Modern medicine is increasingly confronted with diseases in the field of neuropsychology and often people suffer from impaired cognitive function. Therefore, the issue of rehabilitation in the field of cognitive neuropsychology has always remained relevant. Moreover, the rapid development of modern technology is also helping to improve the process of rehabilitation and recovery. The neuropsychological direction is the most important aspect of the neurorehabilitation of this category of patients. Methods of neuropsychological diagnostics have proven their validity in the clinic of strokes, traumatic brain injuries, neuroinfections, brain tumors, etc. In this regard, this article examines the role of cognitive neuropsychology in the system of modern neurorehabilitation.

Background: Neurodegenerative disorders belong to different classes of progressive/chronic conditions that affect the peripheral/central nervous system. It has been shown through studies that athletes who play sports involving repeated head trauma and sub-concussive impacts are more likely to experience neurological impairments and neurodegenerative disorders in the long run. Aims: The aim of the current narrative review article is to provide a summary of various nutraceuticals that offer promise in the prevention or management of sports-related injuries, especially concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries. Methods: This article reviews the various potential nutraceutical agents and their possible mechanisms in providing a beneficial effect in the injury recovery process. A thorough survey of the literature was carried out in the relevant databases to identify studies published in recent years. In the present article, we have also highlighted the major neurological disorders along with the associated nutraceutical(s) therapy in the management of disorders. Results: The exact pathological mechanism behind neurodegenerative conditions is complex as well as idiopathic. However, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress as well as intracellular calcium overload are some common reasons responsible for the progression of these neurodegenerative disorders. Owing to the multifaceted effects of nutraceuticals (complementary medicine), these supplements have gained importance as neuroprotective. These diet-based approaches inhibit different pathways in a physiological manner without eliciting adverse effects. Food habits and lifestyle of an individual also affect neurodegeneration. Conclusion: Studies have shown nutraceuticals (such as resveratrol, omega-3-fatty acids) to be efficacious in terms of their neuroprotection against several neurodegenerative disorders and to be used as supplements in the management of traumatic brain injuries. Protection prior to injuries is needed since concussions or sub-concussive impacts may trigger several pathophysiological responses or cascades that can lead to long-term complications associated with CNS. Thus, the use of nutraceuticals as prophylactic treatment for neurological interventions has been proposed.

Background: Decompressive craniectomy is a surgical technique proposed in the treatment of intracranial hypertension refractory to medical treatment and engaging the vital prognosis of patients. Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective study about 41 cases of decompressive flap in the neurosurgery department of CHU ibn Rochd of Casablanca between 2015 and 2018. Aim: This study aims to discuss the management of intractable ICH in adults, focusing on the role of DC in patients with traumatic brain and identify the different indications, contraindications and complications. Results: The results show a clear male predominance with an average age of 40 years. The initial GCS >7 was in 63%, and <7 in 36% of cases, anisocoria was present in 65%. The most frequent indication for craniectomy is a neurological worsening. The type of craniectomy performed in the majority of cases is a hemi craniectomy in 92% of cases. Concerning the prognosis, we observed 32% of deaths and 68% of survivors of which 39% of patients without sequelae GOS 5 and 32% with a moderate disability GOS 4. The moderate disability GOS 3 was found in 21% and one case in vegetative state GOS 2. Regarding immediate complications after craniectomy: 33% of patients presented convulsions, 12% a new homolateral hematoma, 49% a nosocomial pneumopathy and 10% a postoperative meningitis. Conclusion: Decisions to recommend DC must always be made not only in the context of its clinical indications but also after consideration of an individual patient's preferences and quality of life expectations.

In the modern era, the use of technology is growing rapidly to obtain information and various other electronic services, many people who already use technology, especially the internet to facilitate their work. Seeing the rapid development of the internet has given rise to various innovations, especially financial technology to meet the various needs of the community including access to financial services and transaction processing. Fintech (Financial Technology) is an innovation in the financial sector that refers to modern technology used to transact, check deposit rates, transfer funds, and perform various other financial services. The creative industries are an industry that utilizes the creativity and skills of individuals use as goods of value. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of financial technology and its constraints in the creative industry in Indonesia. The existence of innovation and creativity that arises in the community, making the creative industry is an essential role in the development of a regional economy. The research method used in writing this article is descriptive qualitative. Thus, qualitative research only describes responses to situations or events so that it does not explain causality or do hypothesis testing.

Modern medicine has never before experienced such a rapid development of what is observed at the turn of the century. New opportunities bring new challenges that both - medical staff and patients - will have to face. The paper examines the role and safety issues new medical technologies in the light of respect for patients' rights and ethical dilemmas. For a better delineation of the phenomenon, presented the key moments of the origins and development of medical innovation. Based on observations and the current direction of the health sector were presented significant areas where abuse can occur at the level of ethical issues. Discussions have been subjected to actions considered modern medicine, in the light of security and respect for the patients' rights.

One of the primary goals of rehabilitation is to restore mobility through gait training. Recent advances in technology and a culmination of medical research have revealed the role of auditory stimulation as an internalized time keeper for rhythmic patterned movements. The aim of this review was to investigate research on rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) in specific conditions in health care. Numerous studies using RAS has been shown to improve gait patterns in hemiplegic gait, parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy and Huntington’s disease, but no changes in spinal cord injuries.
