Vestibulodynia: Clinical characteristics, first-line treatments, and factors associated with escalation of treatment with EMG-guided injections of botulinum toxin in a retrospective french cohort study.

Background: Vestibulodynia is a highly prevalent chronic pain disorder affecting the vulva having a major impact on women's physical, psychological, and sexual well-being. It remains an underrecognized disease that responds insufficiently to therapies such as physiotherapy and medication.

Aim: To assess the global efficacy of first-line therapies and factors associated with treatment escalation in women with vestibulodynia.

Serious Game with Electromyography Feedback and Physical Therapy in Young Children with Unilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy and Equinus Gait: A Prospective Open-Label Study.

The clinical effects of a serious game with electromyography feedback (EMGs_SG) and physical therapy (PT) was investigated prospectively in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). An additional aim was to better understand the influence of muscle shortening on function. Thirty children with USCP (age 7.

Setting: International study.

A 6-Month Home-Based Functional Electrical Stimulation Program for Foot Drop in a Post-Stroke Patient: Considerations on a Time Course Analysis of Walking Performance.

Foot drop is a common disability in post-stroke patients and represents a challenge for the clinician. To date, ankle foot orthosis (AFO) combined with conventional rehabilitation is the gold standard of rehabilitation management. AFO has a palliative mechanical action without actively restoring the associated neural function.

Parafacial neurons in the human brainstem express specific markers for neurons of the retrotrapezoid nucleus.

The retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) is a hub for respiratory chemoregulation in the mammal brainstem that integrates chemosensory information from peripheral sites and central relays. Chemosensitive neurons of the RTN express specific genetic and molecular determinants, which have been used to identify RTN precise location within the brainstem of rodents and nonhuman primates. Based on a comparative approach, we hypothesized that among mammals, neurons exhibiting the same specific molecular and genetic signature would have the same function.
