[Behavioural strategies, activities, and pain : what you need to know].

Pain has multiple consequences, forcing people to change the way they carry out their activities (domestic, work, leisure, social). Classically, three behavioural strategies have been described: avoidance, modulation, and persistence. Recent research suggests that the use of these strategies is more complex and subtle than previously imagined.

Acute right opercular stroke-associated polyopic heautoscopy and hallucinations caused by disconnection to the inferior parietal lobule through the superior longitudinal fasciculus III: A single case study.

Illusory neuropsychiatric symptoms such as hallucinations or the feeling of a presence (FOP) can occur in diffuse brain lesion or dysfunction, in psychiatric diseases as well as in healthy individuals. Their occurrence due to focal brain lesions is rare, most probably due to underreporting, which limits progress in understanding their underlying mechanisms and anatomical determinants. In this single case study, an 86-year-old patient experienced, in the context of an acute right central opercular ischemic stroke, visual hallucinatory symptoms (including palinopsia), differently lateralized auditory hallucinations and FOP.

[Knee examination in practice: clinical relevance of author-named special tests].

Special tests for clinical examination of the musculoskeletal system are numerous, many of them named after the author who described them. We have researched and listed the author-named tests available for knee examination, discussing their practical utility in sports medicine. For each structure, we recommend the combination of at least 2 tests, which increases the overall diagnostic performance of the clinical examination.
