Good vs. evil: There’s no absolute good or bad. People aren’t heroes or villains, perspective changes everything. Someone’s angel is another’s devil. Don’t judge people based on a single interaction; real life is full of complexity
When I have a new fellow or resident in our peripheral nerve clinic, I always teach them the importance of defining the neuropathy clinical syndrome. NCS/EMG are valuable, but the neurological exam is the most important (as it should be in neurology but many have forgotten).
This is the neuropathy clinical phenotype classification I find the most helpful:
- Isolated small fiber neuropathy
- Length-dependent peripheral neuropathy (or distal symmetric polyneuropathy)
- Multiple mononeuropathies
- Mononeuropathy
- Asymmetric neuropathy
- Polyradiculoneuropathy
- Plexopathy (brachial or lumbosacral, many times a radiculoplexus neuropathy)
- Sensory neuronopathy
- Motor neuronopathy
I always tell my trainees they don’t have to memorize the causes of each phenotype. If you define the syndrome correctly, you can ask Google or ChatGtp what are the most likely causes. 😊

🧠 The Circle of Willis may be a foundational structure, but variations are the rule, not the exception.
From hypoplasia to persistent fetal patterns, these anomalies shape collateral flow & stroke presentations

This year's #AANAM was a blast!
I had a great time in Denver connecting with colleagues and monitors. Additionally, I was honored to present 4 posters, and work with an intelligent team to win the innovation award!
See you next year, @AANmember#AAN_2024#Neurology#Research
And we won ! The first ever innovation hub brain storm competition #AANAM 2024 @AANmember AI improving intake and clinical workflow. Bringing out the innovator in us. Proud to be a @NeuroUky trainee, representing program at national level.
Wednesday, 17 April, session P10 (11:45 - 12:45): "Triglyceride-glucose Index as a Marker for Insulin Resistance and its Association with CTA Collaterals in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Retrospective Cohort Study"
Excited to attend #AANAM next week! 🧠 Got 4 posters lined up across various sessions. Can't wait to connect with fellow neurology enthusiasts!
Let's make some brainy connections! 💡
