Article Synopsis
  • The case study discusses a 29-year-old woman diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) who later developed cognitive and behavioral symptoms, leading to additional diagnoses, including bipolar disorder.
  • As she aged, her symptoms progressed, showing significant cognitive deficits and changes on MRI scans, indicating atrophy in the brain's frontal and cerebellar regions.
  • Ultimately, the evaluation suggests a diagnosis of cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), highlighting the cerebellum's role in cognitive impairments associated with frontal subcortical conditions.

Background: Restoration of proximal humeral anatomy (RPHA) after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has been shown to result in better clinical outcomes than is the case in nonanatomic humeral reconstruction. Preoperative virtual planning has mainly focused on glenoid component placement. Such planning also has the potential to improve anatomic positioning of the humeral head by more accurately guiding the humeral head cut and aid in the selection of anatomic humeral component sizing.

Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome (WHS) is a human developmental disorder arising from a hemizygous perturbation, typically a microdeletion, on the short arm of chromosome four. In addition to pronounced intellectual disability, seizures, and delayed growth, WHS presents with a characteristic facial dysmorphism and varying prevalence of microcephaly, micrognathia, cartilage malformation in the ear and nose, and facial asymmetries. These affected craniofacial tissues all derive from a shared embryonic precursor, the cranial neural crest (CNC), inviting the hypothesis that one or more WHS-affected genes may be critical regulators of neural crest development or migration.
