A Comprehensive Review of the Importance of the Main Comorbidities in Developing Cognitive Disorders in Patients With Spinal Cord Injuries.

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) refer to lesions in the spinal cord due to direct trauma (traumatic SCI-TSCI), such as vehicle accidents, falls, and violent events, or other pathological conditions (non-traumatic SCI) such as metabolic disorders, inflammation, or degenerative disorders. Depending on the location of the injury, patients may experience movement and/or sense disabilities in their lower limbs, torso, or upper limbs. Even though poorly studied, it has been found that such patients have a higher risk of developing cognitive disorders, such as deficits in concentration, short and long memory, comprehension, and problem-solving, as well as mental deficits in the form of difficulty socializing and expressing emotions.

Analysis of angiotensin II type 1 receptor and osteoprotegerin gene polymorphism on the risk of cardiovascular mortality risk and progressivity of chronic kidney disease.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant global public health issue with increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and cardiovascular mortality. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) A1166C and osteoprotegerin (OPG) C950T gene have received significant attention as a genetic risk factor for cardiovascular disease and CKD.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 75 adults with CKD recruited from Nephrology Outpatient Clinics of Universitas Airlangga Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia.

Neglected Bicondylar Fracture of the Distal Humerus Treated With Total Elbow Arthroplasty.

A 69-year-old woman suffered a distal humerus fracture including the medial and lateral condyles. She received conservative treatment with a posterior arm splint at a local healthcare center where she was evaluated by a non-specialist physician. Eight months later, she presented to our department complaining about severe instability.

Using Electroencephalogram-Extracted Nonlinear Complexity and Wavelet-Extracted Power Rhythm Features during the Performance of Demanding Cognitive Tasks (Aristotle's Syllogisms) in Optimally Classifying Patients with Anorexia Nervosa.

Anorexia nervosa is associated with impaired cognitive flexibility and central coherence, i.e., the ability to provide an overview of complex information.

Unravelling brain connectivity patterns in body dysmorphic disorder during decision-making on visual illusions: A graph theoretical approach.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterized by an excessive preoccupation with perceived defects in physical appearance, and is associated with compulsive checking. Visual illusions are illusory or distorted subjective perceptions of visual stimuli, which are induced by specific visual cues or contexts. While previous research has investigated visual processing in BDD, the decision-making processes involved in visual illusion processing remain unknown.
