We report a case of acute endocarditis with the unusual presentation of mononeuritis multiplex at onset. Mononeuropathy was the only detected neurological sign. The presence of muscular abscesses compressing the peripheral nervous system could lie at the basis of the pathophysiological mechanism responsible for acute mononeuropathy.

Sex Influence on Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation and Breath-Hold Diving Performance: Examination of the Autonomic Regulation of Cardiovascular Responses to Facial Cooling and Apnoea Across Sex and Varied Factors.

This review emphasises the importance of the cardiovascular response to facial cooling (FC) and breath holding in both sexes. The trigemino-cardiac reflex, triggered by FC, reduces heart rate (HR) and constricts blood vessels. When combined with breath holding, this effect intensifies, enhancing the cardiodepressive impact.

Endometriosis is described as the proliferation of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. This most frequently occurs within the pelvis and is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain in women of reproductive age. Rarely, endometriosis can manifest outside of the pelvis and can uncommonly involve the musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous systems.

Hodological patterning refers to developmental mechanisms that link the location of neurons in the brain or spinal cord to specific axonal trajectories that direct connectivity to synaptic targets either within the central nervous system or in the periphery. In vertebrate motor circuits, hodological patterning has been demonstrated at different levels, from the final motor output of somatic and preganglionic autonomic neurons targeting peripheral motoneurons and ganglion cells, to premotor inputs from spinal and brainstem neuron populations targeting the somatic motoneurons and preganglionic autonomic neurons, to cortical neurons that delegate movement commands to the brainstem and spinal neurons. In many cases molecular profiling reveals potential underlying mechanisms whereby selective gene expression creates the link between location and axon trajectory.

Tumor-nerve interactions play a critical role in tumor progression, metastasis, and treatment resistance, redefining our understanding of the tumor microenvironment. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of how the peripheral and central nervous systems contribute to cancer biology, focusing on mechanisms of neural invasion, immune evasion, and tumor adaptation. It has highlighted the emerging potential of repurposing nervous system-targeted drugs originally developed for neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases as innovative cancer therapies.
