The objective of the research is twofold (1) To understand the emotional process of coping with being at risk or being symptomatic of Huntington's disease (HD), and its effect on the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. (2) To explore the impact on grandparents of the risk or diagnosis of HD in their grandchildren. A qualitative case-study methodology was used. The interview was used as data collection instrument and the genogram as a graphic representation. The consent of the informants was requested, the permission of the Korean Huntington Association of Castilla y León is obtained and the favorable Report of the Bioethics Commission of the University of Burgos. Avoidance of open conversation about the presence of HD is observed. The impact of HD on the grandparent-grandchild subsystem in family dynamics is confirmed. Greater knowledge of HD-specific coping strategies is needed in this subsystem.
The aim of this work is to introduce a new condition within temporomandibular disorders, temporomandibular joint compromise (TMJC), a mandibular movement limiting disorder of extra-articular traumatic cause, and evaluate the response rate and safety of treatment. The limiting cause of mandibular movement is the lack of space between the mandibular ramus and maxilla. The main symptoms of TMJC include headache, dizziness, and tinnitus. In many cases, the headache is previously diagnosed as a migraine.

Data were collected from 54 patients aged between 6 and 59 years that had a confirmed diagnosis of migraine according to the 3rd Edition of the International Headache Classification of the International Headache Society of 2018, and were treated for TMJC in a dental clinic. They also presented with other otolaryngological symptoms. A retrospective quasi-experimental study without a control group was carried out due to ethical considerations related to the harmless nature of the treatment.

After treatment of TMJC, migraine symptoms disappeared in 52 patients (96.3%, P<.001), and persisted, although with clinical improvement, in 2 (3.7%). There was also an improvement in the other associated symptoms dizziness disappeared in 23 out of 27 affected patients (85.21%, P<.001), and tinnitus disappeared in the 31 affected patients (100%, P<.001).

This study shows the high rate of response and safety of the treatment of TMJC.

To compare electroencephalography (EEG) recordings with nasopharyngeal electrodes (NPEs) plus anterior temporal electrodes (ATEs) (NPE recordings) and those with only ATEs (non-NPE recordings) for the detection of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in patients with suspected temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).

We retrospectively analyzed the initial EEGs of 229 patients that were recorded simultaneously with ATEs and NPEs in addition to the electrodes of the 10-20 system of electrode placement. Two data sets of NPE and non-NPE recordings were reviewed independently by three interpreters with differing degrees of experience. Discordant findings in the interpretation among the three interpreters were resolved by a consensus to yield final results.

IEDs were detected in 76.4% of patients with NPE recordings compared to 55.5% with non-NPE recordings (p<0.01). Bilateral independent IEDs were found in 26.2% and 11.4% of EEGs with NPE and non-NPE recordings (p<0.01). The degree of agreement for the detection of IEDs among the three interpreters was higher with the NPE than with non-NPE recordings (κappa score, 0.70 vs. 0.54). The increased diagnostic yield of NPE recordings for the detection of IEDs was particularly prominent in patients with mesial and non-lesional TLEs.

EEG recordings using NPEs are useful to improve the sensitivity and level of agreement among interpreters for the detection of IEDs in patients with TLE.

NPE recordings may be recommended in routine EEGs for the evaluation of patients with suspected TLE.

Pancreaticoduodenal cancer (PDC) is a group of malignant tumors arising in the ampullary region, which lack approved targeted therapies for their treatment.

This retrospective, observational study is based on Secondary Data Use (SDU) previously collected during a multicenter collaboration, which were subsequently entered into a predefined database and analyzed. FoundationOne CDx or Liquid, a next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) service, was used to identify genomic alterations of patients who failed standard treatments. Detected alterations were described according to ESMO Scale of Clinical Actionability for molecular Targets (ESCAT).

NGS analysis was performed in 68 patients affected by PDC. At least one alteration ranking tier I, II, III, or IV according to ESCAT classification was detected in 8, 1, 9, and 12 patients respectively (44.1%). Ten of them (33.3%) received a matched therapy. Patients with ESCAT tier I to IV were generally younger than the overall population (median=54, range=26-71 years), ularly targeted therapeutic approaches.
Differentiating transient ischemic attack from stroke mimics may be difficult. Besides clinical evaluation and brain imaging, electroencephalography (EEG) may be a useful diagnostic tool.

We conducted spectral analysis on 67 EEG of patients who had presented a transient neurological deficit (TND) within the previous seven days. Expert clinicians provided the final diagnosis transient ischemic attack, migraine with aura, focal seizure or "other". We first calculated the relative power of the four EEG frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha and beta), in the whole hemisphere, then, according to the clinical symptoms, in the relevant electrodes of the symptomatic hemisphere. Finally, we calculated the relative power ratio between symptomatic and asymptomatic hemispheres.

Median age was 60.6 years (57% females). The etiological diagnosis was transient ischemic attack (27%), migraine with aura (11%), focal seizures (22%) and "other" (40%). We did not find significant differences in the theta and delta relative power analysis between groups.
