Innovative multidimensional gait evaluation using IMU in multiple sclerosis: introducing the semiogram.

Background: Quantifying gait using inertial measurement units has gained increasing interest in recent years. Highly degraded gaits, especially in neurological impaired patients, challenge gait detection algorithms and require specific segmentation and analysis tools. Thus, the outcomes of these devices must be rigorously tested for both robustness and relevancy in order to recommend their routine use.

Late-onset vascular complications of radiotherapy for primary brain tumors: a case-control and cross-sectional analysis.

Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT) is a recognized risk factor for cerebrovascular (CV) disease in children and in adults with head and neck cancer. We aimed to investigate whether cerebral RT increases the risk of CV disease in adults with primary brain tumors (PBT).

Methods: We retrospectively identified adults with a supratentorial PBT diagnosed between 1975 and 2006 and with at least 10 years follow-up after treatment.

Advances in treatments of patients with classical and emergent neurological toxicities of anticancer agents.

The neurotoxicity associated to the anticancer treatments has received a growing body of interest in the recent years. The development of innovating therapies over the last 20years has led to the emergence of new toxicities. Their diagnosis and management can be challenging in the clinical practice and further research is warranted to improve the understanding of their pathogenic mechanisms.
