Sulthiame is effectively used in the treatment of benign and symptomatic focal epilepsy in children. Hyperventilation as a symptom is a well known adverse effect of the drug. Alterations of the acid-base equilibrium have been described for the drug, however, very infrequently only in adults without a detailed evaluation of the disorders status. The case presented here demonstrates a mild compensated metabolic acidosis in a child which, for the first time, is described using the methods of complete blood gas and electrolytes analysis.

Background: Dementia represents a significant health challenge, with evidence suggesting that it can be potentially delayed or prevented through non-pharmacological interventions. There are different types of non-pharmacological interventions for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The Aging Well through Interaction and Scientific Education (AgeWISE) Program is a notable cognitive intervention designed to educate both individuals experiencing normal aging and those with age-related diseases.

Aim: Home care nurses support patients with COVID-19 with mild to moderate symptoms at home due to the lack of community-based support. Little is known about how nurses initiated and maintained support for patients with COVID-19. This study explored the experiences of home care nurses in supporting patients with COVID-19 at home.

Background: This study aimed to assess the screening properties of Foderaro et al.s' updated normative framework for the Italian MMSE in detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia due to neurodegenerative, chronic cerebrovascular, and mixed etiologies, as well as in differentiating between these two syndromes.
Methods: Data on 234 patients with either MCI (N = 83) or dementia (N = 151) due to Alzheimer's disease (N = 112), Lewy body disease (N = 11), frontotemporal lobar degeneration (N = 20), chronic cerebrovascular disease (N = 39), or mixed (N = 47) etiologies having been administered Foderaro et al.

Osteochondroma (OC) is a common bone tumour that rarely affects the mandibular condylar process. This pathology can show typical clinical features, such as facial asymmetry, deviation of the chin and dental inferior midline, changes in condylar morphology and malocclusion with an increased posterior mandibular vertical height. The management of condylar OC is a debated topic among surgeons.

Humans can perform movements in various physical environments and positions (corresponding to different experienced gravity), requiring the interaction of the musculoskeletal system, the neural system and the external environment. The neural system is itself comprised of several interactive components, from the brain mainly conducting motor planning, to the spinal cord (SC) implementing its own motor control centres through sensory reflexes. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether similar movements in various environmental dynamics necessitate adapting modulation at the brain level, correcting modulation at the spinal level, or both.
