- Pregnant women are at higher risk for COVID-19, and a study analyzed the effects of infection timing on maternal and neonatal outcomes in 224 confirmed cases from a tertiary hospital.
- Results showed significantly higher neonatal ICU admissions and lower Apgar scores for babies born to mothers infected in the third trimester compared to the first, although no major differences in other complications or outcomes based on trimester were found.
- The study highlights the increasing vulnerability to COVID-19 as pregnancy progresses, but acknowledges limitations such as sample size and potential data accuracy issues that affect the generalizability of the findings.
: Persistent symptoms have been reported in up to 50% of the 27 million people with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) every year. MRI findings are currently limited by low diagnostic and prognostic sensitivities, constraining the value of imaging in the stratification of patients following mTBI. Limbic system structures are promising brain regions in offering prognostic factors for symptom persistence following mTBI.

- Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a type of focal epilepsy that can present as single or recurrent episodes, causing motor symptoms with varying progressions.
- A case study highlighted the successful diagnosis and treatment of EPC in a 33-year-old woman using various advanced imaging techniques, leading to the identification and targeting of her seizure onset zone.
- After treatment with stereo electroencephalography-guided radiofrequency ablation, the patient's seizures ceased, but she still experienced significant pain, affecting her rehabilitation and mobility one year later.
