Exploring the Influence of Concurrent Nutritional Therapy on Children with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Receiving Nusinersen Treatment.

Background This study examines spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a neuromuscular disease associated with malnutrition. Our goals are to assess how effectively screening tools can detect malnutrition and evaluate the impact of nutritional interventions on neurological outcomes, particularly motor functions. Methods Thirty-seven genetically diagnosed SMA patients (types 1, 2, and 3) under nusinersen therapy were included in the study.

A multicenter study of radiologically isolated syndrome in children and adolescents: Can we predict the course?

Objectives: To evaluate clinical characteristics, imaging features and etiological profile of Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS) along with clinical and radiological follow-up.

Methods: Demographic, clinical and radiological data of patients younger than 18 years fulfilling the criteria for RIS were retrospectively analyzed. RIS was defined by the detection of lesions meeting the revised 2010 McDonald Criteria for dissemination in space on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the absence of any symptoms of demyelinating disease or an alternative cause for the MRI findings.

A Retrospective Cohort Study to Determine Whether the Previous Route of Delivery Affects the Uterine Artery Blood Flow.

Introduction:  In our study, we aimed to investigate the effect of the previous delivery route on uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) and obstetric outcome. We aim to assess the effects of previous cesarean delivery (CD) and placental location on first- and second-trimester uterine artery Doppler indices as well as first-trimester pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) multiples of the median (MoM) levels in the subsequent pregnancy.

Materials And Methods:  We designed a retrospective cohort study to collect the participants' clinical and uterine artery Doppler.

The effects of nusinersen treatment on respiratory status of children with spinal muscular atrophy.

Background: Respiratory involvement is the main factor predicting the prognosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Significant responses in motor functions have been demonstrated with nusinersen, but pulmonary outcomes are still varied. We aimed to explore the effects of nusinersen on the respiratory functions of patients with SMA.
