Background: Presently, where inactivity is an overarching problem globally, participation in recreational sports activities has become an important outlet for promoting healthy lifestyles. However, there is a lack of instruments to evaluate the commitment of recreational and leisure sports users. This study aimed to adapt, develop and provide preliminary validation of the Recreational Sport Commitment Questionnaire (RESQ).

- This study evaluates the impact of sensor-based rehabilitation (SR) on chronic knee pain (CKP) by reviewing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies from various research databases.
- Out of 937 screened studies, 10 studies with 4,347 patients were included; results showed some improvements in patient scores, especially when using avatar-based biofeedback with sensors.
- However, overall evidence is insufficient to recommend routine use of SR for CKP, suggesting it might be more effective when combined with other treatment methods rather than just for tracking activity.
Background: Mixed evidence exists regarding stroke rates when comparing self-expanding valves (SEVs) to balloon-expandable valves (BEVs) in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This study investigates the debris captured by the SENTINEL cerebral protection system (CPS) during TAVR.
Methods: Seventy-five consecutive patients who underwent TAVR with CPS from March to December 2023 were recruited.
We present a unique case of primary intraosseous paraganglioma (PGL) originating from maxillary bone. PGL is a neurosecretory neoplasm that arises from cells believed to originate from the neural crest. A 30-year-old woman presented with right facial pain and swelling, along with palpitations.

Shoulder dysfunction is one of the most common complications seen in patients who have undergone neck dissection surgery. The prevalence of shoulder dysfunction increases depending on the type and extent of neck dissection surgery. We aim to study the relationship between changes in intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) threshold during SAN stimulation, ultrasonographic measurement of muscle size and shear wave elastography with shoulder dysfunction.
