Ep. 68: Analysis of CIDP guidelines: Moderator: Panagiotis Zis (Nicosia, Cyprus) Guest: Peter Van den Bergh (Brussels, Belgium) In this episode of the EAN Cast, Prof. Zis is joined by Prof. Van den Bergh to discuss the recently updated guidelines for diagnosing and treating Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). The existing guidelines were last revised over a decade ago, and this new version aims to reflect the latest advancements in clinical and basic research. Prof. Van den Bergh highlights the common pitfalls in CIDP diagnosis and emphasizes the need for accurate diagnostic criteria. The guidelines include flowcharts, tables, and criteria for different CIDP variants, as well as suggestions for supportive criteria to upgrade the diagnosis from possible CIDP to CIDP. The episode also delves into the treatment approaches, with an emphasis on corticosteroids, IVIG, and plasma exchange, and when to consider nerve biopsy. by eanCast: Weekly Neurology

Ep. 67: EAN and WFN Brain Health Initiatives: Moderator: Thomas Berger (Vienna, Austria) Guest: Wolfgang Grisold (Vienna, Austria) In this podcast episode of EAN Cast, Professor Thomas Berger, Chair of the Department of Neurology at the Medical University in Vienna, and Professor Wolfgang Grisold, the current president of the World Federation of Neurology, discuss two important topics. First, they delve into the history and implementation of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Intersectoral Global Action Plan for epilepsy and other neurological disorders (ICAP). They emphasize that ICAP is a global effort to improve neurological services, and while epilepsy is a key focus, it covers various neurological disorders across countries, regardless of their income level. They highlight the importance of ICAP's five points: policy, treatment, prevention, research and innovation, and public health. Secondly, they discuss the concept of brain health, a mission closely related to ICAP, and it by eanCast: Weekly Neurology
