We present a four-year-old wth ethylmalonic encephalopathy who presented with delayed walking. She had bilateral hyperintense lesions in the basal ganglia. Molecular analysis revealed a homozygous c.3G>T mutation in the ETHE1 gene. She did not have typical findings of the disease including recurrent petechia, chronic diarrhea and acrocyanosis was very subtle and orthostatic. She benefited from riboflavine and Q10 treatments. We suggest that acrocyanosis should be questioned and examined in patients with motor delay.

Background: Cladribine tablets (CladT) are a multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapy (DMT) with safety and efficacy established in the CLARITY trial and extension. A better understanding of the role of CladT in real-world populations is needed, including the clinical and radiographic trajectories of persons with MS (PwMS) treated with CladT and how CladT compares to other MS DMTs.
Methods: PwMS receiving CladT at 4 tertiary MS centers were identified and characterized.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks structures of the central nervous system, resulting in lesions that can occur throughout the brain and spinal cord. Cortical lesions, in particular, can contribute to motor dysfunction. Walking disability is reported as the main impairment by people with MS (pwMS), often due to limited ankle movement.

Understanding metabolic cost through biomechanical data, including ground reaction forces (GRFs) and joint moments, is vital for health, sports, and rehabilitation. The long stabilization time (2-5 min) of indirect calorimetry poses challenges in prolonged tests. This study investigated using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict metabolic costs from the GRF and joint moment time series.

Selectively stopping individual parts of planned or ongoing movements is an everyday motor skill. For example, while walking in public you may stop yourself from waving at a stranger who you mistook for a friend while continuing to walk. Despite its ubiquity, our ability to selectively stop actions is limited.

Purpose: Noonan syndrome and related disorders (NS) are multisystemic conditions affecting approximately 1:1000 individuals. Previous natural history studies were conducted prior to widespread comprehensive genetic testing. This study provides updated longitudinal natural history data in participants with molecularly confirmed NS.
