Gait Parameters Alterations Under Dual-Task Conditions in Patients With Acquired and Hereditary Peripheral Neuropathies
Gait Alterations Under Dual-Task Conditions The ability to walk while performing another task, such as speaking or solving a problem, is a common requirement in daily life. However, for patients with peripheral neuropathies—conditions that affect the peripheral nerves and can result in weakness, numbness, and pain—the integration of these dual tasks can lead to significant… Read more: Gait Parameters Alterations Under Dual-Task Conditions in Patients With Acquired and Hereditary Peripheral Neuropathies
A sesquiterpene-rich essential oil from Cannabis sativa L. attenuates symptoms and neuroinflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model through a CB2-mediated signalling
Study Overview The research investigated the effects of a specific essential oil derived from Cannabis sativa L., which is notably rich in sesquiterpenes. This study is particularly relevant due to the increasing interest in plant-based therapies for chronic inflammatory conditions, including autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. The focus of the study was on a… Read more: A sesquiterpene-rich essential oil from Cannabis sativa L. attenuates symptoms and neuroinflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model through a CB2-mediated signalling
Margins of control: ventricular brain borders as architects in central nervous system autoimmunity
Ventricular Borders in CNS Autoimmunity The ventricular borders constitute a critical anatomical feature of the central nervous system (CNS), playing a significant role in the development and modulation of autoimmunity. This area encompasses the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles, which are filled with cerebrospinal fluid and lined by an ependymal layer. These borders are not… Read more: Margins of control: ventricular brain borders as architects in central nervous system autoimmunity
Accelerated 3D MRI for ARIA monitoring in Alzheimer’s disease
Accelerated 3D MRI Techniques Recent advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have led to the development of accelerated three-dimensional (3D) techniques, vital for enhancing the quality and speed of imaging in clinical settings. These innovations address the pressing need for quicker and more detailed imaging, particularly in investigations of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Accelerated 3D… Read more: Accelerated 3D MRI for ARIA monitoring in Alzheimer’s disease
Expert consensus on integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (2026 edition)
Background on Postherpetic Neuralgia Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a debilitating condition that can arise after the resolution of herpes zoster, commonly known as shingles. This painful condition is characterized by persistent neuropathic pain in the area previously affected by the shingles rash, which is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. The pain experienced… Read more: Expert consensus on integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (2026 edition)

A Multidimensional Approach to Acute Traumatic Brain Injury: What the NIH-NINDS CBI-M Framework Means for Emergency Medicine
Emergency physicians evaluate the full spectrum of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and generate the initial clinical descriptions that influence downstream care, follow-up, and patient expectations. Despite advances in neuroimaging, biomarker science, and systems of care, acute TBI is still commonly summarized using categorical labels: mild, moderate, and severe, derived from the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). […]
Sex Differences in Physical Activity and Energy Expenditure after Adolescent Concussion
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to males, female athletes recorded lower caloric expenditure but similar steps/day and RHR during a one-week monitoring period after concussion. PA and caloric expenditure increased throughout the monitoring week independent of sex, which may reflect improvement in symptoms or a gradual increase in PA based on guidance from their medical provider.
Rethinking Head Computed Tomography (CT) in the Emergency Department: From Reflex Imaging to Reasoned Care
Head computed tomography (CT) is among the most frequently ordered tests in emergency care, yet its use for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) remains highly variable. Contemporary practice patterns reflect this: head CT is obtained in >80% of emergency department (ED) evaluations for suspected mTBI, and in older adults presenting after a fall, approximately half […]
Blood Biomarkers for Identifying Epidural Hematoma in Patients Presenting with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 13-15: A Collaborative European Neurotrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) Study
Triage of patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and possible isolated epidural hematoma (iEDH) remains a clinical challenge. Blood-based biomarkers are being integrated into mTBI management, but their ability to identify patients with iEDH is uncertain. In this prospective, multicenter cohort study from the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury study, […]
Comparing people with persisting post-concussion symptoms from an emergency department-based research sample with patients in a clinical rehabilitation sample: an explorative, retrospective analysis
CONCLUSION: Treatment-seeking patients with persisting post-concussion symptoms differed in clinically important ways from people who developed persisting post-concussion symptoms in an emergency department-based mild traumatic brain injury study. Results from studies of mild traumatic brain injury seen in the emergency department may not generalize to patients seeking specialized treatment for persisting post-concussion symptoms.
