Objective: To report two cases of cranial multineuritis after severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus-2.
Methods: Patients' data were obtained from medical records of the clinical chart of dell'Angelo Hospital, Venice, Italy.
Results: The first patient is a 42-year-old male patient who developed, 10 days after the resolution of coronavirus-2 pneumonia and intensive care unit hospitalization with hyperactive delirium, a cranial multineuritis with asymmetric distribution (bilateral hypoglossus involvement and right Claude Bernard Horner syndrome).
The victims of a terrorist attack are subjected to a trauma which must be treated to avoid any sequalae. Long-term treatments and complementary therapeutic approaches can be envisaged. The caregivers take into account the individual character of the times required for psychological management and lead the victim and those close to them to gradually re-appropriate the common time of renewed life.

Methodology/principal Findings: Regulatory elements and coding exons 2 and 3 of the INS gene were amplified and sequenced from genomic and complementary DNA samples. A novel heterozygous INS mutation within the terminal intron of the gene was identified in the proband and her affected father.
Objective: To evaluate the after-effects of low frequency, sub-threshold repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) of primary motor cortex, on the excitability of Blink Reflex (BR) in healthy subjects.
Methods: The BR recovery cycle was carried out in 10 healthy volunteers in basal conditions, immediately after rTMS (30s), 15 and 60min later. A paired electric supraorbital stimulus paradigm with inter-stimulus intervals (ISI) of 100-600-1000-1500ms was used.
