    Abstract Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) are vulnerable during hospitalizations due to the underlying complexities o1f symptoms, and acute illness or medication changes often lead to decompensation. Complications during hospitalizations are often due to worsening motor and nonmotor symptoms and commonly result from inaccurate medication regimens. Although the accuracy of medication administration relies on an interplay of factors, including patient status, transitions of care, coordination between the hospital prescriber and outpatient neurologist, etc., hospital pharmacists play an integral role in pharmacotherapy. The main aspects of pharmacy strategies aim to achieve timely administration of levodopa-containing medications, reduction of substitution and omissions of antiparkinsonian medications, and avoidance of antidopaminergic medications. This paper highlights critical areas for improvement and recommendations to minimize the impact of other factors from the pharmacy standpoint.

    Abstract Objective: The primary aim of this study is to report long-term outcomes associated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) performed at our institution. We further aimed to elicit the factors associated with loss of efficacy and to discuss the need for exploring and establishing reliable rescue targets.
    Methods: To study long-term outcomes, we performed a retrospective chart review and extracted tremor scores of 43 patients who underwent VIM DBS lead implantation for essential tremor at our center. We further evaluated factors that could influence outcomes over time, including demographics, body mass index, duration of follow-up, degree of parenchymal atrophy indexed by the global cortical atrophy scale, and third ventricular width.
    Results: In this cohort, tremor scores on the latest follow-up (median 52.7 months) were noted to be worse than initial postoperative scores in 56% of DBS leads. Furthermore, 14% of leads were associated with clinically significant loss of benefit. Factors including the length of time since the lead implantation, age at the time of surgery, sex, body mass index, preoperative atrophy, and third ventricular width were not predictive of long-term outcomes.
    Conclusions: Our study identified a substantial subgroup of VIM-DBS patient who experienced a gradual decline in treatment efficacy over time. We propose that this phenomenon can be attributed primarily to habituation and disease progression. Furthermore, we discuss the need to establish reliable and effective rescue targets for this subpopulation of patients, with ventral-oralis complex and dentate nucleus emerging as potential candidates.

    Abstract The management of patients with major depressive disorder who present with self-injurious behavior is best optimized through a collaborative interprofessional approach. We describe a case of a 27-year-old woman without personal or family history of thyroid pathology who presented at the emergency department due to a suicide attempt by hanging. On examination, she was tachycardic with palpitations which persisted despite administration of analgesics and anxiolytics. Left temporal area swelling, left otorrhagia, and neck contusion were noted, involving consults with the Trauma, Neurosurgery, and Otorhinolaryngology teams. She was admitted to the psychiatric ward on account of persistent suicidal ideations. As part of the workup, thyroid function tests were done to rule out hypothyroidism as a cause of depressive symptoms. Results instead showed suppressed thyroid stimulating hormone and elevated free T4. Endocrinology service was consulted, and further workup showed absence of avid uptake of both thyroid glands on thyroid scan and undetectable thyrotropin receptor antibody level, supportive of a diagnosis of trauma-induced thyroiditis. This case increases awareness that trauma-induced thyroid dysfunction should be considered in patients with symptoms including, but not limited to, tachycardia and palpitations after a traumatic neck injury such as hanging.

    Abstract Background: Towards the end of life (EOL), persons with parkinsonism (PwP) have complex needs and can present with unique palliative care (PC) challenges. There are no widely accepted guidelines to aid neurologists, hospitalists, or PC clinicians in managing the symptoms of PwP at EOL. We examined a population of PwP at EOL, aiming to describe trends of in-hospital management and utilization of PC services.
    Methods: All PwP admitted to two hospitals during 2018 (
    Results: Among the EOL group, 8 expired in hospital, and 27 were discharged to hospice. Forty-six percent of EOL patients received a PC consultation during their admission. The median interval from admission to death was 37 days. Seventy-seven percent had a full code status on admission. Compared to hospice patients, those who expired in hospital had higher rates of invasive procedures and intensive care unit transfers (41% vs. 75%, in both variables), and lower rates of PC involvement (52% vs. 25%). The transition of code status change for the EOL group from Full code to Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) occurred at a median 4-5 days from admission. For patients that passed in the hospital, the median days from transition of code status to death was 0(IQR 0-1). Levodopa dose deviations were frequent in both EOL and non-EOL group, but contraindicated medications were infrequently administered (11% in EOL group vs. 9% in non-EOL group).
    Conclusion: Our data suggest a low utilization of PC services and delayed discussions of goals of care. More work is needed to raise awareness of inpatient teams managing PwP regarding the unique but common challenges facing PwP with advanced disease. A brief narrative review summarizing the suggested management of symptoms common to hospitalized PwP near EOL is provided.

    Abstract Background: Functional Neurologic Disorders (FND) are a common but heterogeneous group of disabling conditions. The Emergency Department (ED) is an important venue for care and referral as it is often the first point of contact when patients with FND are faced with a crisis or exacerbation of symptoms.
    Methods: ED providers (n = 273) practicing in the Cleveland Clinic Foundation Northeast Ohio network were invited to participate through secure web application electronic surveys. Data were collected on practice profiles, knowledge, attitudes, management of FND, and awareness of available resources for FND.
    Results: Sixty providers completed the survey (22% response rate; n = 50 ED physicians, 10 advanced care providers) with 95.0% (n = 57) reporting a lack of understanding about FND. The terms Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures and stress induced/stress related disease were used by 60.0% (n = 36) and 58.3% (n = 35) respectively. Ninety percent (n = 53) rated their experience with managing FND patients as at least more difficult. Eighty- five percent (n = 51) agreed with "rule out others" and 60% (n = 36) agreed with "caused by psych stress". Eighty six percent (n = 50) believe that there is a difference between FND from malingering. Only one respondent was familiar with any FND resources and 79% (n = 47) reported the need for FND specific educational materials.
    Conclusion: This survey revealed major gaps in knowledge, inaccurate perceptions, and management that differs from the current standard of care among ED providers caring for patients with FND. Educational opportunities are needed to guide diagnosis and evidence-based treatment to optimize management of patients with FND.

    Abstract Background: Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a chronic, potentially disabling disorder that often requires long-term management with botulinum toxin (BoNT). In a country where healthcare costs limit compliance to medical follow-up and treatment, the study aims to provide a real-world experience on the use of BoNT for HFS among Filipinos.
    Methods: We retrospectively collected data from 162 HFS patients who received 1138 botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections from 2006 to 2019 in our movement disorders center in the Philippines. We described their clinical profile and treatment response.
    Results: The mean age at onset of disease was 47.7 ± 10.72 years. Majority of the patients reported a baseline moderate disease severity and disease frequency of >75% of waking time (59.8% and 46.9%, respectively). Most patients (61.73%) received 5 or less injections during the follow-up period. The mean duration of follow-up was 2.96 ± 4.28 years. The overall duration of treatment effect per injection was 3.6 ± 1.3 months while the mean interval between injections was 6 ± 5 months. There was no difference in the symptom improvement and duration between onabotulinumtoxinA and abobotulinumtoxinA. Side effects were infrequent.
    Conclusion: This study supports existing evidence on the efficacy and safety of BoNT for the symptomatic relief of HFS. In the Philippines, long-term treatment with BoNT may be limited by the cost of the procedure as majority of our patients had a few injections with long treatment intervals.

    Abstract Background: Although headache is one of the most common neurologic conditions with a high disease burden, primary data on headache research from Southeast Asia (SEA) was hypothesized to be inadequate. This study aimed to evaluate research productivity among the different countries in SEA and to determine the association between specific bibliometric indices and socioeconomic factors.
    Methods: A systematic search was conducted until June 10, 2020 in Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Index Medicus for South-East Asia Region to include all primary headache studies on migraine, tension-type headache, and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia, with at least one author affiliated with a SEA country. Bibliometric indices, such as the number of publications and PlumX metrics, were obtained and correlated with the country-specific socioeconomic factors.
    Results: We identified 153 articles. Most of the publications (n = 43, 28.1%) were epidemiologic studies and case reports/series (n = 25, 16.3%). Migraine was the most studied primary headache subtype. Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand were the major contributors to primary headache research in SEA. Only the percent gross domestic product for research and development correlated significantly with research productivity.
    Conclusion: Despite the high global burden of disease, research productivity on primary headache was low in SEA. The move towards a knowledge-based economy may drive research productivity in SEA.
