Background: Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs) are a group of peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) with different variants in the PEX genes. The main biochemical marker for screening peroxisomal disorders is very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). The study reveals a rare case of PBD in the Zellweger spectrum in which she had normal plasma VLCFA levels.

- - Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) is an option for treating refractory epilepsy when surgery isn't viable, and this study explored using non-invasive methods like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) for presurgical evaluations instead of invasive techniques.
- - The study reviewed nine patients who underwent RNS placement, finding that MEG successfully characterized the irritative zone in eight patients, while TMS successfully mapped eloquent cortex areas in eight out of nine patients.
- - The results indicated that patients evaluated with non-invasive methods saw an average seizure reduction of 77%, similar to the 75% experienced by those evaluated invasively, suggesting that TMS and MEG are promising alternatives for optimizing R
Determination of language hemispheric dominance (HD) in patients undergoing evaluation for epilepsy surgery has traditionally relied on the sodium amobarbital (Wada) test. The emergence of non-invasive methods for determining language laterality has increasingly shown to be a viable alternative. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), compared to the Wada test, in determining language HD in a sample of 12 patients.

This study evaluated the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MCT) on corticosterone, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and monocyte responses to acute noise stress in male rats.
Design: Forty-two male Wistar rats were divided into seven groups, including control which was assessed at the beginning, control time which was assessed simultaneously with experimental groups (CT), HIIT, MCT, HIIT followed by noise stress (HIIT+S), MCT followed by noise stress (MCT+S), and noise stress.
Non-invasive methods such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) aid in the pre-surgical evaluation of patients with epilepsy or brain tumor to identify sensorimotor cortices. MEG requires sedation in children or patients with developmental delay. However, TMS can be applied to awake patients of all ages with any cognitive abilities.
