A young neurologist diagnosed with ALS is inspiring a call to action

Ever since he was a boy, Michael Ibarra was fascinated by the human brain – its complexities, its secrets. Now, at age 32, he is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at UT Southwestern, and he has come face to face with one of the most complex and deadly medical mysteries in his field, ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
From Flashlights to Pupillometry: The New Standard in Brain Health Assessment News

From Flashlights to Pupillometry: The New Standard in Brain Health Assessment

Diagnosing critical conditions like major strokes or serious concussions with precision and ease – using modern highly reliable noninvasive methods – is the norm at UT Southwestern. Any doctor would embrace a painless, accurate, and timely approach, especially in emergency situations. However, despite the proven efficacy of pupillometry, many medical professionals still rely on an unreliable method of using flashlights to assess pupils, a practice that has persisted for decades.

A Unique Clinic for Rare Autoimmune Neurologic Disorders News

A Unique Clinic for Rare Autoimmune Neurologic Disorders

A patient presents with severe encephalopathy and new-onset seizures with no apparent cause. They've had no stroke, no new medications, and no detectable tumor. The symptoms progress rapidly over a few days to weeks, putting the patient in the ICU with debilitating seizures. Maybe there are signs of neurological impairment due to the immune system’s response to a cancer. Or perhaps there are bewildering symptoms such as severe rigidity starting in the back and abdominal muscles, often mistaken for back spasms before spreading throughout the body. These are all symptoms that can signal a rare autoimmune neurologic disease, which are challenging to detect and even harder to manage.
