Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in CSF1R-related disorder
Q: What are the potential future directions for clinical trials in CSF1R leukoencephalopathy?
There is a need for less toxic treatment options and increased screening for dominant CSF1R mutations in demyelinating diseases, while addressing accessibility and reimbursement issues for HSCT.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in CSF1R-related disorder
Q: What are the main findings of the study regarding disease trajectories post-transplant?
The study showed initial disease progression after transplantation, but full stabilization and late cognitive improvements in many patients, highlighting the importance of early intervention.
Breaking down functional movement disorders • 2025 MDS Congress
Q: So to everyone listening, if you understand the ins and outs of diagnosis, go out and share with your colleagues. So when making the diagnosis, do you ever discuss the prognosis with the patient?
Not necessarily; I wait for the patient to ask, and I tailor my explanation based on the symptoms.
Breaking down functional movement disorders • 2025 MDS Congress
Q: So how common would you say FMD is?
FMD is one of the commonest causes to see a neurologist, estimated to represent up to a third of consultations in a general setting.
Current status of functional neurosurgery • 2025 MDS Congress
Q: At the end of the study, the patients were asked if they wanted to stay in the continuous DBS mode or if they wanted to choose one of the two adaptive DBS modes. It seems like most of the patients chose the adaptive mode. Is that correct?
Yes, most patients preferred the adaptive mode, although there were some who could not tolerate it and stuck with continuous DBS.
