Background: Neurological semiology is often considered by medical students as particularly difficult to learn. Finding alternative teaching methods may improve students' motivation and understanding of this field.
Methods: We developed the "Neurospeed", a game to learn neurological syndromes.
Movement disorders are frequent in the elderly, with various presentations and causes. We review the most frequent movement disorders encountered in the elderly. Their diagnosis, mainly based on clinical examination, is necessary due to their common occurrence and their impact on autonomy.

- - Internal soft tissue strains are a key factor in the development of Pressure Ulcers, but using Finite Element (FE) analysis in clinical settings is challenging due to high costs and long computation times.
- - This study aimed to validate a simpler local FE model of the gluteus region against a more complex 3D FE model, using 26 local FE models to assess patients in a sitting position.
- - The results showed a strong correlation between the two model types (R = 0.90, p-value < 0.01), suggesting that ultrasound technology could help integrate simpler FE models into everyday clinical practice for estimating Pressure Ulcer risks.
Article Synopsis
- Pressure ulcers remain a significant concern for individuals with limited mobility and sensory loss, despite advances in prevention strategies.
- Current methods for estimating internal mechanical conditions in soft tissues are limited by the need for expensive imaging technologies that often only study single individuals.
- This study proposes using low-dose biplanar X-ray, B-mode ultrasound, and optical scans to create personalized models of the buttock, revealing high variability in soft tissue responses and offering a tool for better assessing the risk of pressure ulcers.
Glioblastoma patients often require chronic administration of steroids due to peri-tumoral edema. Preliminary studies showed that treatment with Angiotensin-II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) for high blood pressure might be associated with reduced peri-tumoral edema. In this study, we aim to radiologically assess the effect of ARBs on peri-tumoral edema.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFunctional independence in glioblastoma (GBM) patients is a key factor in measuring the quality of life. Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) have been largely described. However, the evolution over time of the performance status during the patients' life remains understudied.
