Abstract
Background Exercise-induced compartment syndrome is a condition characterized by elevated pressure within a muscle compartment, resulting from repetitive loading or participation in sports activities. Primarily affecting the medial compartment of the foot, this rare condition manifests as sudden-onset pain in the medial aspect of the foot, without a discernible history of trauma, occurring during or after physical exertion. Diagnosis is primarily clinical in nature, as diagnostic imaging techniques provide limited utility. Conclusions Exercise-induced compartment syndrome is a rare syndrome with prolonged implications such as contractures, claw toes, muscle weakness, and sensory neuropathy. Hence, it is imperative for orthopedic surgeons to be familiar with this condition in order to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Paroxysmal movement disorders have traditionally been classified into paroxysmal dyskinesia (PxD), which consists in attacks of involuntary movements (mainly dystonia and/or chorea) without loss of consciousness, and episodic ataxia (EA), which features spells of cerebellar dysfunction with or without interictal neurological manifestations. In this chapter, PxD will be discussed first according to the trigger-based classification, thus reviewing clinical, genetic, and molecular features of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia, and paroxysmal exercise-induced dyskinesia. EA will be presented thereafter according to their designated gene or genetic locus. Clinicogenetic similarities among paroxysmal movement disorders have progressively emerged, which are herein highlighted along with growing evidence that their pathomechanisms overlap those of epilepsy and migraine. Advances in our comprehension of the biological pathways underlying paroxysmal movement disorders, which involve ion channels as well as proteins associated with the vesical synaptic cycle or implicated in neuronal energy metabolism, may represent the cornerstone for defining a shared pathophysiologic framework and developing target-specific therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise-induced breathing problems with similar clinical presentations can have different etiologies. This makes distinguishing common diagnoses such as asthma, extrathoracic and thoracic dysfunctional breathing (DB), insufficient fitness, and chronic cough difficult. OBJECTIVE We studied which parent-reported, exercise-induced symptoms can help distinguish diagnoses in children seen in respiratory outpatient clinics. METHODS This study was nested in the Swiss Paediatric Airway Cohort, an observational study of children aged 0 to 17 years referred to pediatric respiratory outpatient clinics in Switzerland. We studied children aged 6 to 17 years and compared information on exercise-induced symptoms from parent-completed questionnaires between children with different diagnoses. We used multinomial regression to analyze whether parent-reported symptoms differed between diagnoses (asthma as base). RESULTS Among 1109 children, exercise-induced symptoms were reported for 732 (66%) (mean age: 11 years, 318 of 732 [43%] female). Among the symptoms, dyspnea best distinguished thoracic DB (relative risk ratio [RRR]: 5.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.3-22) from asthma. Among exercise triggers, swimming best distinguished thoracic DB (RRR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.3-6.2) and asthma plus DB (RRR: 1.8, 95% CI: 0.9-3.4) from asthma only. Late onset of symptoms was less common for extrathoracic DB (RRR: 0.1, 95% CI: 0.03-0.5) and thoracic DB (RRR: 0.4, 95% CI: 0.1-1.2) compared with asthma. Localization of dyspnea (throat vs chest) differed between extrathoracic DB (RRR: 2.3, 95% CI: 0.9-5.8) and asthma. Reported respiration phase (inspiration or expiration) did not help distinguish diagnoses. CONCLUSION Parent-reported symptoms help distinguish different diagnoses in children with exercise-induced symptoms. This highlights the importance of physicians obtaining detailed patient histories.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ECHS1 encodes the mitochondrial short chain enoyl CoA hydratase 1 (SCEH). Biallelic ECHS1 variants have been associated with Leigh-like presentations and milder phenotypes with paroxysmal exercise-induced dystonia. PATIENTS/METHODS We used exome sequencing to investigate molecular bases of paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal dystonia in three patients and performed functional studies in fibroblasts. Disease presentation and response upon dietary interventions were documented. RESULTS We identified compound heterozygous ECHS1 missense variants in all individuals; all of them harbouring an c.518C > T (p.Ala173Val) variant. SCEH activity was impaired in patients' fibroblasts, respiratory chain-, and pyruvate-dehydrogenase-complex activities were normal in one individual. Patient 1 presented from the age of 2.5 years on with paroxysmal opisthotonic posturing. Patient 2 had a first metabolic crisis at the age 20 months developing recurrent exercise-induced dystonic episodes. Disease history of patient 3 was unremarkable for neurological findings until he first presented at the age of 20 years with persistent dystonia. Ketogenic diet had beneficial effects in patient 1. Neither ketogenic nor low protein diets led to milder symptoms in patient 2. Patient 3 benefits from low protein diet with improvement of his torticollis. CONCLUSIONS In line with literature, our findings corroborate that the pathogenic ECHS1 variant c.518C > T (p.Ala173Val) is associated with milder phenotypes characterized by paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal dystonia. Because of the potentially treatable defect, especially in milder affected patients, it is important to consider SCEH deficiency not only in patients with Leigh-like syndrome but also in patients with paroxysmal dystonia and normal neurological findings between episodes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the association between quality of life, asthma severity, sleep disorders and exercise capacity in children with asthma. METHODS We evaluated 45 children with asthma of both sexes aged between 7 and 12 years, diagnosed by a pediatrician/pulmonologist and classified according to the IV Brazilian Guidelines for Asthma Management: severity (intermittent/mild and moderate/severe) and control (controlled, partially controlled and uncontrolled). Quality of life (QoL), presence of sleep disorders and exercise capacity were respectively assessed using the following instruments: Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ); Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC); and six-minute step test (6MST). RESULTS Intermittent/mild and moderate/severe asthma were observed in 51.1% and 48.9% of the children evaluated, respectively. Only 8.89% of the sample had uncontrolled asthma. In the regression model, a better QoL was observed in children with lower asthma severity, lower SDSC total score and lower levels of dyspnea induced by the 6MST (β=-0.395, p=0.003; β=-0.338, p=0.011; β=-0.352, p=0.008; respectively). These factors explained 31% of the PAQLQ total score variation. Other variables (such as cardiorespiratory variables, spirometry, asthma control and number of steps in 6MST) did not predict quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Lower asthma severity (intermittent/mild), fewer symptoms of sleep disorder, and lower exercise-induced dyspnea predicts better quality of life in children with asthma.
