TL;DR: The guideline includes data on the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of many viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoal, and helminthic etiologies of encephalitis and provides information on when specific etiologic agents should be considered in individual patients with encephalopathy.

TL;DR: Compared with the outcomes obtained in compliant NASCIS III plegic patients, the results of the present study indicate efficacy, and the FDA has given permission for enrollment of 10 additional patients.

TL;DR: Albendazole therapy, administered with or without corticosteroids, is probably effective in decreasing both long-term seizure frequency and the number of cysts demonstrable radiologically in adults and children with neurocysticercosis, and is well-tolerated.

TL;DR: Findings on T1-weighted scans include a symmetric region of low signal involving the basilar pons with sparing of the descending corticospinal tracts as well as the peripheral pontine tissues.

TL;DR: Using MRI, 31 children with NF-1 were studied and the presence of areas of increased signal with learning difficulties or incoordination was found to have no association, which suggests that either these areas ofincreased signal are heterotopias which are not associated with learning difficulty or inco ordination, or they are not relevant to the study of learning problems or incoORDination in children withNF-1.
