Pain intensity and lower limb dynamic balance were related to the laterality judgment test of patients with patellofemoral pain.

Introduction: Laterality judgement evaluates the capacity to differentiate between the left and right sides of bodily parts. Cortical body representations are impaired in various musculoskeletal conditions, yet this remains unexplored in individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP).

Objective: This study compared laterality judgement performance between individuals with PFP and asymptomatic controls.

Pasteurella multocida Bacteremia in an Immunocompromised Patient With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.

is a facultative anaerobic Gram-negative coccobacillus that represents a rare cause of systemic infection in immunocompromised patients. This report presents the case of a 59-year-old man with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus, recently undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy, halted due to cytopenias, including neutropenia. The patient, who owned a cat but denied any recent bites or scratches, developed bacteremia caused by with presumed pulmonary and renal foci.

Hyperintense lesions of the middle cerebellar peduncle and beyond: a pictorial essay.

The middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) is the largest afferent system of the cerebellum and consists of fibres from the cortico-ponto-cerebellar tract. Specifically, several relevant diseases can present with hyperintensity in the MCP on T2-weighted/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2/FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging sequences, including multiple sclerosis; acute disseminated encephalomyelitis; neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder; progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy; hepatic encephalopathy; osmotic demyelination syndrome; multiple system atrophy; fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome; megalencephalic leucoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts; spinocerebellar ataxias; hemi-pontine infarct with trans-axonal degeneration; and diffuse midline glioma with the histone H3K27M mutation. The aim of this pictorial review is to discuss the imaging findings that are relevant for the differential diagnosis of diseases presenting with MCP hyperintensity on T2/FLAIR sequences.

Urinary biomarkers of preeclampsia: An update.

Preeclampsia (PE), a pregnancy-related syndrome, has motivated extensive research to understand its pathophysiology and develop early diagnostic methods. 'Omic' technologies, focusing on genes, mRNA, proteins, and metabolites, have revolutionized biological system studies. Urine emerges as an ideal non-invasive specimen for omics analysis, offering accessibility, easy collection, and stability, making it valuable for identifying biomarkers.
