CONCLUSION: In a pragmatic setting, use of ORE for gait training enabled patients with lower ambulatory capacity to walk longer distances during therapy sessions. Patients who required continuous assistance during ambulation (FAC 1) had significantly better gains in FIM-motor compared to conventional therapy, suggesting possible benefit of ORE for this group.
CONCLUSION: Although most of the parents and children accepted both appliances, cessation of the habit was higher in the control group than in the intervention group.
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of inflammation on SI joints-MRI is associated with higher disease activity in axSpA. Resolution of inflammation on MRI is associated with better clinical outcomes in the long-term follow-up. Thus, achieving complete resolution of inflammation is favourable for meeting the treatment goals in axSpA.
CONCLUSION: Lebrikizumab-treated patients with moderate-to-severe AD showed improved symptoms and QoL across EASI response categories at W16, with greater improvements observed in patients with higher EASI responses.
CONCLUSION: Monitoring with patch ECG was feasible in endurance athletes, but ECG recording quality varied between athletes and by type of exercise.
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is a clinical syndrome characterized by the loss of muscle mass and strength. Hormonal changes that occur early in women may influence protein synthesis and promote muscle atrophy, leading to probable sarcopenia, defined as a loss of muscle strength without an obvious decrease in muscle mass. Various types of exercise have already proven…
CONCLUSION: Exposure to hypoxia led to RVFWS impairment in more than one quarter of patients with COPD. Strain analysis is a promising, non-invasive method for evaluating RV dysfunction, even in subclinical cases and might be prognostically relevant in patients with lung diseases.
CONCLUSIONS: This 3-year updated analysis confirms the sustained efficacy of atezolizumab in combination of bevacizumab in patients with advanced mucosal melanoma. Inflammatory cell infiltration and angiogenic status were associated with therapeutic response. Furthermore, mucosal melanoma of upper site and NRAS mutation appear to be good predictors of response to immune checkpoint inhibitor and anti-angiogenic combination…
The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus worldwide necessitates that medical undergraduates acquire a deep understanding of the disease to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective management. Traditional teaching methods, while foundational, often lack the interactive elements that enhance student engagement and knowledge retention. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel educational board game,…
BACKGROUND: Brain metastases are a common complication in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lacking actionable driver mutations, with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of brain radiotherapy combined with camrelizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced NSCLC and brain metastases.
