Wheelchair to Walking: Quadruple Arthroplasty of Hip and Knee Joints in a Patient with Severe Ankylosing Spondylitis

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports
Introduction: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can lead to progressive joint ankylosis, most commonly affecting the spine and hips. Severe cases may result in functional autoarthrodesis of multiple lower extremity joints,

Neurovascular Contacts in the Pathophysiology of Neuralgic Amyotrophy: An Observational Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a prevalent, monophasic, multifocal immune‐mediated neuropathy. A distinctive characteristic of the disease is the occurrence of nerve or fascicle constrictions and torsions (NA‐associated focal nerve lesions, NAFL). The pathophysiology underlying this phenomenon remains to be fully elucidated.

Peripheral Neutrophil Activation and Extracellular Trap Formation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Markers of neutrophil activation are increased in plasma during ALS, and markers of NET formation associate with ALS survival. ABSTRACT Objectives Peripheral neutrophil levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) inversely correlate with survival, suggesting a role for neutrophils in disease progression.

White Matter Microstructural Abnormalities in Neonatal Onset Genetic Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Recent evidence indicates that epilepsy is associated with abnormal white matter. If seizures alter white matter, then the impact upon network function, epileptogenesis, and cognition could be pronounced in neonates undergoing rapid developmental myelination. Neonates with epilepsy due to nonstructural genetic causes provide a unique

Rare Case of Spontaneous Regression in Primary Gastric Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology
The spontaneous regression (SR) of primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PG-DLBCL) is extremely rare. Although the mechanism of SR is unclear, the host immune response, ischemia, or changes in the tumor microenvironment may play a role.

Electroencephalographic Normalization as a Biomarker of Clinical Recovery in Down Syndrome Regression Disorder

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Down syndrome regression disorder is a syndrome characterized by subacute loss of cognitive, behavioral, and functional abilities in individuals with Down syndrome. Electroencephalography abnormalities are frequently observed during evaluation, but it remains unclear whether these findings represent a dynamic marker of disease ...
