The Psychiatric implications of the Gut -Brain interactions |
Author : Hani Raoul Khouzam and Nestor Manzano MD |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The gut microbiota is currently being considered as a key regulator of the gut-brain axis. The interactions between the gut mi-
crobiota and the brain are being implicated as an important factor in the etiology and treatment of various psychiatric disorders.
This review summarizes the current knowledge about the role of the gut-brain axis in autism spectrum disorder, cognitive frailty
and Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating

Stroke in Women: Time to Acknowledge Sex Difference |
Author : Sohail Amir |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Stroke incidence, prevalence, and mortality have historically
been reported to be higher in males than in women. But over time,
this difference appears to be closing [1]. Recent evidence from
high-income nations suggests that the risk of stroke increases with
age and that elderly women over 75 may be more likely to experience a stroke than males. In various Southeast Asian nations, women under the age of 40 also experienced a rise in the incidence of ischemic stroke over time |

Author : Venkateshwarla Rama Raju |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In this study we have applied the real-time advanced multi-channel EMG (ARTEMG) for the clinico-statistical inferences through
multivariate analysis techniques. The study demonstrated paramount computable ‘EMG’ variations in the Writer`s cramp-signals (WCS) observed whilst writing through both right-hand(RH) and left-hand(LH) amongst those Writer’s cramp(WC) diseased subjects (patients) thru concordant mirror movements designated as “C-cohort” contrasted those with discordant mirror movements
designated as “D-cohort |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In this article, we will review how social settings influence our
behavior or attitudes in this competitive world. In brief, we are

society at different levels. Experts analyzed social phenomena at
different levels and from different perspective from concrete in-
terpretations to sweeping generalizations of society and social
behavior. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Introduction: Acquired reading and writing difficulties, characterized as acquired dyslexia (AD) and dysgraphia (ADg), are potentially unique patterns of communication disabilities observed after traumatic and non-traumatic brain disorders (T-nTBDs).
Objectives: In this study, we investigated whether a very early differential diagnosis between AD/ADg and Aphasia is attainable. We sought to form, analyze, and interpret well-defined AD/ADg, aphasia-differentiated, diagnostic profiles. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Intermediate nerve neuralgia (INN), a relatively rare disease, is caused by vascular compression of the intermediate nerve. The main symptoms include pain in the external auditory canal, which may be accompanied by lacrimation and taste disturbance. Recently, surgery has been performed using microvascular decompression. We report a case of a 30-year-old female patient who presented with paroxysmal electric shock pain in the external auditory canal lesion. |

Why Anti-Inflammatory Medications Are Not Recommended to Treat Headaches as a Manifestation of COVID-19? |
Author : Huang WL |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Introduction: There are articles in the literature saying that we can use anti-inflammatories and other highly concentrated medications to treat COVID-19-induced headaches.
The purpose of this study: demonstrate that patients that are having headaches during COVID-19 infection are only demonstrating the reactions of the body through this infection and patients that are presenting COVID-19, have energy deficiencies inside the five internal massive organs and headaches manifestations are only demonstrating that the internal five massive organs are compromised and also the hollow organs that they are coupled (depending on the region that headache is manifesting in the patient). For this reason, the use of anti-inflammatory medications will reduce even more these energy, that is already very low and can worsen
the energy situation and can increase complications. |

Author : Oluwamayowa O OPARA, Lasseini ALI, Nasiru J ISMAIL, Olugbenga O OGUNLEYE and Mahmud M RAJI |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Congenital hydrocephalus in identical twins is rare. Despite the fact that twinning and congenital hydrocephalus are common in
Nigeria, congenital hydrocephalus in identical twins is still very rare in Nigeria with only one case reported so far. This case report
highlights the second case from Nigeria, to add to the literature.
A set of male identical twins presented to us at 6 months of age with progressive head enlargement after birth. They had obvious
craniofacial disproportion, distended scalp veins, sun setting eyes, and brisk knee jerk reflexes bilaterally. There was no thumb ad-
duction. One had ventriculoperitoneal shunting and was discharged home. The other unfortunately, died from other causes |

Abstract :To estimate the prevalence of epilepsy in the rural community of the western province of Madagascar, a door-to-door survey of the
general population was carried out in the rural community of Ambolomoty in the Western province of Madagascar during September and October 2021. Cluster sampling was used with a cluster effect of 3, an expected prevalence of 5%, and a 95% confidence interval. Face-to-face interviews by trained investigator, were conducted using a structured questionnaire. Epilepsy was defined as the occurrence of at least two seizures. |

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. |
