Happy to host the 2nd Masterclass in Autoimmune Encephalitis in Odense with doctors from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Special thanks to Michael Zandi, Ming Lim and Christine Nilsson for excellent talks on adult and pediatric AE and the pitfalls of autoantibody testing.
Last Friday, @ThomasGaist excellently defended his PhD on the long-term cognitive and socioeconomic outcomes of Autoimmune Encephalitis. Important work for both patients, caregivers and society.
Thanks to @MGastaldi85 and Christian Stenør for a great discussion 🧠🧠

Our new study on @Brain1878 on atrophy patterns in IgLON5 disease led by the faboulous @SelinaYogeshwar
Yogeshwar et al. present clinical and MRI data from 127 patients with anti-IgLON5 disease. They show brain atrophy patterns that closely mirror sites of autoantibody binding and tau accumulation, with the location of atrophy linked to specific symptoms. tinyurl.com/3u4ufv2z

Our new paper is finally out! A terrific joint effort to advance our understanding of T cell mediated neurodegeneration in AE !

Congrats to Thomas on winning best oral presentation at the Danish Neurological Society annual meeting 🧠🧠🧠
Presenting nation-wide data on very long term outcomes in autoimmune encephalitis
Proud to see PhD student @ThomasGaist presenting our socioeconomic data on autoimmune and infectious encephalitis at the 2024 Encephalitis Conference 🧠🤓🧠
Happy to host @Mayo_AING, @carstenfinke and Frank Leypoldt for the first Danish masterclass in Autoimmune Encephalitis @OUHhospital @SyddanskUni @AfdelingN
Thanks for great talks and discussions

At the University of Southern #Denmark 🇩🇰 in Odense. We have an #autoimmune #encephalitis meeting this morning, with Danish neurologists, immunologists, ICU, psychiatrists and more……thank you to @OAERG1 for organising this. Speaking with @carstenfinke and @LeypoldtF

Happy birthday to renowned neuropsychologist Brenda Milner, who is celebrating her 106th birthday today! 🎈 🎁
While she may not count her age among her many achievements, in this video she did share a few thoughts (and a bit of folklore) about birthdays past and present.
Thanks to @cancer_dk for supporting our study on paraneoplastic neurological syndromes in Denmark.

Happy to be involved in this important study neurology.org/doi/10.1212/NX…
Congrats - well done. Great for our work on Autoimmune Encephalitis 💪🏻
Feeling very honoured (and proud) to receive one of the Early-Career Clinician Scientist grants from @lundbeckfonden, for my project:

In this study, T2 and/or FLAIR hyperintensities confined to the temporal lobes, without diffusion restriction or contrast enhancement, robustly distinguished LGI1/CASPR2-Ab-E from key differential diagnoses. ja.ma/4dH3a5Z

Great collaboration on this paper confirming the performance of a risk score to differentiate autoimmune from viral encephalitis in the acute setting. Finally all the work on our national database starts to pay off 🧠🧪 🖥️ #encephalitis @OAERG1 link.springer.com/article/10…
Congratulations to Matias for a wonderful PhD defence on Autoimmune Encephalitis studied in human neurons. Special thanks to @michael_zandi, Thomas Harbo and Torben Barington for a great work on the examination
Happy to talk about the wonders of the adolescent brain at #ESPID2024 in Copenhagen

Excellent article! @Mayo_AING
#Radiological differences between #autoimmune #encephalitis (#LGI1/#CASPR2), VE (viral) & #CJD
38% EA normal MRI:
Isolated involvement amygdala/hippocampus
Without hemorrhage
Without DWI restriction or Gd enhancement (Is very rare)

Anti-IgLON5 disease is a rare autoimmune encephalitis with late onset. Yogeshwar et al. present data suggesting a stronger association with HLA-DQ over HLA-DR, and showing autoimmune reactivity against IgLON5 in a post-translationally modified form. tinyurl.com/enamh8ws
Another wonderful encephalitis conference. Many great presentations, posters and friends. Lot of important work still needs to be done 🧠#Encephalitis2023
