Cervical Sympathetic Blockade for Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures Associated With Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: A Case Report and Neurobiological Framework
Clinical Presentation and Background The patient discussed in this case report presented with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) as a complication of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This individual had a significant history of trauma, which is not uncommon among individuals diagnosed with PTSD, suggesting a strong correlation between psychological stressors and the onset of seizure-like episodes… Read more: Cervical Sympathetic Blockade for Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures Associated With Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: A Case Report and Neurobiological Framework
Cervical Sympathetic Blockade for Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures Associated With Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: A Case Report and Neurobiological Framework
Study Overview In this case report, we explore the application of cervical sympathetic blockade as a treatment for psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) that are associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This particular report aims to contribute to the understanding of how intrusive symptoms tied to psychological trauma can manifest as seizures, despite the absence of… Read more: Cervical Sympathetic Blockade for Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures Associated With Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: A Case Report and Neurobiological Framework
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Central and/or Peripheral Nervous System Demyelination in Patients Treated With Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-alpha) Inhibitors
Study Overview The research conducted is a systematic review and meta-analysis that critically evaluates the incidence and implications of demyelinating diseases within the central and/or peripheral nervous systems in patients receiving treatment with Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors. These biologic agents are widely prescribed for various autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease,… Read more: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Central and/or Peripheral Nervous System Demyelination in Patients Treated With Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-alpha) Inhibitors
Computational analysis of pathogenic nsSNPs in the human TNF gene and their role in neuroinflammation in Adrenoleukodystrophy
Pathogenic Role of nsSNPs Non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) are variations in the DNA sequence that lead to changes in the amino acid sequence of proteins. In the context of the TNF gene, which encodes a crucial inflammatory cytokine, these amino acid alterations can have significant functional consequences. The pathogenic role of nsSNPs in the… Read more: Computational analysis of pathogenic nsSNPs in the human TNF gene and their role in neuroinflammation in Adrenoleukodystrophy
Exploring Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and the Therapeutic Potential of BTK Inhibitors Based on EBV-driven B Cell-microglia Interactions
Understanding Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) is a complex neurodegenerative disease that constitutes a significant challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. Unlike relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, which are marked by intermittent episodes of neurological symptoms, progressive MS is characterized by a gradual worsening of these symptoms over time. This leads to… Read more: Exploring Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and the Therapeutic Potential of BTK Inhibitors Based on EBV-driven B Cell-microglia Interactions

Translation and psychometric validation of the symptom catastrophizing scale in cardiac surgery patients: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: The Chinese Symptom Catastrophizing Scale demonstrated satisfactory initial reliability and validity evidence in cardiac surgery patients. It provides a brief, standardized, patient-centered measure for identifying maladaptive symptom responses and may facilitate early psychological risk screening, targeted symptom management, and future patient-reported outcome research.
Living status and multidomain clinical outcomes in adults following acute mild traumatic brain injury
CONCLUSIONS: Adults living alone demonstrated a significant increase in cognitive/fatigue, depression, and stress-related symptoms from
Match injury profiles in female South African youth and senior rugby union players
CONCLUSIONS: Injury rates decreased with age in the national women's rugby competitions, with Senior players demonstrating a significantly lower overall injury rate than the U16 age group. Injury rates for adult players were similar to current international women's rugby union, while youth (U16, U18, U20) injury rates were lower than previously reported. Given the frequency […]
Association between acute GFAP status and 6-month cognitive performance after mild traumatic brain injury: an exploratory follow-up study

History of Head Injury and Risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: An Updated Comprehensive Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis of 5,033,215 Participants
CONCLUSION: Head injury was associated with an increased risk of ALS across multiple analyses, including different injury severity levels and exposure definitions. However, the observational nature of available evidence and the possibility of reverse causation and residual confounding limit causal interpretation. Further prospective studies and mechanistic investigations are required to clarify the potential relationship between […]
