Purpose: The objective of the study was to perform the translation and adaptation of the Spanish version of the Spinal Cord Injury-Falls Concern Scale (SCI-FCS), and evaluate the psychometric properties.
Materials And Methods: The original scale was translated from English to Spanish in accordance with international guidelines. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to examine factor structure, while internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha.
Objective: The characterization of a sample of patients hospitalized with complications of the COVID-19 infection regarding potential prognostic factors, clinical evolution, and impact of rehabilitation treatment on functional, motor, and respiratory outcomes.
Method: Descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal study of a cohort of patients under rehabilitation treatment admitted at Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital in Granada from March to June 2020, assessed upon admission, discharge and at 3 rd month using physical condition scales (IFIS) and functional assessment: general (Rankin, Barthel), respiratory (mMRC, BORG) and gait (FAC).
Results: 30 patients with a mean age of 62.
Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease results from the loss of dopaminergic neurons, leading to various symptoms, and there is currently no treatment to slow its progression.
- This study aimed to evaluate canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2) as a gene transfer tool in monkey brains and explore the possibility of creating a large nonhuman primate model for a common genetic mutation linked to Parkinson's.
- The findings show that CAV-2 vectors can effectively target neurons and may be optimized for modeling specific neurodegenerative processes associated with Parkinson's disease using LRRK2 expression in monkeys.
