Unilateral facial palsy, a common type of facial paralysis, profoundly impacts individuals' daily functionality and quality of life. The current clinical diagnosis of facial paralysis primarily relies on the subjective judgment of doctors, and the development of automated detection methods is challenged by the lack of publicly available facial paralysis datasets and the inability to analyze different facial nerve branches. To address these problems, we propose a new benchmark named UPFG-SG for Unilateral Peripheral Facial Paralysis Severity Grading.

The human auditory system must distinguish relevant sounds from noise. Severe hearing loss can be treated with cochlear implants (CIs), but how the brain adapts to electrical hearing remains unclear. This study examined adaptation to unilateral CI use in the first and seventh months after CI activation using speech comprehension measures and electroencephalography recordings, both during passive listening and an active spatial listening task.

Objective: Impaired ability to induce stepping after incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) can limit the efficacy of locomotor training, often leaving patients wheelchair-bound. The cuneiform nucleus (CNF), a key mesencephalic locomotor control center, modulates the activity of spinal locomotor centers via the reticulospinal tract. Even with severe corticospinal damage, the widely distributed reticulospinal fibers frequently cross the lesion, and lumbosacral spinal locomotor centers remain responsive.

Isolated ectopic secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is an exceedingly rare cause of Cushing's syndrome (CS), accounting for fewer than 1% of cases. Ectopic CS is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition that often necessitates urgent diagnostic evaluation and treatment. Hormonal testing may suggest a pituitary origin, complicating the diagnostic process.
