Abstract
AbstractHereditary ataxias comprise a group of neurological disorders which affect different levels of the neurological axis including the cerebellum, peripheral nerves, cognition, and the extrapyramidal system. These are categorized by the mode of inheritance as autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, X-linked, and mitochondrial cerebellar ataxia. Definitive curative therapy is not available for these disorders. However, a wide array of emerging treatment options, especially in terms of symptomatic therapy, rescues this group from therapeutic nihilism. Several drugs have been assessed including riluzole, valproate, lithium, etc., as well as rehabilitative, and neuromodulatory strategies. In addition, symptomatic therapies for ancillary symptoms, such as seizures, movement disorders, spasticity, dystonia, etc., should also be targeted. Lastly, molecular therapeutic possibilities are also being explored in animal studies. In this review, we elucidate on the current treatment options available for hereditary ataxias.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a common movement disorder seen in neurological practice, but the diagnosis and management is challenging. The diagnosis is clinical and sometimes difficult, considering a large number of motor and non-motor symptoms in PD patients. The medical management of PD patients is difficult, as choices of drugs are limited and levodopa is the mainstay of treatment. However, levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) is commonly seen in Parkinson's disease patients treated with levodopa. This side effect is usually encountered after a long duration of treatment, but occasionally, this may be seen even after a few days or months of treatment. Different types of surgical approaches, including unilateral pallidotomy and deep brain stimulation, have given very good results in PD patients, who cannot be managed by medications alone.

Abstract
Neurological complications related to anti-rabies vaccine are uncommon. The involvement of the optic nerve is extremely rare. It has been occasionally reported after Semple’s vaccine administration due to the presence of highly antigenic sheep brain tissue in the vaccine. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of optic neuritis after chick embryo-derived anti-rabies vaccine.

Abstract
Introduction: Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a painful mononeuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. It is usually idiopathic and can be treated with drugs used for neuropathic pain such as pregabalin, gabapentin, and amitriptyline. Objectives: This study was done to study the effect of triamcinolone acetonide on drug refractory MP. Methods: This study was a retrospective case file review. Results: Eight patients were treated with local injections of triamcinolone. The patients were followed up for a period of 4 months to 54 months. There was significant symptomatic improvement with six patients having complete improvement and all patients reporting >50% improvement. Patients who had recurrence of symptoms on follow up received up to four injections as per their requirement and repeated injections also produced >50% symptom relief. Conclusion: Triamcinolone acetonide injected locally seems to be an effective and safe treatment for refractory MP. A randomized control trial has been planned to look for efficacy and safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Dopamine plays an important role in the disease pathology of Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. These two neuropsychiatric disorders represent disease end points of the dopaminergic spectrum where Parkinson's disease represents dopamine deficit and schizophrenia represents dopamine hyperactivity in the mid-brain. Therefore, current treatment strategies aim to restore normal dopamine levels. However, during treatment patients develop adverse effects due to overshooting of physiological levels of dopamine leading to psychosis in Parkinson's disease, and extrapyramidal symptoms in schizophrenia. Absence of any laboratory tests hampers modulation of pharmacotherapy. Apolipoprotein E and α-synuclein have an important role in the neuropathology of these two diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of apolipoprotein E and α-synuclein in patients with these two diseases so that they may serve as biomarkers to monitor therapy in Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. METHODS Drug-naïve Parkinson's disease patients and Parkinson's disease patients treated with dopaminergic therapy, neurological controls, schizophrenic patients treated with antidopaminergic therapy, and drug-naïve schizophrenic patients were recruited for the study and CSF was collected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were carried out to estimate the concentrations of apolipoprotein E and α-synuclein. Pathway analysis was done to establish a possible role of these two proteins in various pathways in these two dopamine dictated diseases. RESULTS Apolipoprotein E and α-synuclein CSF concentrations have an inverse correlation along the entire dopaminergic clinical spectrum. Pathway analysis convincingly establishes a plausible hypothesis for their co-regulation in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. Each protein by itself or as a combination has encouraging sensitivity and specificity values of more than 55%. CONCLUSION The dynamic variation of these two proteins along the spectrum is ideal for them to be pursued as pharmacotherapeutic biomarkers in CSF to monitor pharmacological efficacy in Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.

Abstract
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is an opportunistic viral infection of the central nervous system caused by the reactivation of John Cunningham virus (JCV) in immunocompromised patients, most commonly in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and less commonly in those receiving various immunosuppressive regimens. Prognosis of untreated PML is grave and the mainstay of treatment is the reversal of immunosuppression, usually by institution of antiretroviral drugs in HIV patients and cessation of immunosuppressive therapies in others. PML is increasingly being reported in those with minimal or occult immunosuppression. A small fraction of these patients meet the criteria for idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia (ICL) after exclusion of all secondary causes of lymphocytopenia, including HIV. A 44-year-old previously healthy male presented with clinical and radiological features suggestive of PML. Cerebrospinal fluid samples were repeatedly negative for JCV. Immunohistochemistry on brain biopsy eventually confirmed PML. Despite extensive work-up, the only abnormality detected was an unexplained and persistently low absolute CD4+ T-lymphocyte count. Based on the limited available literature on the treatment of non-HIV PML, he was treated with a combination of mirtazapine and mefloquine with clinical improvement. Non-HIV PML remains relatively uncommon, and PML as a presenting feature of ICL is rare. It is important to document and follow these patients to be able to assess the relative risks associated with various causes and formulate effective therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Background Hemi masticatory spasm (HMS) is a rare movement disorder affecting muscles of mastication attributed to dysfunction of motor branch of trigeminal nerve and is characterized by painful spasm of masticatory muscles. Microvascular compression leading to focal demyelination of motor branch of trigeminal nerve is the most speculated on mechanism of HMS. Treatment options range from medical to surgical approaches, but botulinm toxin (BTX) has now become the preferred treatment. Cases We report a retrospective review of 7 cases of HMS, supported by electrophysiological and clinical findings. All the cases had excellent response to BTX therapy. Discussion and Conclusion In this article, we highlight the delay in diagnosis of HMS attributed to rarity, long course of illness, association with hemiatrophy, "Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus," and scleroderma/morphea. Considering the favorable outcome to BTXs, surgical treatment can be avoided or delayed in majority except secondary cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia are clinical scenarios that occur due to dopaminergic deficit and hyperactivity in the midbrain, respectively. Current pharmacological interventions for these two diseases therefore aim to restore normal dopamine levels in the midbrain. But during therapy, there is a overshooting of dopamine concentrations that result in hallucinations in Parkinson's disease patients and extra-pyramidal symptoms in schizophrenic patients. This causes a lot of inconvenience to the patents and the clinicians. There are no tests currently available to monitor drug efficacy in these two neuropsychiatric diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Parkinson's disease and schizophrenic naïve patients were recruited. Serum proteins isolated from these two clinical phenotypes were labeled with fluorescent cyanine dyes and analyzed by two-dimensional difference in gel electrophoresis proteomic experiment. Differentially expressed spots that had consistent expression pattern across five sets of biological replicate gels were trypsin digested and subjected to mass spectrometric analysis for protein identification. Validation experiments were done for the identified proteins using antibody-based assay on a patient cohort that included naïve, treated, and those who had side effects. RESULTS Serum α- and β-globin chains were identified as differentially expressed proteins having threefold higher expressions in Parkinson's patients as compared to schizophrenia. Interestingly, concentrations of these two proteins had an inverse correlation across clinical phenotypes in the dopaminergic spectrum. RBC contamination as a source for these proteins was ruled out. CONCLUSION There is a clear association of free serum globin with dopaminergic clinical states. This lays a platform for protein biomarker-based monitoring of pharmacological efficacy in Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
