in Latin America
Neurological disorders remain a leading cause of disability across Latin America, yet access to specialist care is affected by important workforce shortages, geographic disparities, and under-resourced health systems. Tele-neurology has emerged as a promising strategy to mitigate these barriers, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in rapid digital health adoption. This review article examines the development and impl…
The global rise in Parkinson's disease
IntroductionAn important challenge in neurology today is the worldwide dramatic rise in Parkinson's disease (PD) incidence. Epidemic studies over the past few decades have revealed a concerning trend: PD is not only becoming more common due to aging populations but also increasing in age-adjusted analyses, implying that demographic changes by themselves cannot explain this surge (1,2). This trend is both alarming and intellectually provocative—wh…
Neurological and mental health in the era of climate change
Climate change has become a global health emergency in recent decades, with far-reaching effects on neurological and psychiatric health; however, their relationship remains poorly understood. Climate-related phenomena impact neurological and mental health through both direct and indirect mechanisms, including progressive temperature changes and more frequent extreme weather events. This has influenced the prevalence and geographic distribution of…
Prevalence of the Arcuate Foramen
Background: The arcuate foramen (AF) is a bony bridge formed by the ossification of the atlantooccipital ligament that covers the groove of the vertebral artery (VA). It contains the VA, the suboccipital nerve and the vertebral venous plexus. Objectives: We aimed to assess and compare the frequency of the complete AF in a Chalcolithic and a contemporary Iberian Peninsula sample. Methods: We analyzed in situ the presence or absence of the AF in 34…
Multimorbidity patterns in dementia and mild cognitive impairment
The study underscores the complexity of dementia and MCI in an ageing Ecuadorian population, with vascular health playing a crucial role in cognitive impairment. These findings advocate for a holistic approach in managing dementia and MCI, emphasising the importance of addressing cardiovascular and metabolic health alongside neurocognitive care. The distinct morbidity patterns identified offer insights into tailored intervention strategies, highl…
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
Background: The emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI) will probably affect the practice for the next generation of doctors. However, the students' views on AI have not been largely investigated. Methods: An anonymous electronic survey on AI was designed for medical and dental students to explore: (1) sources of information about AI, (2) AI applications and concerns, (3) AI status as a topic in medicine, and (4) students' feelings and att…
