Purpose Of The Study: The primary objective was to establish the reference values for liquid gastric emptying and small bowel. The secondary objectives encompassed comparing the anterior view and geometric mean methods, assessing gender differences, and exploring potential correlations with age.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-five consecutive healthy participants (28 females and 7 males) with a mean age of 42 ± 11 years (median, 42; range, 23-65) underwent liquid gastric emptying scintigraphy at five intervals (0, 0.
Study Design: This study is a randomized, investigator-blinded, controlled trial with a non-inferiority design.
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of neuromodulation by transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the somatic afferent nerves of the foot in neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) and compare its effectiveness with oral oxybutynin.
Setting: The study was conducted in a rehabilitation in-patient ward of a tertiary care hospital.
Background: In people with lower limb amputation (LLA), the loss of limb structures and peripheral motor and sensory systems result in significant mobility challenges, including impaired postural stability.
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the dual-task interference (DTI) on postural control and dual-task interference on cognition during static and dynamic balance in people with LLA and compare the same with controls. The secondary objective of this study was to compare the DTI on postural control and DTI on cognition between LLA of different etiology.
Purpose Of The Study: The primary objective was to establish the reference values for small-bowel and colonic transit within the context of the routine standard solid meal gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES). The secondary objective was to compare the small-bowel and colonic transit between the anterior view and geometric mean methods.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-nine healthy controls underwent routine GES, with additional imaging at 24 h if feasible.
Study Design: Retrospective case series.
Objective: To report the clinical features and outcomes of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with COVID-19 and to see if they are any different from COVID-19 in the general population.
Setting: A tertiary care hospital in North-East India.
Background: The health-related problems of the tribal population depend on their ecology and culture. Often the tribal people do not utilize the medical and preventive health services available to them. Health problems in tribal groups need special attention because many tribal communities are backward.

This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracies of Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), Biothesiometry, Semmes Weinstein Monofilament (SWMF), Sural Radial Amplitude Ratio (SRAR) and minimal F wave latency as compared to conventional NCS and arrive at a simple diagnostic algorithm for early detection of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN).
Methods: In a cross-sectional observational study on 48 Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, MNSI, Biothesiometry, SWMF and NCS including F waves and SRAR were done and diagnostic accuracies (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values) calculated taking NCS as gold standard.
