Introduction: Involvement of the autonomic nervous system during Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is rare. Localised hyperhydrosis and Claude Bernard Horner (CBH) syndrome have never been reported in patients with CIDP.
Case Report: We report the case of a 65-year-old right handed man who presented with hyperhydrosis localised to the right hemithorax and hemiface and a left CBH syndrome. After an extensive workup, the patient was found to have CIDP as the only cause of autonomic nervous system involvement. The symptoms resolved slowly after three courses of intravenous immunoglobulins.
Conclusion: Signs of autonomic nervous system involvement can be observed in CIDP as in Guillain-Barré syndrome. This case report shows that immunomodulatory treatment can be effective against dysautonomia in CIDP.

Background: Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome may both cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. Irritable bowel syndrome not only is an important differential diagnosis for Crohn's disease but also occurs in one out of three patients with Crohn's disease in remission in parallel. If not adequately diagnosed and treated, additional functional symptoms such as fatigue and/or muscle pain may develop, indicating a more severe course.

Background: Maintaining the connection between skeletal muscle fibers and the surrounding basement membrane is essential for muscle function. Dystroglycan (DG) serves as a basement membrane extracellular matrix (ECM) receptor in many cells, and is also expressed in the outward-facing membrane, or sarcolemma, of skeletal muscle fibers. DG is a transmembrane protein comprised of two subunits: alpha-DG (α-DG), which resides in the peripheral membrane, and beta-DG (β-DG), which spans the membrane to intracellular regions.

Purpose: The prognosis of relapsed primary central nervous system lymphoma remains a concern. This study aimed to compare the effects of various patient- and disease-related factors on the prognosis of relapsed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).
Methods: We retrospectively collected real-world data from eight Finnish hospitals on 198 patients diagnosed with PCNSL between 2003 and 2020.

The visual evaluation of data derived from screening and optimization experiments in the development of new analytical methods poses a considerable time investment and introduces the risk of subjectivity. This study presents a novel approach to processing such data, based on factor analysis of mixed data and hierarchical clustering - multivariate techniques implemented in the R programming language. The methodology is demonstrated in the early-stage screening and optimization of the chromatographic separation of 15 structurally diverse drugs that affect the central nervous system, using a custom R Language script.
