Cervical myelitis due to herpes zoster: case report.

Purpose: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) belongs to the human neurotropic alpha-herpes virus group. VZV reactivation can lead to neurological complications, including transverse myelitis. However, transverse myelitis caused by VZV reactivation is rare in immunocompetent patients.

Evaluation of the Commercial, Off-the-Shelf (COTS) King-Devick Eye Tracking System.

Concussion biomarkers are important guides for diagnosis and return-to-duty decisions. Recent literature describes the King-Devick (KD) test as a sensitive sports-related concussion screener. This test involves timing an individual reading aloud 120 digits printed on three test cards.

Feasibility of using normobaric hypoxic stress in mTBI research.

Studies of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) recovery generally assess patients in unstressed conditions that permit compensation for impairments through increased effort expenditure. This possibility may explain why a subgroup of individuals report persistent mTBI symptoms yet perform normally on objective assessment. Accordingly, the development and utilization of stress paradigms may be effective for enhancing the sensitivity of mTBI assessment.
