The @FNDSociety is launching a new virtual, on-demand CME course.
Advanced Course for the Assessment & Management of Functional Neurological Disorder.
Registration opens in late Oct & course goes live Monday Nov 3rd. @jonstoneneuro@AlanCarson15@SarahLidstone@SelmaAybek
1/Talk about twisting your back!
Do spine vascular lesions make your brain feel as tangled as the dilated vessels you see?
Want some more information on malformations?
Here’s a thread on spine vascular anatomy to give you durable knowledge on dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF)
🚨❗ Results of the FIRST EVER trial comparing ultra-processed food (UPF) and minimally-processed food (MPF) diets following healthy dietary guidelines on health (and the longest trial of UPF to date) published today in Nature Medicine
What did we find?
A Thread… 🧵
1/
HOT OFF THE PRESS:
IS LIFTING TECHNIQUE Related to Pain and Functional
Limitation in people with lifting related back pain?
I get asked this Q so often.
@ivan_physio_au and team asked this question in this excellent OPEN ACCESS study...

How to read an MRI. This is called an axial view. Left side of the screen is the right side of the body. And here are some basic structures that can be seen on this type of scan. #mri#brain#neuroanatomy#neuroscience#radiology#radtech
A Phase 1 clinical trial is examining the safety and feasibility of a groundbreaking treatment approach for Parkinson’s disease in which a patient’s stem cells are reprogrammed to replace dopamine cells in the brain damaged by the disease.

1/”I LOVE spinal cord syndromes!” is a phrase that has NEVER, EVER been said by anyone.
Do you become paralyzed when you see cord signal abnormality?
Never fear—here is a thread on all the incomplete spinal cord syndromes to get you moving again!
Review: when taking multiple 🏋️♀️ sets to failure 🥵 , there is a large initial strength drop; then, muscle strength plateaus at approximately 40% of baseline: https://t.co/ib5F2sJQTa
When you’re asked to localize the lesion in a patient with aphasia, do you suddenly feel speechless?
At a loss for words to categorize the type of aphasia?
Never fear—here is the decision tree for patients w/aphasia and the associated anatomic correlates
Three main questions:
1. Fluency? Nonfluency indicates damage to the FRONTAL language regions anterior to the fissure of Rolando
2. Comprehension? Impaired comprehension indicates damage to the TEMPOROPARIETAL language regions posterior to the fissure of Rolando
3. Repetition? Impaired repetition indicates damage within the core PERISYLVIAN language zone
The answers will lead you both to the type of aphasia and the location of the lesion.
Keep this figure with you for quick reference—and then when you’re asked about a patient with aphasia, you will have a lot to say!
Meta-analysis: use it or loose it:
-muscle 💪 disuse ➡️ greater decline in muscular strength and cardiovascular fitness 🫀than in muscle mass
-strength loss is 2.5 times faster vs muscle mass loss

8 weeks of 6 or 9 sets/week with back squats + bench press🏋🏻➡️greater strength gains vs 3 sets/week (no diff between 6 vs 9 sets/w): https://t.co/nObRKpBtWh
