A tongue tremor can be a clue to tick-borne encephalitis. In TBE, tongue tremor has been reported in ~30% of patients during the neurological phase. This short video shows the finding in a woman with TBE from northeastern Italy. Paper: doi.org/10.1136/pn-2... #IDSky #TBE

Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The
"suspending indefinitely" of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation. Maybe the Constitution should have said, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one's political or financial self-interest." By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

A 27 y/o woman with hx of relapsing Kikuchi disease presented for altered mental status and 1 month of painful, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy & fever. Brain MRI showed multiple cortical, subcortical, and callosal enhancing T2-FLAIR hyperintensities with restricted diffusion #Medsky #Neurosky
Evolution of brain MRI findings in a 27-year-old woman with acute encephalopathy and painful bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Initial MRI of the brain showed multiple foci of restricted diffusion (arrows) present and involving the splenium of the corpus callosum, left periatrial white matter, and left periventricular white matter (A). Repeat MRI of the brain on hospital day two revealed multiple new and progressed sites of FLAIR hyperintensity (arrows) involving the supratentorial brain, including the thalami, right basal ganglia, bilateral temporal lobes, left insula, right frontal lobe, left parietal lobe, and splenium of the corpus callosum (B). MRI of the brain on hospital day eight demonstrated an increased extent of FLAIR hyperintensity (arrows) in the left hippocampus, left para-hippocampal gyrus, and right temporal lobe but with some decrease in the conspicuity of the FLAIR hyperintensity involving the thalami, right basal ganglia, and left frontoparietal lesions (C)Histopathologic findings from right temporal lobe lesion brain biopsy in a 27-year-old woman with acute encephalopathy and painful bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Sections show brain parenchyma with patchy perivascular mononuclear, lymphohistiocyte-rich inflammation (A and B). Immunohistochemical staining highlighted CD68+ macrophages (C) and CD3+ T lymphocytes, including a mix of CD4+ and CD8+ populations (D), in prominent perivascular distributions.

"Officials at Harvard realized they have the top law school in the nation and enough money to pay the thousands of lawyers who attended it. 

'Unlike Yale, whose law school curriculum seems to incude courses on bootlicking, we are confident we have the legal power to go up against Trump's DoJ,' said the Dean of Harvard Law School.”

"Yale alumni Josh Hawley and Bret Kavanaugh could not be reached for comment because their tongues were caught in Trump's shoelaces."

Goodnight friends ♥️ Our hearts are with all of us at HHS who receive bad news tomorrow. And all those at health departments across the country who received bad news this week. Call us cheesy, but Lord of the Rings is on our minds.
FRODO: I can’t do this, Sam. 

SAM: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? 

But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.  

FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam? 

SAM: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
