The asymptotic behavior of the survival or reunion probability of vicious walks with short-range interactions is generally well studied. In many realistic processes, however, walks interact with a long-ranged potential that decays in d dimensions with distance r as r(-d-σ). We employ methods of renormalized field theory to study the effect of such long-range interactions. We calculate the exponents describing the decay of the survival probability for all values of parameters σ and d to first order in the double expansion in ε=2-d and δ=2-d-σ. We show that there are several regions in the σ-d plane corresponding to different scalings for survival and reunion probabilities. Furthermore, we calculate the leading logarithmic corrections.

Postural instability and gait disturbance are associated with abnormal stereopsis in Parkinson's disease.
PLoS One

Department of Neurology, Korea University Guro Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Visual dysfunction, including abnormal stereopsis, is a significant non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD) that can reduce quality of life and appears early in the disease. Abnormal stereopsis is associated with worsening of bradykinesia and freezing of gait, though the exact pathways linking stereopsis to motor symptoms remain unclear. Furthermore, in PD patients, the pedunculopontine nucleus and laterodorsal tegmental complex play an active role in sensorimotor control, and these areas provide cholinergic projections.

Introduction: Extra-articular deformity is that located proximal to the femoral epicondyles or distal to the neck of the fibula. In patients with gonarthrosis associated with extra-articular deformity, a different evaluation and approach will be necessary at the time of planning the arthroplasty. 3D planning and printing techniques have had a major impact on pre-operative planning, allowing the production of custom guides at low cost and in an accessible way.

Article Synopsis
- * Eighteen patients with C-OPLL, specifically those experiencing myelopathy and deep sensory disturbances, were assessed alongside 18 healthy participants, utilizing motion analysis with wearable sensors.
- * Results indicated that C-OPLL patients with deep sensory disturbances adopted different neck postures, often bending their necks more while walking and climbing stairs, which could lead to further neck issues and worsening symptoms.
Comparison of functional outcomes and patient satisfaction in patients with lumbar canal stenosis with and without concomitant obesity following lumbar decompression surgery and their correlation with BMI.
J Clin Neurosci

Department of Neurosurgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Article Synopsis
- Obesity is linked to Lumbar Canal Stenosis (LCS) and can worsen patient mobility, making surgical decisions complicated for patients with both conditions.
- A study included 55 patients who underwent spinal decompression surgery, comparing those with obesity and those without, focusing on changes in body mass index (BMI) and patient satisfaction one year post-surgery.
- Results showed that obese patients lost weight and reduced BMI significantly after surgery, similar to non-obese patients in terms of improvement in mobility and satisfaction, suggesting that obesity should not prevent surgical treatment.
