Article Abstract
Background: Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) recipients could have an unfavorable prognosis if infected with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). We aimed to analyze the data daily transmitted by the Home Monitoring (HM) system (BIOTRONIK, Berlin, Germany) of CIEDs during the infection.
Methods: We identified CIED patients followed with the HM who experienced COVID-19 clinical manifestations. The daily trends of the following HM variables were analyzed: mean heart rate (HR), physical activity, thoracic impedance (TI), ventricular and atrial arrhythmic burden.
Results: The study cohort included 10 CIED patients (median age 90 [84-92] years, male 90%) with acute respiratory syndrome. The HR showed an increase of a value ranging from 10 to 30 bpm well in advance of the severe clinical manifestations. The physical activity was generally low during the entire infection course. The TI decreased in patients presented with pulmonary edema, but increased significantly (8 to 25 Ω) in most COVID-19 patients (8 out of 10) suggesting an association with pulmonary fibrosis. Arrhythmic complications were also found in half of the patients.
Conclusion: The trends of HR and TI in CIEDs recipients infected by the COVID-19 often showed early recurrent patterns before adverse clinical manifestations.

The neurological manifestations of SHORT syndrome include intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, intellectual disability, hearing loss, and speech delay. SHORT syndrome is generally believed to be caused by PIK3R1 gene mutations and impaired PI3K-AKT activation. Recently, a clinical case report described a SHORT syndrome with a novel mutant in PRKCE gene encoding protein kinase Cε (PKCε).

NFT is a common condition resulting from dysfunction of neural networks without any structural damage identifiable by standard additional tests. It manifests itself through motor and sensory disorders and dissociative functional crises. Diagnosis is essentially clinical, based on positive signs.

Prototheca, a genus of opportunistic pathogenic microalgae, can cause protothecosis in humans and animals, manifesting as cutaneous lesions or disseminated/systemic infections. This report describes a rare case of Prototheca wickerhamii toe infection in a 78-year-old Chinese male, presenting initially as gouty arthritis. The patient, who worked in fish farming with frequent water exposure, had a history of herpes zoster and hypertension.

Introduction: The concept of body representation overlaps with others, such as body schema, body image, body semantics, structural description, body description or body map. A taxonomy is proposed that classifies body schema, body structural description and body semantics. The aim of this narrative review is to analyze the supply of instruments for neuropsychological assessment of body representation and to propose a classification of their paradigms.

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive ciliopathy characterized by genetic heterogeneity. Despite significant progress in understanding the BBSome-coding genes associated with ciliopathies, the pathogenesis linked to mutations in chaperonin-coding genes (BBS6, BBS10, and BBS12) remains poorly defined. This study aims to confirm the genetic diagnosis of BBS and elucidate the pathological mechanisms in causative genes of BBS10 and BBS12.
