This systematic review aimed to identify and validate instruments used in PFP rehabilitation, categorizing them according to the ICF framework.<h3>Methods</h3>A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Cinahl, Web of Science, and Scopus up to April 2024. Observational analytical studies and one non-randomized controlled trial that validated tools for assessing PFP were included.<h3>Results</h3>Thirty-three studies were included, covering twenty different tools. Seventeen tools were related to the \"Structure and Function\" domain, while three addressed \"Activity and Participation.\" The Sunnybrook and House-Brackmann scales were the most extensively studied. The Sunnybrook scale exhibited excellent intra- and inter-rater reproducibility and internal validity, making it suitable for clinical use. The House-Brackmann scale was user-friendly but had limitations in reproducibility and sensitivity to subtle differences, which newer versions like the FNGS 2.0 aimed to address. The FAME scale showed promise by reducing subjective scoring. Computerized tools, such as eFACE and A-FPG, and instruments for lip asymmetry and ocular involvement demonstrated potential but require further validation. The Facial Disability Index and the FaCE Scale were validated for assessing disability and participation restrictions.<h3>Conclusion</h3>This review identified several validated tools for PFP assessment, with the Sunnybrook and House-Brackmann scales being the most reliable. While emerging tools and computerized programs show promise, they need further validation for routine clinical use. Integrating validated tools into clinical practice is essential for comprehensive assessment and effective rehabilitation of PFP.</div>","PeriodicalId":7042,"journal":{"name":"Acta neurologica Belgica","volume":"124 6","pages":"1805 - 1822"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13760-024-02630-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142091406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focused on CNS complications during treatment in children with acute leukemia in a single pediatric institution.Methods: CNS complications were evaluated retrospectively in 115 patients with ALL and AML. Patients with CNS leukemia infiltration at the time of diagnosis or during a neurological event, late-onset encephalopathy, peripheral neuropathy, or a previous history of neurological abnormalities were excluded from the study.Results: A total of 115 children's clinical records with acute leukemia over a four-year period were reviewed. Acute CNS complications developed in 23.1% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and in 13.5% of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. CNS complications developed most frequently during the induction phase of the treatment (66.7%). Seizures were the most common symptom (9 patients, 50%), followed by hemiparesis (4 patients, 22.2%) and headache (4 patients, 22.2%). Six patients (33.3%) had chemotherapy-induced toxic leukoencephalopathy, two (11.1%) had Wernicke's encephalopathy, and one patient (5.6%) each had sinus vein thrombosis, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, and CNS infection. Sequelae occurred in three patients (16.7%), and only one patient (5.6%) died due to a CNS complication.Conclusion: A wide variety of symptoms can be observed in childhood leukemia, depending on the disease itself, the chemotherapeutic agents used and a lot of other conditions such as nutritional problems. Our research shows that several CNS complications might manifest with similar symptoms; differentiated diagnosis between the underlying etiological reasons can be made by neuroimaging.","PeriodicalId":7042,"journal":{"name":"Acta neurologica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142078739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and expiratory pressures (MEP) were measured. Respiratory functions were evaluated using spirometry, and predicted values were recorded for FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, and PEF. Fatigue levels were assessed using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (PedsQL-MFS).Results: The FEV1%pred (p = 0.022), PEF%pred (p = 0.003), MIP (p = 0.001), and MEP (p = 0.019), cognitive fatigue self-reported score of PedsQL-MFS (p = 0.037), sleep-rest fatigue (p = 0.034), cognitive fatigue (p = 0.010), and total score (p = 0.005) of PedsQL-MFS Proxy Report were significantly decreased in PwPOMS compared with their healthy peers. Regression analysis showed that the general fatigue of self-reported PedsQL-MFS was a determinator for FEV1%pred (β= -0.467) and PEF% (β= -0.553), and total score PedsQL-MFS was a determinator for FEV1/FVC %pred (β= -0.599).Conclusion: PwPOMS had decreased respiratory muscle strength, FEV1, and PEF, with preserved FEV1/FVC and higher fatigue levels than their healthy peers. In addition, self-reported fatigue had a determining role in respiratory functions but not respiratory muscle strength in PwPOMS.

This study aims to develop quantitative and non-invasive techniques to measure ICP in patients with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.Methods: MRI data obtained from 50 patients with IIH and 30 age- and sex- matched controls were analyzed and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), eyeball transverse diameter (ETD) and optic nerve diameter (OND) were measured. ONSD, ONSD/ETD and OND/ONSD indexes were calculated according to different ONSD measurement distances. Correlations of MRI findings with ICP were calculated. Sensitivity and specificity of all methods were analyzed.Results: ONSD and ONSD/ETD index at 3 mm and 10 mm behind the eyeball were significantly higher (p < 0.001) and OND/ONSD index at 3 mm behind the eyeball was significantly lower (p < 0.001) in the IIH group. The ONSD/ETD index at 3 mm had the highest area under the curve (AUC) value (0.898) with a cut-off of 0.27 mm (82% sensitivity and 91.67% specificity) for predicting high cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, followed by ONSD measurements at 3 mm (AUC = 0.886) with a cut-off of 6.17 mm (83% sensitivity and 86.67% specificity). The OND/ONSD index at 3 mm posterior to the eyeball decreased significantly as ICP increased, and the strength of the relationship was moderate (p < 0.001; r = -0.358).Conclusions: ONSD and ONSD/ETD index measured on MRI sequences are potentially useful in detecting elevated ICP. The OND/ONSD index correlates with CSF pressure and these techniques may be helpful in diagnosing IIH.","PeriodicalId":7042,"journal":{"name":"Acta neurologica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141987143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key symptoms include refractory seizures, often manifesting in neonates or infants, alongside global developmental delay, intellectual disability, progressive microcephaly, ataxia, spasticity, and speech difficulties. Dental anomalies related to amelogenesis imperfecta are common. Previous studies have typically reported normal or minimally altered early-life brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in DEE25. However, our investigation identified a homozygous splice donor variant (NM_177550.5: c.1437 + 1G >T) in SLC13A5 through whole-exome sequencing in two affected siblings (P1 and P2). They displayed developmental delay, cerebral hypotonia, speech delay, recurrent seizures, mild but constant microcephaly, and motor impairments. Significantly, P1 exhibited novel findings on brain magnetic resonance imaging at age 5, including previously unreported extensive persistent hypomyelination. Meanwhile, P2 showed substantial loss of cerebral white matter in the frontoparietal region and delayed myelination at 18 months old.
