TL;DR: This first population-based incidence study of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes found an incidence of PNS that approximates 1/100,000 person-years and a prevalence of 4/ 100,000, probably due to increased awareness and improved detection techniques.

TL;DR: The most common n-irAEs reports were myositis (136/428, 32%), Guillain-Barre syndrome and other peripheral neuropathies (94/428 and 22%), myasthenic syndromes (58/ 428, 14%), encephalitis (56/684, 13%), cranial neuropathia (31/428), 7%), meningitis (13/684), 3%), CNS demyelinating diseases (8/428 2%), and myelitis (7/684 2%) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The frequency of GBS cases during the March–April months of the last three years is re-examine and the association with the descending slope of SARS-CoV-2 infection is evaluated, since the specificity and sensitivity of these tests are not yet completely assessed and the exact slope of the humoral immune response curve to this new virus is still unknown.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stress hyperglycemia, as measured by the GAR index, is associated to worse outcome in AIS patients undergoing IVT.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported clinical and electroneuromyographic (ENMG) characteristics of patients affected by severe COVID-19 infection, evaluated for muscular weakness, and found that neuromuscular involvement was frequent in patients with ICU-acquired weakness and cannot be excluded by MRC sum scores above 48.
