A Serious Game for the Assessment of Visuomotor Adaptation Capabilities during Locomotion Tasks Employing an Embodied Avatar in Virtual Reality.

The study of visuomotor adaptation (VMA) capabilities has been encompassed in various experimental protocols aimed at investigating human motor control strategies and/or cognitive functions. VMA-oriented frameworks can have clinical applications, primarily in the investigation and assessment of neuromotor impairments caused by conditions such as Parkinson's disease or post-stroke, which affect the lives of tens of thousands of people worldwide. Therefore, they can enhance the understanding of the specific mechanisms of such neuromotor disorders, thus being a potential biomarker for recovery, with the aim of being integrated with conventional rehabilitative programs.

CO(2) laser surgery for extensive, cauliflower-like anogenital condylomata acuminata: retrospective long-term study on 19 HIV-positive and 45 HIV-negative men.

Background: Extensive 'cauliflower-like' condyloma acuminatum (CA) in males is commonly treated with CO(2) laser surgery or with electrosurgery. Studies on the long-term outcome in this specific situation are scarce.

Objectives: To determine the cure and recurrence rate in relation to the HIV status and endoanal location of lesions.

A case of Sézary's syndrome associated with granulomatous lesions, myelodysplastic syndrome and transformation into CD30-positive large-cell pleomorphic lymphoma.

Sézary's syndrome (SS) is a leukaemic variant of mycosis fungoides, a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma showing distinct clinical, histological, immunological, and genotypic features. We report a 10-year follow-up of a patient with SS exhibiting unusual features such as granulomatous skin lesions, transformation to a CD30-positive large-cell pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma, and development of myelodysplastic syndrome and review the cases of SS reported in the literature with these unusual and rare complications.

Clinical efficacy of narrow-band UVB (311 nm) combined with dithranol in psoriasis. An open pilot study.

Background: For UVB, the most effective wavelength in clearing psoriatic lesions was found to be of 313 nm. The efficacy of whole body exposure to narrow-band UVB (311 nm) combined with dithranol in psoriasis has not been evaluated to date.

Objective: Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of phototherapy with narrow-band UVB (311 nm) and dithranol for psoriasis by means of whole body exposures and analysis of the mean cumulative irradiation dose.
