    Abstract This chapter describes advances in understanding the clinical features of dystonia since initial clinical recognition and its organization into a coherent and systematic clinical set. The clinical features of dystonia were at first considered an odd neurological movement disorder. Etymology of the word misleadingly underlined muscle tone. The main clinical features of dystonia were recognized gradually. They encompass dystonic movements, dystonic postures, alleviating maneuvers, overflow and mirroring. These features are observed in patients who present a variety of syndromes where dystonia occurs in isolation or combined with other movement disorders, or with other neurologic or systemic features. A large number of syndromic combinations is observed in the clinic and some of the syndomes are highlighted here. Practitioners are required to exert dedicated skills to recognize dystonia and correctly diagnose and classify their patients.

    Abstract Background: The term dystonic tremor is being increasingly used in neurological publications despite uncertainties about its meaning. We provide here a historical reconstruction from its original introduction in 1984 to help distinguish dystonia from essential tremor.
    Methods: A comprehensive Pubmed search of MeSH terms "dystonia", "tremor", and "essential tremor" provided the information base for reconstructing historical usage of the term "dystonic tremor".
    Results: Over the years, this expression was enriched of additional meanings and sided by companion descriptors, such as tremor associated with dystonia. Dystonic tremor has been considered characteristically coarse, jerky, irregular, directional and asymmetrical. These characteristics, however, are not included in the most recent definitions of tremor. The relationship between tremor and dystonia is not easy to untangle, as the two phenomena are often recognized in association. Tremor and dystonia experts have developed different visions of dystonic tremor that have been variably implemented. There are currently two independent consensus definitions, which are not coincident and imply different pathophysiological interpretations.
    Conclusions: This historical reappraisal highlights that usage of the expression dystonic tremor has evolved over time to lose its original meaning. Notwithstanding inconsistencies of current definitions, its usage has steadily increased and it is time now to agree on an updated terminology.

    Abstract This article describes the implementation of a diabetes technology educational program targeting continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) adoption that significantly increased utilization of CGM in the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of Florida. The author proposes that diabetes care and education specialists (DCESs) are uniquely positioned in the health care ecosystem to serve as diabetes technology champions. The article provides a step-by-step roadmap that DCESs and clinicians can use as they lead efforts to expand CGM adoption and durable use.

    Abstract Background: The clinical features and outcomes of post-COVID parkinsonism have not been organized systematically, and the possible correlations between COVID-19 and parkinsonism have not been elucidated. This scoping review addresses these two unmet needs.
    Methods: We searched two databases (Pubmed, Embase) for all published cases of post-COVID parkinsonism. Data were extracted from eligible studies using standardized forms and predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients' clinical features, their diagnosis and outcomes were assessed objectively.
    Results: Twenty-six cases of post-COVID parkinsonism were reported in 17 publications. Their presenting features were grouped into three clinical syndromes: typical parkinsonian motor syndrome (12 patients), parkinsonism with postural instability and gait disorder (three), or encephalopathy with parkinsonism (10). Patients had the following diagnoses: clinically established Parkinson's disease (PD, three cases), clinically probable PD (eight), clinically probable multiple system atrophy (one), acquired parkinsonism (six), unclassified parkinsonism (eight). Isolated parkinsonian motor syndromes typically followed uncomplicated COVID-19 illness or pneumonia; instead, encephalopathy with parkinsonism was observed following a wide spectrum of COVID-19-related presentations, including severe forms. PD cases mainly occurred following uncomplicated COVID-19, whereas acquired or unclassified parkinsonism were reported following different COVID-19 presentations.
    Conclusions: Patients with uncomplicated COVID-19 are more likely to present PD and no signs of encephalopathy. There is no demonstration of a causative role of COVID-19, which can be coincidental in several cases. Patients with encephalopathy and parkinsonism constitute a distinct subset, suggesting a potentially different pathogenic role of SARS-CoV-2 infection. These findings provide a basis for further studies in the post-pandemic phase.

  9. Article: Clipping of Anterior Circulation Aneurysms: Operative Instructions and Safety Rules for Young Cerebrovascular Surgeons.

    Abstract Introduction: Due to the constant development of the technique, in the last 30 years, the endovascular treatment of the intracranial aneurysms (IAs) has gradually superseded the traditional surgery in the majority of centers. However, clipping still represents the best treatment for some anterior circulation IAs according to their angioarchitectural, topographical, and hemodynamic characteristics. Thus, the identification of residual indications for clipping and the maintenance of training programs in vascular neurosurgery appear nowadays more important than ever.
    Materials and methods: We reviewed our last 10-year institutional experience of ruptured and unruptured IAs clipping. We appraised in detail all technical refinements we adopted during this time span and analyzed the difficulties we met in teaching the aneurysm clipping technique to residents and fellows. Then, we described the algorithm of safety rules we used to teach young neurosurgeons how to surgical approach anterior circulation IAs and develop a procedural memory, which may intervene in all emergency situations.
    Results: We identified seven pragmatic technical key points for clipping of the most frequent anterior circulation IAs and constructed a didactic approach to teach young cerebrovascular surgeons. In general, they concern craniotomy; cisternostomy; obtaining proximal control; cranial nerve, perforator, and vein preservation; necessity of specific corticectomy; aneurysm neck dissection; and clipping.
    Conclusion: In the setting of an IA clipping, particularly when ruptured, the young cerebrovascular surgeon needs to respect an algorithm of safety rules, which are essential not only to avoid major complications, but they may intervene during the difficulties helping to manage potentially life-tethering conditions.

  10. Article: Case report: Fluctuating tumor markers in a boy with gonadotropin-releasing hormone-independent precocious puberty induced by a pineal germ cell tumor.

    Abstract GnRH-independent precocious puberty (GIPP) can be the presenting clinical picture experienced by patients with secreting germ cell tumor (GCT). Indeed, as luteinizing hormone (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) share identical α-subunits and similar β-subunits, an increased secretion of β-hCG may result in a precocious activation of Leydig cells. Though the co-occurrence of raised β-hCG levels and signs of precocious virilization usually prompts a complete oncological work-up, the diagnostic and therapeutic management of GCT-induced GIPP may be challenging. We report the case of a 6.2 year-old boy presenting with clinical and biochemical findings consistent with GIPP (discrepancy between overt virilization and pre-pubertal testicular volume, suppressed gonadotropins and remarkably raised testosterone). Brain imaging detected a bilobed cyst of the pineal gland, while serum and cerebrospinal baseline assessment initially ruled out raised alpha-fetoprotein or β-hCG levels. Nevertheless, a strict biochemical follow-up highlighted a fluctuant trend of tumor markers, with a more aggressive behavior and recurrent erections occurring as a result of unpredictable phases of raised testosterone and serum/cerebrospinal β-hCG, followed by sudden spontaneous decrease. Accordingly, a secreting pineal GCT was suspected. Given the fluctuating trend of tumor markers, surgery was initially kept on hold and a combined treatment with bicalutamide (androgen receptor blocker) and anastrozole (aromatase inhibitor) was undertaken in order to prevent the patient from experiencing further virilization and excessive bone age maturation. Subsequently, a progression in the size of the pineal tumor prompted surgical resection and a diagnosis of secreting GCT was histologically confirmed. Accordingly, the patient was started on adjuvant chemo- and radiotherapy. Antineoplastic treatment was followed by persistent and remarkable decrease of tumor markers and by a complete pubertal arrest. We reported the challenging diagnosis of a secreting pineal GCT in a patient with GIPP and a fluctuating trend of tumor markers, testosterone levels and associated clinical signs, hence prompting the indication for a systematic assessment and a strict monitoring whenever a patient with GnRH-independent precocious puberty shows clinical or radiological markers potentially consistent with a GCT.
