In the global context, advancements in technology and science have rendered virtual, augmented, and mixed-reality technologies capable of transforming clinical care and medical environments by offering enhanced features and improved healthcare services. This paper aims to present a mixed reality-based system to control a robotic wheelchair for people with limited mobility. The test group comprised 11 healthy subjects (six male, five female, mean age 35.

- This study looked at two brain diseases: Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH), which can be hard to tell apart because they have similar symptoms.
- Researchers used machine learning to analyze brain scans from patients with these diseases and compare them with healthy people.
- They found that iNPH patients had more noticeable brain changes (like thinning in certain areas) than PSP patients, and the machine learning model was really good at telling the differences between the two diseases, which could help doctors make better decisions for treatment.
The clinical differential diagnosis between Parkinson's disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is often challenging. The description of milder PSP phenotypes strongly resembling PD, such as PSP-Parkinsonism, further increased the diagnostic challenge and the need for reliable neuroimaging biomarkers to enhance the diagnostic certainty. This review aims to summarize the contribution of a relatively simple and widely available imaging technique such as MR planimetry in the differential diagnosis between PD and PSP, focusing on the recent advancements in this field.

Moreover, no large study explored the cerebellum in ET patients with resting tremor (rET), a syndrome showing enhanced blink reflex recovery cycle (BRrc).
Objective: To investigate cerebellar GM in ET and rET patients using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis.
