We report the occurrence of a tic in a boy with Down's syndrome. The movement disorder was induced by carbamazepine (CBZ) and resolved completely after discontinuation of CBZ. The development of tics seems to be a rare, idiosyncratic side effect of CBZ in children.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in men worldwide. An early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and prognosis. Traditional invasive procedures such as image-guided prostate biopsy often cause discomfort and complications, deterring some patients from undergoing these necessary tests.

Objective: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is the most important molecular marker of glioma and is highly correlated to the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients. We proposed a real-time diagnosis method for IDH status differentiation based on automatic analysis of intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) video.
Methods: Inspired by the Time Intensity Curve (TIC) analysis of CEUS utilized in clinical practice, this paper proposed an automatic CEUS video analysis method called ATAN (Automatic TIC Analysis Network).

Article Synopsis
- Tic disorders (TDs) are varied neurodevelopmental conditions linked to issues in the CSTC circuit; this article discusses a case study of a 9-year-old boy with simple tics due to a thalamic brain tumor.
- Brain imaging showed a mass in the left thalamus, and after its removal, the boy's tic symptoms completely resolved, indicating the thalamus's role in the condition.
- The literature review highlighted similar cases where TDs were associated with brain tumors affecting the CSTC circuit, often accompanied by more complex tic symptoms and comorbidities.

Article Synopsis
- Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a painful disorder affecting the trigeminal nerve, causing severe facial pain and often requiring treatments like medications or surgical procedures when drugs are ineffective.
- This study analyzed 483 TN cases over five years to understand patient demographics, focusing on age, gender, and which divisions of the trigeminal nerve were most affected.
- Results showed that the average patient age was around 60 years, with the majority experiencing pain on the right side of the face, primarily affecting the maxillary (V2) and mandibular (V3) nerve divisions.

Tourette syndrome (TS) affects about 0.5% of the population worldwide, but only sparse and conflicting data exist on TS prevalence among minority samples. Here we used VISIT-TS (a survey preceded by a short video showing tic phenomenology) and community outreach to provide estimates of tic disorder prevalence in African Americans.
