We report the case of a woman with relapsed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) who recently gave birth. She announced her pregnancy shortly after the sixth cycle of a dense regimen of temozolomide, prescribed for treating the first recurrence of glioblastoma. Three years ago, in April 2008, she had undergone gross total resection of a glioblastoma multiforme in the postcentral region of the right hemisphere and had subsequently received treatment according to the actual standard therapy consisting of radiotherapy up to 60 Gy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide. The complete amount of temozolomide given before this pregnancy was 20.9 mg/m2. Nevertheless, she delivered a 1890 g child by caesarean section in the 32/6 week of pregnancy. The child showed no anomalies and is developing normally under close surveillance by paediatricians.

Motor Outcomes

Background: In this study, a novel electromechanical robotic exoskeleton was developed for the rehabilitation of distal joints. The objective was to explore the functional MRI and the neurophysiological changes in cortical-excitability in response to exoskeleton training for a 9-year chronic stroke patient.Case-Report: The study involved a 52-year old female patient with a 9-year chronic stroke of the right hemisphere, who underwent 20 therapy sessions of 45 min each. Cortical-excitability and clinical-scales: Fugl-Mayer (FM), Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Brunnstrom-Stage (BS), Barthel-Index (BI), Range of Motion (ROM), were assessed pre-and post-therapy to quantitatively assess the motor recovery.Clinical Rehabilitation Impact: Increase in FM wrist/hand by 6, BI by 10, and decrease in MAS by 1 were reported. Ipsilesional Motor Evoked Potential (MEP) (obtained using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) was increased by 98 μV with a decrease in RMT by 6% and contralesional MEP was increased by 43 μV with a decrease in RMT by 4%. Laterality Index of Sensorimotor Cortex (SMC) reduced in precentral- gyrus (from 0.152 to −0.707) and in postcentral-gyrus (from 0.203 to −0.632).Conclusion: The novel exoskeleton-based training showed improved motor outcomes, cortical excitability, and neuronal activation. The research encourages the further investigation of the potential of exoskeleton training.

Processing Differences

Recent brain research has revealed a remarkable fact-man has two brains instead of one. The two hemispheres of a person's cerebral cortex are specialized for different modes of thought processing. Differences in the functioning of the two hemispheres has been known for many years. When a person sustained a head injury on the left side, he lost speech capability: when the injury was to the right side, speech was not affected. The nature of the capabi lity of the right hemisphere, however, was not understood.

Low-dose clozapine monotherapy for recurring episodes of depression, hypersomnia and behavioural disturbances: a case report.Case Report: We present a 27-year-old woman who manifested recurrent episodes of hypersomnia, compulsive hyperphagia, hypersexuality, impulsive behaviours, irritability and depressive mood since the age of 13 after a viral febrile infection. She had 3–4 episodes/year lasting from a few days to 2–3 weeks which were managed with various psychotropics. During her last episode, she was admitted because of persistent behavioural disturbances. Brain 99m-Tc-ethyl cysteinate dimer single-photon emission computed tomography scans showed bilateral mesiotemporal and thalamic hypoperfusion, more significant in the right hemisphere. While hospitalised, she developed neuroleptic malignant syndrome following haloperidol administration. She was discharged on clozapine 100 mg/day. Over the following 30 months, she remained symptom free on clozapine 50–100 mg/day.Discussion: Differential diagnosis included either an atypical recurrent mood disorder with hypersomnia and behavioural disturbances or Kleine–Levin syndrome.Conclusion: Low-dose clozapine monotherapy may worth being further investigated for the management of recurring episodes of depression, hypersomnia and behavioural disturbances.

Sturge-Weber syndrome sometimes referred to as encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis, is a rare congenital neurological and skin disorder. This is case report of 7 years old mentally disabled boy, with long-standing seizures, with a portwine nevi on the right side of the face along the distribution of trigeminal nerve. Interictal encephalogram showed bilateral slow activity, pronounced in the right hemisphere, with epileptogenic activity in the right fronto-parietal region. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed intracranial calcifications and atrophy of the right hemisphere of brain. Professional counseling and support in addition to drug treatment provide help to patients and their family to overcome their problems and improve the treatment outcome.Faridpur Med. Coll.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

The combined interactions of mode and tempo on emotional responses to music were investigated using both self-reports and electroencephalogram (EEG) activity. A musical excerpt was performed in three different modes and tempi. Participants rated the emotional content of the resulting nine stimuli and their EEG activity was recorded. Musical modes influence the valence of emotion with major mode being evaluated happier and more serene, than minor and locrian modes. In EEG frontal activity, major mode was associated with an increased alpha activation in the left hemisphere compared to minor and locrian modes, which, in turn, induced increased activation in the right hemisphere. The tempo modulates the arousal value of emotion with faster tempi associated with stronger feeling of happiness and anger and this effect is associated in EEG with an increase of frontal activation in the left hemisphere. By contrast, slow tempo induced decreased frontal activation in the left hemisphere. Some interactive effects were found between mode and tempo: An increase of tempo modulated the emotion differently depending on the mode of the piece.
