Optimized trans-cranial direct current stimulation for prolonged consciousness disorder in a patient with titanium mesh cranioplasty
We present a case with prolonged MCS over 1 year, who had severe brain damage, ventriculoperitoneal shunt, and cranioplasty with a titanium mesh, which was treated with tDCS which optimized with the simulation of the electric field based on the patient’s brain MRI. The patient was resulting in emergence from MCS. Six months later, she ate meals orally and started walking with assistance.Discussion and perspectiveThis personalized simulation based on MRI would make the treatment available even to patients with severe brain structural changes and metallic instrumentation.

Nusinersen in adults with type 3 spinal muscular atrophy: long-term outcomes on motor and respiratory function
We reported on motor scores and spirometry parameters.ResultsTen patients were included, with a median follow-up of 34 months (range = 22–46). Four patients (40%) were walkers. None used non-invasive ventilation. In Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM) and Expanded Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale (HFMSE), difference of medians increased at 6, 22 and 46 months comparing to baseline (−0.5vs. + 1.5vs. + 2.5 in RULM; + 4.0vs. + 7.5vs. + 6.0 in HFMSE). Two (50%) walkers presented a clinically meaningful improvement in 6-min walk distance. We did not report any clinically meaningful decrement in mot...

Exploring variability in cognitive functioning in patients with spinal muscular atrophy: a scoping review
This study aims to explore recent findings regarding cognitive outcomes in SMA patients, including correlations between clinical features and cognitive abilities. The investigation seeks to identify commonly used measures for assessing cognitive function in this patient population. A scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology examined literature until December 2023. Two databases were searched along with relevant article references using specific terms such as “spinal muscular atrophy,” “SMA,” “cognitive,” “abilities,” “functions,” “intellective,” or “intellectual.” Screeni...

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in a man surviving COVID-19: disentangling a casual or causal association by neuropathology
DiscussionTo disentangle the link between COVID-19 infection and CJD, neuropathology is essential determining the extent of changes related to both conditions. In our patient, we did not find any specific abnormality related to COVID-19. Our conclusion is in line with the current worldwide epidemiological data that do not show an increase in CJD cases since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. (Source: Neurological Sciences)
