Besides the motor and sensory dysfunction that characterizes multiple sclerosis, during the disease evolution and with
the accumulation of new demyelinating lesions in specific areas of the central nervous system, autonomic dysfunction be-comes
more prevalent among patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. Although not usually addressed, the complex spectrum of
autonomic dysfunction manifestations has the potential of a negative impact on the daily activities of multiple sclerosis patients,
needing specific investigations and therapeutic measures destined to alleviate symptoms and increase the quality of life. Since
urinary dysfunction is evident from the early stages of multiple sclerosis on urodynamic studies even in patients without urinary
complaints, it is indicated to thoroughly screen for urinary tract dysfunction as well as other autonomic dysfunctions in all the
multiple sclerosis patients.

"This article aims to highlight the burnout burden among neurologists and provide information on some of its causes and consequences. We report an original article that reviews our current understanding of burnout matter in the neurology field. The main search engine through which we performed extensive literature research was PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The following information was collected: triggers of burnout and factors that perpetuate it, major complaints, values, and goals that dictate how coaching with it. Physician burnout is an umbrella term characterized by symptoms determined by exposure to chronic workplace stressors. Simply put, it encompasses many dimensions: emotional exhaustion, feelings of cynism, detachment (depersonalization), and a sense of ineffectiveness at work (low personal accomplishment). Burnout is common among all medical specialties, but neurology ranks at the top of the list. Several identified factors continue to fuel this problem. Properly addressing them, rethinking practice, and implementing wise, modern strategies can make significant contributions to reducing it. Aside from the chronic harm to the physician, burnout puts at risk the healthcare community at many levels including patients, other professionals, finances, etc. This paper wants to emphasize that burnout in neurology should be regarded as a global crisis. Thus, some strategies are proposed "

Worldwide, adults and childhood obesity are increasing alarmingly, being a major health problem. Obesity is correlated with an increased incidence of various systemic diseases including cancer, heart diseases, and diabetes mellitus type 2. Risk factors for obesity are dysbiosis, genetic, socioeconomic, behavioural and environmental. The gut microbiota has beneficial effects on human health, like host immune system stimulation, being influenced by pH, or nutrient intake. Studies performed on humans and animal models reported differences regarding microbiota at lean and obese individuals. The consumption of probiotics and prebiotics may balance the microbiota with positive effects in obesity. The main aim of this review is to reveal the interaction between dysbiosis and obesity

Background. Primary headaches are comprised of three big categories: migraines (with or without aura), the third most
common and the 6th most disabling disease worldwide, tension-headaches, and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias, each with
different, complex, and not completely understood pathophysiological, clinical, and neuroimagistic characteristics. Structures like
the brain stem, hippocampus, or hypothalamus have been depicted as being the main triggers of these types of headaches, which
have a significant impact on the quality of life. Methods. We performed a broad literature review on primary headaches from
January 2016 to June 2023, analyzing the latest scientific updates and emphasizing the pathophysiological and neuroimagistic
characteristics. Results. We provide a concise review of the main neuroimaging studies that help in differential diagnosis between
several types of primary headaches. Conclusions. It is difficult to approach the pathophysiology of these three primary headache
categories. Keeping in mind that neuroimagistic methods are rapidly developing (especially in the MRI sphere), the most
important endpoint of future studies will be to establish a reliable distinction system for all these types of cephalalgias, thus
updating the protocols and guidelines. Currently, imaging studies are indicated only in certain circumstances.
