Introduction: Although abdominal organ damage due to motor vehicle accident is often evident immediately after the injury and urgent operation is performed, it has been reported that minor injuries such as hollow viscus may become apparent during the course of treatment and require urgent surgery.
Case Report: The Authors present the case of a 42-year-old female who developed peritonitis immediately after undergoing surgery for thoracolumbar fracture-dislocation caused by a traffic accident. The patient exhibited no abdominal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, or abdominal wall rigidity, and had no difficulty with oral intake preoperatively.

HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) is a complication of chronic inflammation caused by HIV infection that impairs cognitive and motor functions. HAND can occur at any age, regardless of the duration of infection, even in people living with HIV (PLWH) whose blood viral load is controlled by antiretroviral therapy. The diagnosis of HAND requires a battery of neuropsychological tests, which is time-consuming and burdensome, limiting its effectiveness for screening PLWH.

Numerous studies have reported benefits of music listening to support learning and motor rehabilitation.

This study investigates two tests from the Neurological Functional Tests Suite (NeuFun-TS) smartphone application, the "Postural Sway" and "Pronator Drift" tests. These tests capture different domains of postural control and motoric dysfunction in healthy volunteers (n=13) and people with neurological disorders (n=68 relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis [MS]; n=21 secondary progressive MS; n=23 primary progressive MS; n=13 other inflammatory neurological diseases; n=21 non-inflammatory neurological diseases; n=4 clinically isolated syndrome; n=1 radiologically isolated syndrome).
