Suspected Bulbar-Predominant Myasthenia Gravis Exacerbation in an Older Adult With Respiratory Deterioration and Silent Aspiration: A Case Report

PubMed - functional neurological disorder· Published 18 Oct 2026 Relevancy: 75%

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder of the neuromuscular junction characterized by fluctuating skeletal muscle weakness. Bulbar-predominant exacerbations may be difficult to recognize in older adults with multiple comorbidities, particularly when respiratory deterioration is initially attributed to cardiopulmonary disease. We report the case of an 83-year-old woman with generalized acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive MG, dementia with behavioral disturbance, moderate chronic...

Dialectical behaviour therapy in the treatment of borderline personality disorder: a commentary

PubMed - functional neurological disorder· Published 18 Oct 2026 Relevancy: 5%

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) was designed specifically to treat deliberate self-harm (with or without suicide intent) in women with borderline personality disorder (BPD). It has received the most research attention compared to other psychological approaches in this area. The aim of this commentary is to critically appraise the evidence provided by a systematic review on the effects of DBT on self-harm, suicidal ideation, anger, and depression in individuals with BPD. The methods used was...

Classroom-based observation and intervention of executive function for special education teachers working with preschoolers with Autism

PubMed - functional neurological disorder· Published 18 Oct 2026 Relevancy: 5%

CONCLUSIONS: The findings provide preliminary support for the teacher-administered MU.EF-102 of the classroom use and informed age- and communication-responsive, expert-informed classroom activity recommendations. The effectiveness of these recommendations requires evaluation in future intervention studies.

Biopsychosocial interplay of personal injury insurance, legal frameworks, and functional neurological disorder: an emerging perspective on recovery and disability determinants

PubMed - functional neurological disorder· Published 17 Oct 2026 Relevancy: 98%

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a disabling neuropsychiatric condition marked by motor/sensory symptoms not explained by neurological illness. Perceptions of medically unexplained disability, such as FND, are shaped by their social contexts. For example, the introduction of workmen's compensation legislation (late 19c) prompted labels such as 'compensation neurosis'. Since the mid 2000s, a biopsychosocial understanding of FND has developed, offering a more nuanced lens through which to...

"I swear it's not Tourette's!" - it is time to rethink coprolalia in Tourette syndrome

PubMed - functional neurological disorder· Published 17 Oct 2026 Relevancy: 63%

Coprolalia is a relatively rare type of complex vocal tic in people with Tourette syndrome (TS). In the general population, however, it is believed that coprolalia is the most typical and common symptom resulting in the stereotype of TS as the "swearing disease". Swearing, however, also occurs as a "normal" expression of negative emotions and thus occurs more often in people with impulse control problems. It is believed that there is a continuum reaching from voluntary to involuntary swearing....

A systematic review to characterize functional tic-like behaviors

PubMed - functional neurological disorder· Published 17 Oct 2026 Relevancy: 91%

CONCLUSIONS: While sharing some similarities, FTLBs have a distinct clinical presentation from TS. There is some evidence to inform treatment approaches, but findings are complicated by the retrospective nature of most extant reports. Future research is essential to characterize longitudinal trajectories, underlying mechanisms, and evaluation of targeted interventions in randomized clinical trials.

Abdominal Tics in Children and Adolescents: A Phenomenology-First Diagnostic Framework and Differential Diagnosis

PubMed - functional neurological disorder· Published 17 Oct 2026 Relevancy: 88%

CONCLUSIONS: A phenomenology-first, red-flag-guided approach can improve diagnostic clarity and help clinicians avoid both reflexive investigation and premature attribution of organic disease to tics. This review provides a practical clinical triage framework for determining when an abdominal movement behaves like a tic, when targeted neurological or gastrointestinal investigation is indicated and when management can follow established tic-disorder principles.

Habitual Diet, Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis, and alpha-Synucleinopathy Conversion in Isolated Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Behavior Disorder

PubMed - functional neurological disorder· Published 17 Oct 2026 Relevancy: 28%

CONCLUSIONS: Habitual diet in iRBD is associated with gut microbiome dysbiosis and predicts neurodegenerative progression. These findings highlight diet-microbiome interactions as modifiable targets for intervention in prodromal α-synucleinopathy. © 2026 The Author(s).

Gut Microbiome Disruption in Traumatic Brain Injury and Therapeutic Potential of Probiotics: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

PubMed - functional neurological disorder· Published 16 Oct 2026 Relevancy: 35%

CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this analysis suggest that TBI is associated with alterations in the gut microbiome and that microbiota-targeted therapies involving probiotics may improve inflammatory, gut-barrier, neurological, and functional outcomes. Although substantial heterogeneity was observed across several outcomes, particularly the GCS, the available evidence supports further investigation of microbiome-directed interventions as adjunctive strategies for TBI management.

Network Pharmacology-Guided Identification of Orientin from Passiflora incarnata Reveals Neuroprotective Effects Against Glutamate-Induced Excitotoxicity Through Regulation of Calcium Homeostasis

PubMed - functional neurological disorder· Published 16 Oct 2026 Relevancy: 20%

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder in which current antiseizure medications are limited by incomplete seizure control and variable therapeutic responses, highlighting the need to identify new bioactive candidates. Passiflora incarnata (P. incarnata) has demonstrated neuropharmacological and anticonvulsant properties. However, the individual phytochemicals and molecular mechanisms underlying these effects remain incompletely characterized. In this study, we integrated network...
