Article Synopsis
  • The study explores myoclonus dystonia caused by a variant in the SGCE gene, focusing on the microarchitectural brain abnormalities linked to this rare condition.
  • Researchers compared the brain structures of 18 MYC/DYT-SGCE patients with 24 healthy volunteers using advanced imaging techniques to assess neurite organization.
  • Results indicate that patients exhibited changes in cerebellar structure, with specific alterations correlating to the severity of dystonia, while no links were found between myoclonus severity and the microarchitectural measurements.

Article Synopsis
  • Current guidelines suggest using brain MRI for managing patients with severe herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE), but its ability to predict outcomes remains unclear.
  • The study aimed to explore how early brain MRI results correlate with the patients' functional recovery 90 days post-ICU admission.
  • An analysis of data from 138 patients revealed that poor MRI findings (like abnormal signals in multiple brain lobes) and older age were significant predictors of worse outcomes, with 68.8% experiencing poor recovery or death.

Assessment of biphasic calcium phosphate to repair nasal septum defects in sheep.

Plast Reconstr Surg

January 2011

Bordeaux, France From the Unité 577 INSERM/Université Victor Segalen Bordeaux 2; the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University Hospital of Pellegrin, F-X Michelet Center; the CIC-IT University Hospital of Bordeaux/INSERM; and the Pathology Department, Pellegrin Hospital.

Background: Saddle nose and septal perforations are among the most surgically challenging situations in nasal reconstruction. They require a significant volume of autologous graft and a complex surgical procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of the biphasic calcium phosphate implant in the nasal septum and its ability to replace septal skeleton with unilateral or bilateral exposure.
