Functional (Dissociative) Narcolepsy: A Case Report and Literature Review
Case Presentation A 29-year-old male patient presented to the clinic with an unusual history of excessive daytime sleepiness, episodes of cataplexy characterized by muscle weakness triggered by emotional stimuli, and hypnagogic hallucinations. These symptoms began four years prior and had progressively worsened despite attempts to manage them with various lifestyle adjustments. His medical history was… Read more: Functional (Dissociative) Narcolepsy: A Case Report and Literature Review
Safety of short-term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use in the postoperative setting in paediatric patients with chronic kidney disease: protocol for a randomised, placebo-controlled trial
Study Overview The research aims to investigate the safety of short-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) after surgical procedures. This cohort is particularly vulnerable, as CKD can predispose patients to various complications, especially regarding pain management and medication tolerance. The goal is to evaluate whether NSAIDs can… Read more: Safety of short-term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use in the postoperative setting in paediatric patients with chronic kidney disease: protocol for a randomised, placebo-controlled trial
Functional (Dissociative) Narcolepsy: A Case Report and Literature Review
Study Overview This research investigates the phenomenon of functional (dissociative) narcolepsy, which is characterized by episodes of excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy that occur without the traditional neurobiological underpinnings of narcolepsy. Instead of arising from physiological abnormalities, these symptoms may be linked to psychosocial factors that influence a person’s consciousness and behavior. The case report… Read more: Functional (Dissociative) Narcolepsy: A Case Report and Literature Review
Case Report: Gait training using a wearable ankle-exoskeleton in a pediatric patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome
Study Overview This case report details the utilization of a wearable ankle-exoskeleton for gait training in a pediatric patient diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a neurological condition characterized by rapid-onset muscle weakness due to the immune system mistakenly attacking the peripheral nervous system. GBS can lead to significant complications, including prolonged immobility and, in some… Read more: Case Report: Gait training using a wearable ankle-exoskeleton in a pediatric patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome

Management of Functional Hearing Difficulties Using Low-Gain Amplification: Case Reports on Auditory Processing Evaluations
CONCLUSIONS: These cases highlight the importance of individualized assessment and treatment strategies for optimizing outcomes. LGHAs are a feasible intervention for individuals with "normal" hearing thresholds who experience significant communication difficulties, particularly in challenging listening environments. These devices can provide measurable benefits, such as improved perceived speech understanding and reduced hearing handicap, making them a […]
Vestibular Function in Judo Athletes: Evidence of Subclinical Vestibular Dysfunction
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that judo-induced microtraumas may selectively affect semicircular canal function while sparing otolith organ responses. The subclinical decrease in VOR gains in athletes suggests that repeated head accelerations and rotational movements may lead to subclinical VOR alterations even in the absence of overt symptoms.
Clinical Profile and Association Between Admission Glasgow Coma Scale and In-Hospital Mortality Among Children With Head Injury at a Tertiary Care Centre in Central India
Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of trauma-related morbidity and mortality in children worldwide, and injury patterns in low- and middle-income countries differ from those reported in high-income settings. Data from tertiary centres in central India remain limited. This study describes the clinical profile, management pattern, and in-hospital outcome of children admitted […]
Investigating acute-to-subacute neuroanatomical outcomes and the role of sex and age in adolescent concussion: A PedCARE+MRI substudy
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest cortical structures may not be affected within the first 4 weeks post-injury. Hippocampal volume was reduced in youth with concussion aged approximately 13 years and older from 72 h through 4 weeks post-injury, suggesting deviation from the positive age-hippocampal volume relationship in OI. This age-dependent pattern may suggest an acute-to-subacute neurodevelopmental […]
Feasibility, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness of an accelerated bilateral intermittent theta-burst stimulation protocol in adults with posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbid depressive disorder following mild traumatic brain injury
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive disorder, and persistent post-concussive symptoms commonly co-occur after mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Evidence is limited for accelerated bilateral intermittent theta-burst stimulation (AB-iTBS) in outpatient care for this triad. Single-site retrospective cohort of 64 AB-iTBS courses in 55 adults (aged 18-69; 52.7% female) with PTSD, depressive disorder, and predominantly mild […]
