Based on the data obtained from the individual measurements, progress was noted in locomotor and self-service activities. In the experimental group, patients who were immobilized during the initial stage of the study, regained independence to a considerable extent to the end of the study--more so in Group E (experimental), compared to Group K (control). Non-significant differences were noted between the two groups in the values concerning self-service independence; however, the effects were higher in Group E, and the differences indicated by means of the test function remained on the level of significance p = 0.001.

Background: Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) occurs with high prevalence among critically ill patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is associated with worse outcomes. The PSH-Assessment Measure (PSH-AM) consists of a Clinical Features Scale and a diagnosis likelihood tool (DLT) intended to quantify the severity of sympathetically mediated symptoms and the likelihood that they are due to PSH, respectively, on a daily basis. Here, we aim to identify and explore the value of dynamic trends in the evolution of sympathetic hyperactivity following acute TBI using elements of the PSH-AM.

Purpose: Previous research on pediatric motor vehicle collisions (MVC) and fatalities has primarily focused on patient demographics and crash specific information. This study evaluates whether various measures of local infrastructure, including the National Walk Index (NWI), population density, and public school density, or macroeconomic forces, encapsulated in Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and food area deprivation (PFA) can predict which counties are most at risk for pediatric traffic fatalities.
Methods: Counties with more than 100,000 children in the most recent US census and ≥1 pediatric traffic fatality as identified in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) between 2017 and 2021 were included in the study.
Verticality perception in patients with active multiple sclerosis: The applicability of subjective visual vertical test and its modifications.

Background: Dizziness and balance disturbances are common in patients with MS. Subjective visual vertical (SVV) is a test of vestibular perception that allows clinicians to evaluate the integration of multiple sensory inputs for spatial orientation in the CNS. We hypothesize that central vestibular impairment caused by active MS lesions may be reflected in the modified SVV testing.

Data about the effect of Ramadan fasting on seizure control among adolescents with epilepsy (AWE) is scarce. Several psycho-behavioral problems have also been encountered in this teenage group. This study aimed to assess seizure frequency and behavioral outcomes after Ramadan fasting in a sample of AWE METHODS: In this prospective study, AWE who completed fasting during Ramadan 2024 were evaluated regarding the seizure frequency of each type during Shaban (the month immediately preceding Ramadan) and Ramadan.

Aims: Neuron death is caused primarily by apoptosis after spinal cord injury (SCI). Autophagy, as a cellular response, can maintain cellular homeostasis to reduce apoptosis. We aimed to investigate the effect and the mechanism of vimentin knockdown on autophagy and neural recovery after SCI.
