Published: April 2017

Work-related stress may exert a negative impact on a variety of physical and psychological attributes relating to the health of employees and work organizations. Several studies conducted in Italy have shown that workers and employees who express less satisfaction show increased symptoms of obesity and cognitive disability. The latest evidence underlines the pathogenic relationship between stress and neurological disease through inflammatory neuro- immune activation. The aim of this review was to describe the relationship between workplace stress and adverse changes in lifestyle that develop into obesity, neuroinflammation and cognitive dysfunction. The molecular mechanisms involved and guidelines for the prevention of these trends are discussed briefly.

Background: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by mutations in the or genes, leading to dysregulation of the mTOR pathway and multisystemic manifestations. Epilepsy is a common neurologic feature of TSC, frequently accompanied by neuropsychiatric comorbidities. Understanding the relationship between epilepsy severity, TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND), and cognitive outcomes is crucial for optimizing patient care.

Background: Axial postural abnormalities (APAs) are frequent and disabling axial symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Image-based measurement is considered the gold standard but may not accurately detect the true severity of APAs because these symptoms can appear or get worse under dynamic conditions.

Objective: The aim was to evaluate quantitative changes in APAs degree during prolonged standing and walking in both single- and dual-task conditions (motor + cognitive).

Novel De Novo Intronic Variant of SYNGAP1 Associated With the Neurodevelopmental Disorders.

Mol Genet Genomic Med

February 2025

Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology, Gothenburg University, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Background: SYNGAP1 encodes a Ras/Rap GTPase-activating protein that is predominantly expressed in the brain with the functional roles in regulating synaptic plasticity, spine morphogenesis, and cognition function. Pathogenic variants in SYNGAP1 have been associated with a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, hypotonia, and the features of autism spectrum disorder. The aim of this study was to identify a novel SYNGAP1 gene variant linked to neurodevelopmental disorders and to evaluate the pathogenicity of the detected variant.

Standardised activities in wheelchair rugby, comparison between athletes with coordination impairment and athletes with other impairments.

Front Sports Act Living

January 2025

Peter Harrison Centre for Disability Sport, School of Sport, Exercise, and Health Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough, United Kingdom.

Introduction: To determine if athletes with coordination impairment (CI) can continue playing wheelchair rugby (WR), while an evidence-based classification system, including impairment tests for CI is not yet available. This is a defensible practise if they show similar activity limitations as athletes with other eligible impairment types (OI) within the same sports class.

Methods: Standardised activities were measured in 58 elite WR athletes; 14 with CI and 44 with OI.

Manual wheelchair training programs: a scoping review of educational approaches and intended learning outcomes.

BMC Med Educ

January 2025

School of Allied Health Science and Practice, Engineering Math and Science Building, University of Adelaide, North Terrace, Level 4, Adelaide, South Australia, 5005, Australia.

Background: Training programs grounded in educational theory offer a systematic framework to facilitate learning and outcomes. This scoping review aims to map the educational approaches documented for manual wheelchair training and to record intended learning outcomes and any relationships between learning theories, instructional design and outcomes.

Methods: Eight databases; Cochrane's Library, EMBASE, CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, EmCare, Medline, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Database and grey literature were searched in September 2023, with citation chaining for relevant papers.
