AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A patient with acute purely motor polyneuropathy with positive GD1a ganglioside antibodies who presented with paresis in combination with hyperreflexia is reported. Neurophysiological tests revealed features compatible with acute motor axonal neuropathy. Therapy with intravenous immunoglobulin led to rapid clinical improvement. However, at the time when signs of active denervation appeared on electromyographic testing, the patient developed bilateral papillitis. The pathogenesis of pure motor Guillain-Barré syndrome with hyperreflexia and papillitis is discussed.

Numerous studies have reported benefits of music listening to support learning and motor rehabilitation. In the case of handwriting, previous studies suggested that musical background improves movement speed and fluency. Whether this benefit comes from the melody or is specifically related to the rhythmic cues provided by the music remains to be established.

J Family Med Prim Care
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, India.
Background: Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of Peripheral Neuropathy (using nerve conduction studies (NCS)) in children with transfusion-dependent thalassemia aged between 5 to 18 years and to study its correlation with chronic anemia, ferritin levels, chelation status, annual transfusion requirement, deficiency of serum Vitamin B12, and Folate levels.
Methods: In this hospital-based cross-sectional study, 100 eligible children were enrolled in a tertiary care teaching hospital in New Delhi, India. Neurological examinations focusing on peripheral neuropathy followed by NCS were performed on all the patients.
Stability-indicating spectrophotometric quantification of safinamide in the presence of its possible degradation product.
Sci Rep

In recent times, a truly exquisite pharmaceutical marvel has graced the world of medicine, known as Safinamide (SAF). This opulent creation has been specifically tailored to cater to the needs of individuals afflicted with Parkinson's disease (PD), an esteemed neurological condition renowned for its regal ability to impede motor skills, coordination, and equilibrium. It is highly improbable that degradation products of pharmaceutical components would significantly compromise efficiency and safety of a drug during its shelf life.
