2 Current Landscape of Female Athletes The participation of female athletes has seen significant growth over the last few decades, shaped by changing societal attitudes, progressive policies, and increased opportunities in various sports. Today, women participate in an array of competitive sports, from traditional team games like soccer and basketball to individual sports such as…
2 Study Overview The study investigates the effects of psilocybin on chronic behavioral and neurobiological changes in a rat model simulating recurrent intimate partner violence (IPV)-induced brain injury. Researchers aimed to explore the potential therapeutic benefits of psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms. Given the increasing evidence surrounding the efficacy of…
1 Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury Severity Traumatic brain injury (TBI) manifests in varying degrees of severity, primarily classified into three categories: mild, moderate, and severe. These classifications are based on clinical evaluation, neuroimaging findings, and functional outcomes. Mild TBI, often referred to as a concussion, is marked by temporary alterations in mental status, with symptoms…
0 Genomic Architecture Insights The genomic architecture in individuals with C1-INH Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) showcases a complex interplay of genetic variations that can lead to unexpected phenotypes. In typical cases, HAE is associated with mutations in the SERPING1 gene, which encodes the C1 esterase inhibitor. However, this sporadic case presented atypical genomic structures that suggest…
0 Study Overview The investigation into the cognitive responses influenced by PM2.5 exposure acknowledges the intricate relationship between environmental factors and cognitive functions, particularly with regard to sex-specific differences. PM2.5, or particulate matter that is smaller than 2.5 micrometers, has been widely recognized for its potential health hazards, encompassing cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. More recent…
2 Longitudinal Gait Assessment In this study, gait patterns were assessed over a 12-month period to understand how functional neurological disorder (FND) impacts walking ability over time. Gait analysis involves systematic observation and measurement of walking, which can reveal underlying issues with movement control often seen in FND. The focus was on specific gait variables…
2 Case Presentation In this case, we examine a 10-year-old male child who was admitted to a medical facility with acute neurological symptoms. The onset of symptoms included fever, confusion, and seizures, which raised immediate concerns regarding potential infectious or neurological diseases. His medical history was largely unremarkable, with no previous neurological issues or significant…
1 Cognitive outcomes in stroke patients Cognitive performance is a critical aspect of recovery after a stroke, particularly in individuals who also experience additional complications, such as myocardial injury. After an ischemic stroke, patients may experience a range of cognitive impairments, including difficulties with memory, attention, executive function, and overall processing speed. These cognitive deficits…
0 Background and Rationale Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) represents a significant clinical challenge, characterized by neurological symptoms that are inconsistent with traditional neurological diseases. These symptoms can manifest as motor or sensory disturbances, seizures, or other neurological dysfunctions. The conventional treatment approaches, which often include psychotherapy and physiotherapy, can yield varying results, leading to a…
4 Understanding Functional Neurological Disorder Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) presents a complex challenge for both patients and clinicians. It involves a range of neurological symptoms—including motor disabilities, sensory alterations, and non-epileptic seizures—without a clear structural or biochemical cause in the brain. This means that while symptoms are real and can be debilitating, they do not…
