AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to explore sensory processing alterations in individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI), focusing on hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity across multiple sensory modalities (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory).
- - Involving 68 patients with brain or spinal cord tumors, the research assessed cognitive and emotional functions while evaluating sensory sensitivity changes at two stages: after disease onset and post-surgery.
- - Findings revealed that a notable number of participants reported sensory abnormalities, especially in visual (hypersensitivity) and auditory/tactile (hyposensitivity), and some sensory changes were linked to depressive states, albeit the conclusions were not definitive.
Article Abstract
Objectives: Hyper- and hyposensitivity in multiple modalities have been well-documented in subjects with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) but not in subjects with acquired brain injury (ABI). The purpose of this study was to determine whether subjects with ABI experience altered sensory processing in multiple sensory modalities, and to examine the relationships between impaired sensory processing and the emotional state.
Methods And Procedures: Sixty-eight patients with brain or spinal cord tumors participated in the study. Cognitive ability and emotional function were tested, and subjective changes were evaluated in two directions (hyper- and hyposensitivity) and five modalities (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory) at two time points (after disease onset and after surgery).
Results: One-fifth of the participants complained of hypersensitivity in the visual domain, and a similar proportion complained of hyposensitivity in the auditory and tactile domains. Additionally, one-third of participants complained of two or more sensory abnormalities after disease onset. A hierarchical regression analysis indicated that auditory and tactile sensory changes predicted a depressive state.
Conclusion: In conclusion, multimodal sensory changes occurred in patients with brain tumors, manifesting as hyper- or hyposensitivity. Sensory changes might be related to depressive state, but the results were inconclusive.

Altered cerebral gray matter volume and functional connectivity in patients with residual dizziness of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Clin Radiol
December 2024
Department of Neurology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China. Electronic address:
Aim: To provide a theoretical basis for the study of the pathogenesis of residual dizziness (RD) from the perspective of imaging.
Materials And Methods: The general clinical data of the RD group and healthy control (HC) group were statistically analysed by two independent sample t tests, rank sum tests or chi-square tests. The imaging data of the two groups of people were preprocessed and statistically analysed by using the data processing and analysis for brain imaging (DPABI) software package.
Efficacy comparison and outcome predictors of GPi- and STN-targeted deep brain stimulation for Meige syndrome: a systematic review of individual patient data.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Meige syndrome, compare the efficacy of globus pallidus internus (GPi) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) as targets, and identify potential outcome predictors.
Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched to collect individual data from patients with Meige syndrome receiving DBS. Outcomes were assessed using the Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale motor (BFMDRS-M) and disability (BFMDRS-D) scores.
Development and validation of a radiomics-visual evoked potential nomogram for preoperative prediction of visual outcome after endoscopic craniopharyngioma resection.

Objective: Craniopharyngiomas are rare, benign brain tumors that are primarily treated with surgery. Although the extended endoscopic endonasal approach (EEEA) has evolved as a more reliable surgical alternative and yields better visual outcomes than traditional craniotomy, postoperative visual deterioration remains one of the most common complications, and relevant risk factors are still poorly defined. Hence, identifying risk factors and developing a predictive model for postoperative visual deterioration is indeed necessary.

Objective: Awake craniotomy is commonly used to resect lesions located near the language area during brain surgery. However, it is often difficult to perform language tasks due to several limitations such as difficulty in awakening during surgery and intraoperative seizures. This study investigated the clinical significance of bidirectional corticocortical evoked potential (CCEP) monitoring as a new approach to evaluate intraoperative language function.

Background: Digital technologies for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) care hold great potential to improve patients' health in the long term. Only a subset of telemedicine offerings are digital interventions that meet the criteria for prescribable digitale Gesundheitsanwendung (digital health apps; DiGAs) in Germany. Digital treatments further provide vast amounts of patient data that are important to generate evidence.
