Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP), examining how quickly the condition worsens and how genetic factors, particularly the HLA-DQA1*05 allele, might influence its development.
- - Out of 57 patients analyzed over an average of 7 years, the DQA1*05 allele was notably more common in those with CIAP compared to healthy individuals, suggesting a potential genetic link.
- - The findings indicated that patients with length-dependent CIAP experience a steady decline in nerve function over time, with significant annual decreases in nerve amplitudes, highlighting the need for further research into the role of the immune system in CIAP.
The role of the hippocampus in spatial navigation and the presence of vestibular-responsive neurons in limbic areas are well-established from animal experiments. However, hippocampal spatial processing in humans is not fully understood. Here, we employed real whole body and head-on-trunk rotations to investigate how vestibular signals, either alone or in combination with neck-proprioceptive stimulation, shape the spatial frame of reference in patients with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis (HS).

Rationale: The hypomethylating agent 5-azacytidine has been approved in Europe for patients with intermediate 2 and high (i.e., higher) risk myelodysplastic syndrome according to the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS).

Primary skeletal muscle presentation of DLBCL is extremely rare, with an estimated incidence of about 0.5% of extranodal lymphomas, presenting mostly in the lower extremities.
