Unmasking The Mimic: Leprosy Neuropathy Misdiagnosed As Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy: A Case Report From Saudi Arabia, Muteb K. Alotaibi, Bashaier G. Alqahtani, Raniah M. Alqawahmed

Neurosciences

ABSTRACT Leprosy neuropathy can mimic chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), especially in non-endemic areas. We report a 72-year-old Saudi woman initially misdiagnosed with CIDP based on nerve conduction studies. The patient presented with widespread pruritus, erythematous cutaneous lesions, and progressive sensorimotor symptoms. Despite treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin, her condition worsened. Subsequent sural nerve and skin biopsies revealed acid-fast bacilli, confirming leprosy. This case highlights the importance of considering leprosy in the differential diagnosis of neuropathies, even in regions where it is rare. Nerve ultrasound, a valuable diagnostic tool in differentiating leprosy from CIDP, should be incorporated into the diagnostic workup …


A Narrative Review Of Clinical Practice Guidelines For The Application Of Physical Therapy And Rehabilitation Procedures In The Management Of Multiple Sclerosis, Abdullah I. Alhusayni Jan 2025

A Narrative Review Of Clinical Practice Guidelines For The Application Of Physical Therapy And Rehabilitation Procedures In The Management Of Multiple Sclerosis, Abdullah I. Alhusayni

Neurosciences

ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by neuroinflammation and progressive neurodegeneration, leading to significant physical and cognitive impairments. Rehabilitation, particularly physical therapy, has emerged as a crucial component in managing MS-related disability by improving mobility, reducing fatigue, and enhancing overall quality of life. This narrative review investigates current international guidelines on physical therapy and rehabilitation for MS. Literature search in databases (January 2010 until August 2025) resulted in three guidelines that met the inclusion criteria. Evidence suggests that structured aerobic and resistance training programmes, combined with balance and flexibility exercises, contribute significantly to maintaining functional independence. …

An Observational Study On The Clinical Profile, Management Approaches, And Outcomes Of Adult Patients Admitted To The Intensive Care Unit For Status Epilepticus, Hasan M. Al-Dorzi, Eman Balahmar, Razan A. Almulhem, Raghad A. Almutairi, Danah H. Aleesa, Dareen S. Ashgar, Nazish Masud

Neurosciences

ABSTRACT Objectives: Status epilepticus (SE) is a serious neurological condition with a high risk of complications and mortality. We described adult patients who required admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) for SE and assessed their prognosis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive adult ICU admissions for SE between 2016 and 2021. We performed multivariable logistic regression to determine the predictors of an unfavorable outcome (discharge Glasgow Coma Scale <14 or death). Results: We studied 115 patients (median age 38 years; males 62.6%; prior antiepileptic therapy 59.1%; median presenting Glasgow Coma Scale 7; median Status Epilepticus Severity Score 4). Brain computed tomography revealed acute/sub-acute stroke in 5.2% of cases, intracranial hemorrhage in 2.6%, and brain tumors in 5.2%. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis in 41 patients detected bacteria or herpes simplex virus in 4. Intravenous lorazepam was used to abort seizures in 80.0% of patients (median dose 3 mg). Mechanical ventilation was needed for 87 patients for a median of 4 days. Thirty-five patients (30.4%) experienced an unfavorable outcome, and hospital mortality was 5.2%. Infections present on admission were associated with an unfavorable outcome (odds ratio 3.61, 95% confidence interval 1.35-9.63). Conclusion: Most ICU admissions for SE involved young patients with few having abnormalities on brain imaging and cerebrospinal fluid and most needing intubation. Hospital mortality was 5.2% with the presence of an infection on admission linked to an unfavorable outcome.

Position Statement: The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) bases the following position stand on an analysis of the literature regarding the effects of β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate (HMB). The following 12 points have been approved by the Research Committee of the Society: 1. HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine that is naturally produced in both humans and other animals. Two forms of HMB have been studied: Calcium HMB (HMB-Ca) and a free acid form of HMB (HMB-FA). HMB-FA appears to lead to increased appearance of HMB in the bloodstream when compared to HMB-Ca, though recent results are mixed. 2. …

Subsurface Trespass In The Restatement (Fourth) Of Property: An Appraisal And Alternative Account, Joseph A. Schremmer

Faculty Articles

Building on the scholarly work of leading property theorists Henry Smith and Thomas Merrill, the recently approved Fourth Tentative Draft of the Restatement (Fourth) of Property prescribes treating all entries below ground as ordinary trespasses. That includes entries in the shallow subsurface by building foundations and utility lines, as well as invasions in the deep subsurface by mining shafts, oil and gas wells, and substances injected for disposal and storage. The Restatement comes at an important time in the development of subsurface trespass law, as developers, courts, and policymakers grapple with the growing use of subsurface technologies for horizontal drilling, …

Consumer Preferences And Willingness To Pay For Vertiport Design, Amenities, And Services, David C. Ison

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

The rise of urban air mobility (UAM) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft necessitates the development of well-designed vertiports that align with consumer expectations. This study examines consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for vertiport design, amenities, and services to inform infrastructure planning and investment strategies. Using a survey-based quantitative research design, data were collected from 500 participants to assess key factors influencing WTP, including convenience, security measures, service efficiency, and premium offerings. Findings indicate that location accessibility, affordability, and streamlined security procedures are primary determinants of vertiport adoption. While aesthetic and retail enhancements contribute to passenger …

Analyzing Teachers' Perceptions Of Mobile Learning In Senior Secondary Schools: A Frame Model Perspective In Sub-Saharan Africa, Dennis Kealeboga Mabalane Junior

Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)

The paper focuses on a systematic review of existing literature regarding the teachers’ perceptions toward mobile learning (mLearning) in public secondary schools across sub-Saharan Africa. It emphasizes that this research synthesizes previously published work rather than presenting original findings. The review identifies significant challenges and opportunities associated with mLearning implementation, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the adoption of mobile technologies in education. Despite the growing body of literature on mLearning trends in sub-Saharan Africa, there remains a notable lack of systematic reviews specifically addressing stakeholder perceptions. This study aims to fill that gap by …
