The results are presented of treatment with gangliosides (Cronassial) in 5 patients with late postpoliomyelitis syndrome. Clinical and electrophysiological examination were done before and after three months of treatment. Only subjective improvement was found. A year-long follow-up failed to fluid progression of the signs and symptoms that, formerly, were progressing slowly. It seems that Cronassial administration (in larger doses and for a longer time) is justified in patients with peripheral motor neuron lesion.

Article Synopsis
- People with late effects of polio (LEoP) often require rehabilitation, but there's limited understanding of how effective interdisciplinary rehabilitation is for them.
- A study measured the changes in performance and satisfaction in daily activities before and after rehabilitation in 102 LEoP participants, using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM).
- The results showed significant improvements in performance and satisfaction scores, indicating that interdisciplinary rehabilitation can be beneficial, though a portion of participants did not experience changes or had decreased ratings.*

Article Synopsis
- Poliomyelitis is a serious disease that affects millions of people worldwide, and many survivors can experience ongoing problems like muscle weakness and fatigue, known as post-poliomyelitis syndrome (PPS).* -
- Researchers wanted to learn more about the immune system's role in PPS by comparing certain immune cells and factors between people with PPS and healthy controls.* -
- The study found that while the two groups were similar in several areas, PPS patients had higher levels of a specific enzyme in their blood, but overall, their immune responses were similar to healthy individuals.*

Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of fibromyalgia(FM) and to show its relations with symptoms, polio-related impairments (PRI), and quality of life (QoL) in persons with prior paralytic poliomyelitis (PsPP) with and without post-polio syndrome (PPS).
Materials And Methods: The study included 74 PsPP under 60 years of age, 60 of whom met the criteria for PPS. Presence and severity of FM were assessed by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1990, 2010, and 2016 criteria, and Fibromyalgia Severity Score.
