A comparison of individual force decline profiles during a fatiguing eccentric trunk flexion and extension protocol: a pilot study.

Introduction: Muscle fatigue, characterized by diminished force production and contraction sustainability, can impair muscle coordination and increase joint instability. Differing force profiles used in fatiguing tasks, such as prolonged eccentric trunk protocols, might provide insights into individualized strategies and resulting spinal stability. Thus, this study assessed individual differences in fatigue characteristics during an eccentric trunk flexion-extension protocol in a population of asymptomatic individuals.

Injury to the circuit of Papez: An overlooked cause of recurrent seizures.

Key Clinical Message: Papez' circuit is a unique neural pathway in the limbic system that is correlated with seizure activity. Injuries affecting Papez' circuit are often small and unusual in location but can be identifiable in MRI and functional imaging modalities, which can be helpful in the workup of refractory epilepsy.

Abstract: The Papez circuit is a unique neural pathway in the limbic system of the brain.

Cerebral developmental venous anomalies in children with mismatch repair deficiency.

Background: Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) is one of the rare cancer predisposition syndromes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cerebral developmental venous anomalies in children with central nervous system tumors associated with CMMRD, an area in which there is extremely little experience.

Methods: Data from children diagnosed with medulloblastoma and high grade central nervous sytem tumor were retrospectively collected.

Can Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast Perfusion Imaging be Utilized to Detect Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Gene Mutation in Gliomas?

Aim: To explore the ability of dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion imaging (DSC-PI) to detect isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutation in gliomas.

Material And Methods: Preoperative DSC-PI data on histopathologically proven gliomas obtained between January 2015 and December 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. All magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed using a 1.

Hyponatremia and extrapontine myelinolysis in a patient with COVID-19: A case report.

Until we have strong evidence to the contrary, symptomatic hyponatremia should be treated with extra caution in COVID-19 co-infection patients as the latter could be another risk factor for the development of extrapontine myelinolysis.
