Cadmium is an important heavy metal in neurobiology, with potential neurotoxic effects, often in the form of polyneuropathy (PNP). Case repport. We present an exceptional case of PNP due to cadmium of toxic-occupational origin, specifically a 47-year-old man, aeronautical mechanic, with a 5-year clinical picture, consisting of a tingling sensation having a 'glove and stocking' distribution of symptoms and bimanual manipulative clumsiness. The neurological examination revealed bilateral achilles hyporeflexia and protopathic-thermal-algesic exteroceptive hypoesthesia in hands and feet. The following complementary rests were requested toxic-metabolic-infectious-vitamin profile, full craniospinal MRI, electroneurographic-electromyographic study (ENG-EMG) of the upper and lower limbs, PET-CT body and 24-hour video-electroencephalogram. The results were consistent with an axonal, distal, symmetric sensory-motor PNP, of moderate intensity, chronic evolution, with active denervation, of toxic-occupational origin duin, once ruled out other etiologies, in order to early interrupt occupational exposure, as it is a potentially reversible cause of peripheral neuropathy. Currently there is no specific pharmacological treatment against cadmium tested in humans. Randomized clinical trials carried out in these patients are warranted to develop an anti-cadmium drug in refractory cases despite the end of exposure.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a degeneration of the brain.

To assess the evidence of the physical activity (PA) to improve motor function, gait speed, and walking endurance in individuals with HD.

Two reviewers independently screened references and selected relevant studies to identify randomized controlled trials (RCT), from MEDLINE/PubMed, CENTRAL, PEDro, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science databases from inception to September 2021. Two reviewers evaluated risk of bias by the PEDro scale. The primary outcome was assessed motor function, gait speed and walking endurance as a secondary outcome was evaluated activities of daily living (ADL), lower limb functionality strenght, balance, mobility and cognition function in HD.

Eight RCT were finally included (231 individuals). Forest plots showed a positive effect for gait endurance, the mean difference (MD) was 17.40 (95% CI from 5.40 to 29.35; p = 0.004), the MD lower limb functionality strength was 1.76 (95% CI from 0.18 to 3.33; p = 0.03) favoring PA group and the MD cognition function was 1.83 (95% CI from 0.50 to 3.16; p = 0.007). No benefits were found for motor function, gait speed, ADL, balance and mobility.

Positive effects of programs PA were observed for walking endurance lower limb functionality strenght and cognition function in low and moderate stage of HD. However, no benefits were found for motor function, gait speed, ADL, balance and mobility. All authors included aerobic exercises in their programs but is unclear if vigorous and intensive PA is optimal for individuals with HD.

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most frequent parasitic disease in the central nervous system of humans.

to establish the correlation between clinical and tomographic variables in patients with neurocysticercosis in the neurology consultation of Hospital San Vicente de Paul and Hospital IESS Ibarra, during the year 2020.

descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional research.

93 patients. The information was collected in the neurology consultation. Clinical and imaging criteria were used for diagnosis. Odds Ratio (OR; 95% CI) was calculated. For multivariate analysis, binary logistic regression models were used. Statistical significance was considered when the value of p <0.05.

headache (77.4%), epilepsy (41.9%). Tomographic findings size < 1 cm (67.7%), single lesion (54.8%), supratentorial (93.5%). There were several clinical / tomographic correlations in the bivariate analysis, the presence of epilepsy was associated with lesions of size >1 cm (OR 9.65; 95% CI 3.48-26.7), the vesicular gnostic and evolutionary in subsequent research.

Motor Imagery techniques may be used as a complement to the recovery of motor sequelae after a stroke, as during the evocation of a movement the activation of neuronal circuits involved in the actual execution of the movement occurs.

A simple-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 38 patients were randomly assigned to a study group. Both groups performed, for four weeks, five weekly sessions of neurorehabilitation and three weekly sessions of experimental or control intervention, respectively.The experimental group training the recognition of laterality, while the control group the recognition of body parts. Participants were evaluated pre and post intervention with posturography parameters -Sway area (AREA), Sway path length (LONG), difference in weigthload between lower limbs (DIFLOAD)-, the Berg Balance scale (BBS), the Barthel Index (BI), the Time Up and Go Test (TUG), the Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC), and the quality-of-life scale for stroke (ECVI-38).

After performing the intragroup analysis, statistical significance was obtained for AREA (p < 0.001), LONG (p = 0.04), DIFLOAD (p = 0.02), BBS (p < 0.001), BI (p < 0.001), FAC (p < 0.001), and ECVI-38 (p < 0.001) in the experimental group; and for DIFLOAD (p = 0.01), BBS (p = 0.001), BI (p = 0.001), TUG (p = 0.04), FAC (p = 0.03), and ECVI-38 (p = 0.003) in the control group. In the intergroup analysis, statistical significance was obtained for AREA (p = 0.03), BBS (p = 0.03), FAC (p = 0.02) and ECVI-38 (p = 0.002) at postintervention time.

Combined use of physical rehabilitation and recognition of laterality through implicit motor imagery tasks, improves balance and functions related to postural control in subacute stroke patients.

Combined use of physical rehabilitation and recognition of laterality through implicit motor imagery tasks, improves balance and functions related to postural control in subacute stroke patients.Spinal giant cell tumor (GCT) combined with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a locally aggressive primary bone tumor. Total en bloc spondylectomy has never been reported to treat thoracic GCT combined with secondary ABC. We retrospectively reviewed two cases of spinal GCT combined with secondary ABC. A 41-year-old male patient was presented with back pain due to irregular expansive bone destruction involving the T6 vertebral body and intraspinal space-occupying lesion. Total en bloc spondylectomy of T6 vertebra was performed with good neurological status after the surgery. A 29-year-old female patient was presented with right scapular region pain due to irregular expansive bone destruction involving the T5 vertebral body and intraspinal space-occupying lesion. Total en bloc spondylectomy of T5 vertebra was performed with good neurological status after the surgery. Adjuvant radiation therapy was applied after the surgery without local recurrence at the 12-month or 24-month follow-up. Spinal GCT combined with secondary ABC appears to have a high local recurrence rate. Therefore, total en bloc spondylectomy should be applied to treat thoracic GCT combined with secondary ABC.

Primary gastric T-cell lymphoma (PG-TCL) is a rare hematological malignancy with few data reported. The objective of this study is to investigate the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and survivals of PG-TCL.

Totally, 164 patients with PG-TCL from 1975 to 2016 extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) database were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was applied to plot overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). The prognostic factors of OS and CSS were explored by Cox proportional hazard regression. Nomograms were constructed to predict survival possibilities.

The age-adjusted incidence rate of PG-TCL was 0.0091 per 100,000 person-years and increased with age. The median age at onset was 65 years old with male predominance. The major histological type was peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS (63.4%). The 1-, 2-, and 5-year OS were 45.5%, 34.7%, and 23.5%, respectively while the 1-, 2-, and 5-year CSS were 47.4%, 37.3%, and 29.6%, respectively. Multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated that age at diagnosis, use of chemotherapy, and radiotherapy were the independent prognostic factors for OS. Chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy could significantly improve patients' OS compared with chemotherapy alone. Moreover, age at diagnosis and use of chemotherapy were also the independent prognostic factors for CSS. Nomograms for PG-TCL were developed to predict 1-, 2-, and 5-year OS possibilities. The predictability of nomograms was verified by high concordance index and good agreement with the predicted value in calibration plots.

PG-TCL is a rare neoplasm with low incidence. Patients with PG-TCL generally exhibited poor prognosis. Use of chemotherapy plus radiotherapy was associated with favorable OS.

Spatial ability (SA) was shown to be important for success in different fields, including STEM. Recent research suggested that SA is a unitary construct, rather than a set of related skills. However, it is not clear how individual differences in different facets of SA emerge, and how they relate to variance in general cognitive ability.

The aim of the present study was threefold 1) to examine the structure of SA testing nine theoretical models; 2) to explore the relation between 16 different facets of SA with general cognitive ability; and 3) to identify central facet(s) within the network of SA - with most links and/or strongest links to other facets.

The study participants were 958 university students from Russia.

The study used a comprehensive battery of 16 SA tests and a verbal ability measure.

Results supported previous research, suggesting moderate overlap between all SA facets. mTOR inhibitor Factor analysis suggested several potential structures, with similar fit indices for five different theoretically driven models, including split into small- and large scale; partially independent manipulation, visualization and navigation facets. Confirmatory factor analysis, mediation and network analyses showed spatial ability being largely independent from verbal ability. Inaddition, network analysis showed that navigation according to directions is in the centre of the network, potentially linking all SA facets.

The results have potential implications for identifying the best targets for SA interventions. The next step in research is conducting experimental studies to evaluate effectiveness of interventions targeting navigation in comparison with other facets of SA.
