    Abstract An 18-yr-old female orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) developed opisthotonus after sustaining conspecific bite wounds 3 wk earlier. The orangutan developed progressive tetraparesis and dysphagia, despite normal mentation, suggestive of tetanus. A tetanus vaccine had been administered at 2 yr of age, but none since. Brain magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, cerebral spinal fluid tap, and bloodwork were unremarkable. Viral, Baylisascaris, and tetanus toxin testing were negative. A femoral central venous catheter (CVC) was placed to provide medications, fluids, and parenteral nutrition. The orangutan received human tetanus immunoglobulin, tetanus toxoid, penicillin, methocarbamol, and analgesia. After 1 wk, the catheterized limb became edematous; a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was diagnosed ultrasonographically. A cephalic CVC was placed, the limb casted, intravenous therapy reinitiated, and enoxaparin started. The orangutan became mobile days later, and progressively improved. Despite no compliance with enoxaparin, the DVT resolved without residual signs. This is the first reported case of presumptive tetanus and DVT in a great ape.

    Abstract Introduction: Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a syndrome of new-onset status epilepticus preceded by fever and highly refractory to treatment, thus resulting in high mortality and severe neurologic morbidity in surviving patients. Anakinra is an IL-1 receptor antagonist that has previously demonstrated efficacy in treating children with FIRES.
    Case presentation: A 21-year-old previously healthy woman presented with new-onset superrefractory status epilepticus following a febrile illness. This was subsequently diagnosed as FIRES after an extensive evaluation failed to identify an alternative etiology. The patient's seizures were refractory to numerous antiepileptic drugs and immunomodulatory therapy. She was maintained under pharmacologic sedation for 31 days.
    Management and outcome: Anakinra was initiated on day 32 of her hospital stay, with swift and complete remission of her status epilepticus. Seizures ceased within 24 hours. The patient remains in remission with minimal side effects from the medication and no known long-term morbidity.
    Discussion: Here we report what we believe is the second case of super-refractory status epilepticus due to FIRES responding to anakinra, and the first such case in an adult patient. Anakinra was well tolerated with few side effects. Our results are further evidence for the autoinflammatory nature of FIRES and support the use of anakinra early in the treatment to prevent long-term sequelae.

    Abstract Objective: To determine whether nonparetic arm force overinhibits the paretic arm in patients with chronic unilateral poststroke hemiparesis.
    Design: Case-control neurophysiological and behavioral study of patients with chronic stroke.
    Setting: Research institution.
    Participants: Eighty-six referred patients were screened to enroll 9 participants (N=9) with a >6 month history of 1 unilateral ischemic infarct that resulted in arm hemiparesis with residual ability to produce 1Nm of wrist flexion torque and without contraindication to transcranial magnetic stimulation. Eight age- and handedness-matched healthy volunteers without neurologic diagnosis were studied for comparison.
    Interventions: Not applicable.
    Main outcome measure: Change in interhemispheric inhibition targeting the ipsilesional primary motor cortex (M1) during nonparetic arm force. We hypothesized that interhemispheric inhibition would increase more in healthy controls than in patients with hemiparesis.
    Results: Healthy age-matched controls had significantly greater increases in inhibition from their active to resting M1 than patients with stroke from their active contralesional to resting ipsilesional M1 in the same scenario (20%±7% vs -1%±4%, F1,12=6.61, P=.025). Patients with greater increases in contralesional to ipsilesional inhibition were better performers on the 9-hole peg test of paretic arm function.
    Conclusions: Our findings reveal that producing force with the nonparetic arm does not necessarily overinhibit the paretic arm. Though our study is limited in generalizability by the small sample size, we found that greater active contralesional to resting ipsilesional M1 inhibition was related with better recovery in this subset of patients with chronic poststroke.
