Vaccination Causing Demyelination: It’s a Fact or Myth! A Short Review |
Author : Shubhankar Mishra |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The vaccines are the biggest blessings for everyone. From child-
hood to adulthood, vaccination can protect every age group from
disastrous infections. The epidemics of the nineties have been
eradicated. Many disastrous infections are now prevented. There
is a bigger shift in epidemiology. Vaccine-preventable diseases
have become very few. But the vaccines work by modulating the
immune systems of our body. In order for vaccinations to ‘work’,
the immune system must be stimulated. |

Tics, OCD and Epilepsy: To Lump or Split? |
Author : Aparna EG, Biji Bahuleyan, Sanu J Vincent and Ashalatha Radhakrishnan |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In this report, we describe the case of a 21-year-old man with epilepsy, presenting with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and
tics while on levetiracetam monotherapy. Diagnosis of tics in a person with epilepsy (PWE) is challenging and after a detailed evaluation, possibility of drug induced tics was considered. Both symptoms abated on stopping Levetiracetam therapy. Levetiracetam induced various behavioral side effects have been reported in both adult and pediatric patients, but OCD and tics are extremely rare and not known to many. |

Visuo-Spatial Impairment in Patients Who Recovered from Lassa Fever Infection: A 30 Day Follow Up Observatory Study |
Author : Sunmonu Taofiki Ajao, Owhin Sampson Omagbemi, Abejegah Chukwuyem, Kareem Adesola Olawumi, Etafo Ijeoma and Ogunmodede Adebimpe Funmilola |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Lassa Fever infection is one of the viral haemorrhagic fevers that occur in epidemics in west African countries. It
could affect the central nervous system and present with cognitive function impairment.
Aims and Objective: This study aimed to examine the visuo-spatial function in patients who recovered from Lassa fever infection
especially within the 30 day follow up period |

The Impact of Neuromuscular Diseases on Patients’ Quality of Life: A Call for Action |
Author : Ivan Barbov and Goce Kalcev |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) are a broad category of ill-
nesses that affect muscle function either directly through pathologies of the muscles or indirectly through pathologies of the nerves or neuromuscular junctions [1]. As a result of the progressive nature of NMDs, which can result in muscle spasticity or weakness,there is an increasing urgency for supportive devices as well as both medical and non-medical support [1]. These illnesses vary in terms of their features, including inheritance patterns, the nature of genetic mutations, incidence, symptoms, age at onset, rate of
progression, and prognosis. Today, neurology, rehabilitation,rheumatology, immunology, cardiology, pulmonology, and gastroenterology are just a few of the medical specialties where neuromuscular diseases manifest |

Bone Health in Patients with Pituitary and Hypothalamic Tumors, Importance of Prevention of Bone Fracture |
Author : Ichiro Nakazato, Akira Matsuno, Keisuke Onoda, Takayuki Shiomi and Kenichi Oyama |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Pituitary or hypothalamic disorders including hypopituitarism, Cushing disease, and hyperprolactinemia are major causes of osteoporosis. Patients with pituitary or hypothalamic lesions have tendency of association of hypopituitarism in both preoperative and
postoperative endocrinological assessment. Growth hormone deficiency is also one of the considerable risks of osteopenia. Thus, in surgery for pituitary or hypothalamic lesions, preservation of pituitary function and postoperative appropriate hormone replacement therapy are required. |

Steroids for Optic Neuritis. Comparison between IV Steroids and Oral Steroids: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysi |
Author : Ahmad Sawalha and Huda Alkilani |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Optic neuritis is defined as an inflammation of the optic nerve. It usually manifests with abrupt painful loss of vision.
The recovery of the vision loss is almost never complete. Women are usually more commonly affected than men. Optic neuritis is
most commonly due to autoimmune etiology and is closely linked to multiple sclerosis however, other etiologies including infectious
do exist. Few trials evaluated the effectiveness of corticosteroids for the treatment of optic neuritis and rarely those trials compared
between oral and intravenous corticosteroids use. |

Complexities in Decisional Disordered Embroidery |
Author : J Satpathy, PS Aithal, Washington Okeyo, Lipsa Misra, Adyasha Das, Alfredo Steve Sherrington Rodriguez, Ana Moreira, Arlen LopezArce, Banitamani Mallik and Sebastian Laza |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Paper presents an inter – disciplinary approach towards human decision-making mosaic via optometric injections. Study incor-
porates entrepreneurial brain practices as wedded to neurosciences. If disordered embroidery VUCA (Vulnerability, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) has given foundation to disordered embroidery BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, and Incomprehensible), disordered embroidery RUPT (Rapid, Unpredictable, Paradoxical, and Tangled) and disordered embroidery TUNA (Turbulent, Uncertain, Novel and Ambiguous), it is tractable that time is fitting for anatomical ‘steal a look’ into entrepreneurial choice behaviour. Study opines that inter-sections between Biology and Management are far-reaching and hold immense potential for advancing managerial practices. |
