Moderator: Theodoros M. Mavridis (Dublin, Ireland)

Guest: Messoud Ashina (Glostrup, Denmark)

In this episode Theodoros M. Mavridis and Messoud Ashina delve into the findings of the Phase 2 HOPE clinical trial, which assesses the efficacy and safety of Lu AG09222, a monoclonal antibody that targets the PACAP pathway. They explore the potential of this innovative treatment for migraine prevention while highlighting the critical role of the PACAP pathway in migraine pathophysiology.

Moderator: Roland Wiest (Bern, Switzerland)

Guest: Randolf Klingebiel (Bielefeld, Germany)

In this episode, Roland Wiest and Randolf Klingebiel explore rare causes of myelopathy, a challenging condition due to its infrequent occurrence and diverse origins. They discuss the diagnostic workup, imaging protocols, and differential diagnoses, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between neurologists and neuroradiologists in managing these complex cases.

EAN moderator: Youssuf Saleh (Oxford, United Kingdom)

Guest: Sebastiaan Engelborghs (Brussel, Belgium)

In this episode Youssuf Saleh and Sebastiaan Engelborghs discuss dementia prevention, with particular reference to the recently published lancet commission report on dementia prevention, intervention and care. Key areas of discussion include what those risks are, how they can be mitigated and what adaptations the field of neurology and public health need to minimise the burden of dementia in aging populations.

EAN moderator: Marian Galovic (Zurich, Switzerland)

Guest: Michel van Putten (Enschede, The Netherlands)
