Pulmonary Embolism during a Retrial of Low-dose Clozapine.

Pulmonary emboli (PE) are increasingly recognized as an adverse effect of clozapine. However, little is known about the characteristics or mechanisms of clozapine-associated PE. We present a case of a 34-year-old with treatment-refractory schizophrenia who developed rhabdomyolysis during his first clozapine trial.

Characterizing Strategic Contributions of Physical Therapy to Natural Standing Motion in the Muscle Synergy Space.

Understanding the contributions of therapist skill during intervention is essential for improving existing rehabilitation methodologies. This study aims to characterize therapist intervention on an important activity of daily living, the sit-to-stand motion. Using the concept of muscle synergy, we quantify and compare naturally-occurring standing strategies with those induced by a physical therapist.
