Feeling bipolar about bilateral thalamic lesions?
Unfortunately, the differential for bilateral thalamic lesions isn’t binary!
But here’s an easy mnemonic to help: THALAMIC!
T = Tumor (glioma)
H = Hypoxic/ischemic encephalopathy
A = Artery of Percheron Infarct
L = Loss of thiamine (Wernicke’s)
A = ADEM
M = Metabolic/Toxic
I = Internal cerebral vein thrombosis. Infection (west nile)
C = Creutzfeld-Jacob
Now you’ll never bypass a bilateral thalamic diagnosis with this easy mnemonic!
Insisto mucho en los beneficios de caminar aunque sean 10 minutos después de comer.
Es algo sencillo, pero que de verdad cambia tu vida.
Un ensayo aleatorizado publicado en Scientific Reports (2025) comparó caminar 10 minutos inmediatamente después de comer frente a una caminata de 30 minutos y frente a no moverse.
Resultado: solo 10 minutos reducen el pico de glucosa en sangre de forma significativa, igual de eficaz que 30 minutos. La línea de puntos es el control (sin caminar). Las otras dos son 10 y 30 minutos. La diferencia habla sola.
El mecanismo es simple: el músculo activo capta glucosa directamente sin necesitar insulina. Menos pico, menos bajón de energía a las 3 de la tarde, menos grasa acumulada a largo plazo.
Después de comer, 10-15 minutos andando. Sin teléfono si puedes. Es el hábito más barato y más infrautilizado que existe para controlar el azúcar y la energía del día.

Se confirma lo que sospechábamos:
La adicción a los vídeos de corta duración reduce la actividad cerebral en el lóbulo frontal, debilitando la capacidad de concentración.
Eagle Syndrome: An elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament causes this rare condition.
It manifests as chronic head, neck, and throat pain.
Nerve and blood vessel compression are key factors.
Symptoms include sharp pain, dysphagia, headaches, and globus sensation.
Diagnosis involves imaging to visualize the styloid process.
Treatment ranges from analgesics and physical therapy to styloidectomy.
The callosal angle in possible iNPH assessment is measured on a coronal plane perpendicular to the anterior commissure-posterior commissure line, at the level of the posterior commissure.
The technique is demonstrated erroneously in this #journalimage

In this study the authors assessed the role of neuroimaging in identifying patients with particular susceptibility to #IschemicStroke or intracerebral hemorrhage, with the potential to enable individualized risk stratification: https://t.co/RFLrVGrafe

🔎Most studies were observational - more RCTs needed

New publication from the Cardiology Experts Team at The Meta-Analysis Academy, and it’s in JACC! Congratulations to Nelson, Guilherme, and all collaborators.
It’s truly rewarding to see The Meta-Analysis Academy alumni achieving such great success!
