Hirayama disease, also known as non-progressive juvenile spinal muscular atrophy of the upper limbs, brachial monomelic amyotrophy, or benign focal atrophy, affects the C7 D1 myotomes; an electromyogram (EMG) shows neurogenic damage in the C7-C8-T1 territories. It causes weakness and amyotrophy of the distal upper limb. Although it usually occurs on one side only, bilateral symmetric cases of Hirayama disease have occasionally been described.

Background: The technical complexity of segmentectomy and preservation of lung parenchyma compared with lobectomy vary by lobe. This study evaluated the impact of non-small cell lung cancer tumor location on segmentectomy use and outcomes.

Methods: Outcomes after lobectomy or segmentectomy for cT1N0M0 (≤2 cm) non-small cell lung cancer patients stratified by tumor location in smaller (right upper/middle) vs larger (bilateral lower/left upper) lobes were evaluated with logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier curves, and Cox proportional hazards methods.

Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma has very poor prognosis, for which radical resection may be difficult. A 68-year-old man with pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma underwent bilateral pulmonary artery resection and replacement. At 31 months postoperatively, recurrence occurred at the anastomotic site of the right pulmonary artery.

Background: Disease-modifying therapies can improve motor function in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), but efficacy varies between individuals. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nusinersen treatment in children with SMA and to investigate prognostic factors.

Methods: Motor function, compound muscle action potential (CMAP), and other indicators were prospectively collected before and 14 months after nusinersen treatment.

Background: Different modes of motor acquisition, including motor execution (ME), motor imagery (MI), action observation (AO), and mirror visual feedback (MVF), are often used when learning new motor behavior and in clinical rehabilitation.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate differences in brain activation during different motor acquisition modes among healthy young adults.

Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 29 healthy young adults.
