The combined effects of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (tES) of the spinal cord and affective sound stimulation on postural control were investigated to elucidate the involvement of spinal networks in the maintenance of vertical stability. Healthy volunteers (n = 27) underwent tES and sound stimulation separately and combined quasi-randomly. All participants were field-dependent; i.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFGliomas are a heterogeneous group of brain tumors, among which the most aggressive subtype is glioblastoma, accounting for 60% of cases in adults. Available systemic treatment options are few and ineffective, so new approaches to therapies for glioblastoma are in high demand. In total, 131 patients with diffuse glioma were studied.

- Metastatic colorectal cancer has a low 5-year survival rate of under 15%, with common metastasis sites being the lungs and liver, while skin metastases are rare and often indicate a worse prognosis.
- A case study of a 62-year-old woman revealed skin metastases from rectal cancer developed two years after treatment, confirming these through histological examination, although differing mutations were found between the primary tumor and skin lesions.
- Despite treatment with FOLFOX6 chemotherapy and bevacizumab, the therapy failed, highlighting the need for close monitoring of skin for metastases in rectal cancer patients, as literature suggests median survival after detection is only 8.5 months.
The study explored the effects of transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation (tES) on postural control. Subjects were divided into field-dependent (FD) and field-independent (FI) groups according to their cognitive style. FD subjects use an exteroceptive afferent stream for spatial orientation, while FI subjects use an interoceptive stream.

- Diagnosing skin diseases in children is complex, and Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare hereditary condition that can lead to serious complications like squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in young patients.
- A case study involving a 10-year-old girl with IP highlights the importance of an interdisciplinary approach, with input from multiple specialists including dermatologists, geneticists, and oncologists.
- Genetic evaluations confirmed a mutation in the gene responsible for IP in the family, leading to successful treatment over a 2-year period, while also revealing varied symptoms among affected family members.
