Heterogeneous knowledge representation using a finite automaton and first order logic: a case study in electromyography [PDF]

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine 3, 2 (1991) 65-74, 2009
In a certain number of situations, human cognitive functioning is difficult to represent with classical artificial intelligence structures. Such a difficulty arises in the polyneuropathy diagnosis which is based on the spatial distribution, along the nerve fibres, of lesions, together with the synthesis of several partial diagnoses.

Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia in Alberta: Lessons from a Well‐Defined Cohort Including the Indigenous Population

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are rare disorders sharing common features of leg spasticity with gait impairment. Simple and complex forms are recognized; over 50% of cases remain unsolved genetically. Little is known about the genetics of HSP among Indigenous Peoples. Objectives To describe clinical, radiological, and genetic

Identification of GGC Repeat Expansions in ZFHX3 among Chilean Movement Disorder Patients

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hereditary ataxias are genetically diverse, yet up to 75% remain undiagnosed due to technological and financial barriers. The GGC repeat expansion in ZFHX3, responsible for spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 (SCA4), has only been described in individuals of Northern Europeandescent.

Clinical characteristics of anti‐neurofascin 155 antibody‐positive autoimmune nodopathy in children

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Pediatric anti‐neurofascin 155 antibody autoimmune nodopathy was uncommon, featuring distal limb weakness with sensory symptoms. Cerebrospinal fluid protein levels were elevated, and neuroimaging revealed nerve root thickening. As intravenous immunoglobulin was ineffective, early immunosuppressive therapy was recommended.
