Cerebral Palsy (CP) is one of the foremost causes of childhood motor disability and disrupts the individual's development and ability to function. Several factors contribute to the development of CP such as preterm delivery, low birth weight, infection/inflammation, and additional pregnancy complications, both in preterm and term infants. As there is no specific treatment for CP, rehabilitation is the current option for the management of patients.

- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) that targets motor symptoms more effectively than medications, although its effects on cognition remain unclear.
- A systematic review examined 13 studies on PD patients since 2008, finding that while DBS negatively impacted verbal fluency and attention, other cognitive functions remained stable.
- Despite these cognitive declines being significant, they did not greatly affect the overall quality of life, highlighting the need for more long-term research on cognition in DBS patients.
Zika virus (ZIKV) has created major outbreaks all over the Americas and has caused severe neurological complications. The main neurological complications linked to ZIKV are Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), encephalitis, myelitis, and microcephaly. We thoroughly searched for published literature on PubMed and found evidence supporting the relationship between ZIKV and GBS.

New-onset diabetes (NOD) patients are considered a high-risk group for the development of PC within three years of diagnosis. We reviewed the literature to determine the pathophysiological association between DM and PC, which can help in the development of screening tests for early PC diagnosis in the elderly with NOD.
