Article Synopsis
- Stroke rehabilitation is increasingly needed worldwide, but there's limited evidence comparing telerehabilitation to in-person care.
- A study found that patients with stroke who participated in telerehabilitation showed greater improvements in functional ambulation compared to those who received in-person rehabilitation.
- Despite similar ambulation efficiency between the groups, telerehabilitation emerged as a promising alternative for individuals with moderate stroke severity, especially for those living with a partner at home.
Background: While targeted therapies have transformed the treatment landscape of oncogene-addicted non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the influence of sex on treatment outcomes remains insufficiently understood.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to investigate the impact of sex on clinical outcomes in patients with NSCLC harboring driver fusions treated with targeted therapies enrolled in clinical trials.
Data Sources And Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and relevant conference abstracts to identify phase III randomized and early clinical trials that reported sex-specific data, including progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), overall response rate, and adverse events (AEs), in patients with fusion-positive NSCLC treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare characteristics and rehabilitation outcomes of post-acute stroke patients with and without urinary tract infections (UTIs) in a cohort of 1,683 inpatients admitted for rehabilitation from 2005 to 2023.
- It found that 11.6% of patients experienced UTIs, with most occurring within the first two weeks of admission, and notable associations with factors like older age and higher stroke severity among those who developed UTIs.
- Patients with UTIs showed significantly poorer rehabilitation outcomes, indicated by lower Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC) scores at discharge.
In Spain, lung cancer (LC) is the fourth most common cancer. Managing LC involves different professionals, and cooperative and coordinated work is crucial. Therefore, important decisions are better made by Multidisciplinary Thoracic Tumour Boards (MTTBs).

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), anti-PD-1 monotherapy or in combination with anti-CTLA-4, and more recently, anti-PD-1 plus anti-LAG-3 have changed the clinical evolution of this disease. However, a significant percentage of patients do not benefit from these therapies.
