Background And Aims: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a heterogeneous group of genetic neuropathies and is typically characterized by distal muscle weakness, sensory loss, pes cavus and areflexia. Herein we describe a case of CMT2CC presenting with proximal muscle weakness and equivocal electrophysiological features, that was misdiagnosed as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
Case Report: A 30-year-old woman complained of proximal muscle weakness with difficulty climbing stairs.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the empathy and satisfaction levels of people with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) towards responses from neurologists versus ChatGPT for common questions.
- The results showed that ChatGPT's responses were perceived as more empathetic than those from neurologists, although no significant difference in overall satisfaction was found.
- The study suggests that while AI like ChatGPT can enhance patient interactions, physicians need to adapt to digital advancements and guide patients in effectively using AI tools in healthcare.
Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 204 patients who completed two years of cladribine treatment found that 75.4% did not start new treatments in the year following therapy, and there was a significant reduction in relapse rates after treatment.
- * The results suggest that cladribine is effective in lowering relapse rates and has a favorable safety profile, with lymphopenia being the main side effect; however, further larger studies are needed to confirm its long
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune chronic disease characterized by inflammation and demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS). Despite numerous studies conducted, valid biomarkers enabling a definitive diagnosis of MS are not yet available. The aim of our study was to identify a marker from a blood sample to ease the diagnosis of MS.

Uterine contractility is characterized by endometrial waves that originate from the junctional zone and varies throughout the menstrual cycle due to fluctuations in the concentrations of hormones. The aim of this study was to compare the uterine contractility patterns in the periovulatory phase in a group of patients with isolated adenomyosis and a group of healthy women using transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS).
