Hereditary spastic paraplegias represent a rare set of monogenic disorders encompassing 79 distinct genetic variations. The principal culprit behind recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia is frequently attributed to mutations in the spastic paraplegia gene, particularly type 11, closely followed by type 15. This category is typically characterized by nonspecific clinical features, including cognitive decline, which may precede the development of progressive lower limb weakness and spasticity.

- - This study analyzes the private healthcare sector in Morocco, identifying and categorizing its hospitals amid a growing global interest in private healthcare, especially in low- and middle-income countries
- - It includes data from 397 private hospitals in Morocco, revealing that most are for-profit, urban-based facilities with fewer than 100 beds and a median turnover of 9.8 million MAD
- - The research proposes three main categories of hospitals based on ownership, size, and governance: medium-sized for-profit hospitals, not-for-profit hospitals (including university hospitals), and small for-profit hospitals with low turnover, offering a framework that could apply to similar countries.
Nonketotic hyperglycaemia (NKH) is a metabolic disorder typically observed in individuals with inadequately managed or undiagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM). Seizures are a common clinical presentation in NKH, and they tend to respond better to glucose correction than anticonvulsant therapy. MRI scans may reveal both subcortical T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging hypointensity and cortical changes, including cortical grey matter T2/FLAIR imaging hyperintensity and cortical or leptomeningeal enhancement, although cortical abnormalities are less frequently observed.
