Pupillary Dilation in an Adolescent With Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizures: A Case Report
Study Overview This case report centers on a unique occurrence of pupillary dilation in an adolescent diagnosed with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). Such seizures are characterized by episodes resembling epileptic seizures but without the typical electrical discharges in the brain. This report highlights the interplay between neurological manifestations and psychogenic factors, prompting an exploration of… Read more: Pupillary Dilation in an Adolescent With Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizures: A Case Report
‘No-No’ head movement as a true epileptic phenomenon – A case series with SEEG and signal processing evaluation
Phenomenon of No-No Head Movement The phenomenon characterized by repetitive side-to-side head movements often referred to as “No-No” head movement, manifests prominently in certain individuals, particularly those with specific neurological conditions. This movement resembles an affirmative gesture commonly seen in everyday life, yet in this context, it has significant clinical implications, particularly in the realm… Read more: ‘No-No’ head movement as a true epileptic phenomenon – A case series with SEEG and signal processing evaluation
Breed-specific coxofemoral morphometry in three dog breeds: Comparative evaluation of radiography and CT for orthopedic planning
Breed-Specific Morphometric Analysis Understanding the anatomical variations among different breeds of dogs is crucial, especially when it comes to orthopedic planning. Morphometric analysis, which involves measuring the size and shape of specific body parts, provides valuable insights into the coxofemoral joint, or hip joint, across various breeds. This analysis can indicate how these variations might… Read more: Breed-specific coxofemoral morphometry in three dog breeds: Comparative evaluation of radiography and CT for orthopedic planning
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in dialysis patients after ACHIEVE and ALCHEMIST: updated systematic review and meta-analysis of 14 randomized trials
Study Overview The recent systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in dialysis patients, drawing insights from the results of 14 randomized trials, including pivotal studies such as ACHIEVE and ALCHEMIST. These trials focused on understanding the impact of MRAs, particularly in the context of cardiovascular health and renal outcomes,… Read more: Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in dialysis patients after ACHIEVE and ALCHEMIST: updated systematic review and meta-analysis of 14 randomized trials
Pupillary Dilation in an Adolescent With Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizures: A Case Report
Case Presentation In this case study, we focus on a 15-year-old female who presented to the emergency department after experiencing a series of sudden, recurrent episodes that resembled seizures. The episodes included loss of consciousness, convulsive movements, and significant autonomic changes, including rapid heart rate and profuse sweating. These episodes occurred in the context of… Read more: Pupillary Dilation in an Adolescent With Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizures: A Case Report

Semi-immersive virtual reality protocol assessing gait and balance in remote concussion
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that semi-immersive virtual reality dual-task assessments, particularly those involving peripheral visual demands, may detect subtle post-concussion deficits often missed by standard evaluations. This highlights the potential of virtual reality based assistive technology tools to inform more personalised interventions. Such approaches may ultimately improve long-term outcomes and quality of life through more […]
Toward Effective Virtual Reality-Based Go/No-Go Cognitive Training to Support Return-to-Activity Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Service Members
CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary findings suggest that the RehabXR system effectively integrates Go/No-Go cognitive training into an immersive, combat-relevant VR environment and offers quantifiable metrics of inhibitory control. Across a four-week program, SOF personnel with mTBI generally demonstrated improved restraint, reduced dwell behavior, and fewer civilian-hitting errors. The RehabXR system addresses key gaps in existing rehabilitation tools […]
Normative Gray Matter Stiffness Gradients in the Human Brain Predict Patterns of Cortical Injury after Concussion
Finite-element modeling and in vivo MR strain mapping show that mechanical strain concentrates in the cortex, and late-life neurodegenerative sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are predominantly gray matter disorders. Nonetheless, in vivo evidence of acute gray matter damage after mild TBI (mTBI) has remained elusive. The empirical gap derives from a limitation of conventional […]
Analysis of the Injury Mechanism of Traumatic Craniocerebral Injury from Falls Based on Finite Element Simulation
CONCLUSIONS: Reconstructing the process of traumatic brain injury using the finite element method can provide new ideas for determining the mechanism of injury in complex forensic cases through biomechanical indicators.
Biomarkers for acute mild brain injury (BAMBI): optimising GFAP/UCH-L1 thresholds to support CT stewardship in a NICE-guided mild-traumatic-brain-injury cohort
CONCLUSION: In this NICE-imaged ED cohort, GFAP/UCH-L1 showed strong CT rule-out performance. Age-stratified interpretation substantially improved specificity, supporting larger prospective validation and pathway evaluation.
