Pan-neurofascin autoimmune nodoparanodopathy: A case report and literature review.

Rationale: Locked-in syndrome (and its variant, completely locked-in state) generally has a high mortality rate in the acute setting; however, when induced by conditions such as acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, it may well be curable such that an attempt at cure should be systematically sought by clinicians.
Patient Concerns: A 52-year-old man presented with acute tetraparesia and areflexia, initially diagnosed as Guillain-Barré syndrome. Despite appropriate treatment, his condition deteriorated, evolving into a completely locked-in state.
Brain Function, Learning, and Role of Feedback in Complete Paralysis.

September 2024
Institute of Medical Psychology and Behavioral Neurobiology, Tübingen University, 72076 Tübingen, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- * The research suggests that despite paralysis, preserved cognitive processing can exist, as evidenced by the formation of sentences during communication sessions, challenging previous assumptions about complete loss of thought capabilities.
- * Emphasizing feedback and reinforcement as essential for effective communication, the study also highlights the significance of psychosocial factors and the length of immobilization in understanding barriers to communication in locked-in patients.
Fatal osmotic demyelination following urgent start hemodialysis in a patient with normal serum sodium.

Department of Nephrology, Sundaram Hospital, Trichy, India.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) in developing countries often start dialysis late, facing severe complications like high potassium levels and fluid buildup.
- An urgent hemodialysis case is discussed involving a middle-aged man who developed osmotic demyelination syndrome, a rare condition in this context, likely triggered by rapid changes in serum osmolality.
- The patient’s condition worsened from initial locked-in syndrome to respiratory failure, ultimately leading to his death, highlighting the risks associated with late dialysis initiation in ESKD.
Dilemma in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and expectations from brain-machine interfaces.

Objective: We hypothesized that patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) face a dilemma between motivation to live and difficulty in living, and brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) can reduce this dilemma. This study aimed to investigate the present situation of patients with ALS and their expectations from BMIs.
Materials And Methods: Our survey design consisted of an anonymous mail-in questionnaire comprising questions regarding the use of tracheostomy positive pressure ventilation (TPPV), motivation to live, anxiety about the totally locked-in state (TLS), anxiety about caregiver burden, and expectations regarding the use of BMI.
A review on the performance of brain-computer interface systems used for patients with locked-in and completely locked-in syndrome.

Patients with locked-in syndrome (LIS) and complete locked-in syndrome (CLIS) own a fully functional brain restricted within a non-functional body. In order to help LIS patients stay connected with their surroundings, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and related technologies have emerged. BCIs translate brain activity into actions that can be performed by external devices enabling LIS patients to communicate, leading to an increase in their quality of life.
