Article Synopsis
- People with traumatic brain injury (TBI) commonly struggle with mobility and cognitive impairments, which are often treated separately in rehab, despite evidence connecting the two.
- This study aimed to explore the relationship between cognitive recovery and gait recovery in TBI patients, analyzing data from 93 participants over a 12-month period.
- Results indicated that cognitive tests at 2 months post-injury, particularly TMT-B and DS-F, were significantly linked to gait performance and could predict mobility outcomes at 12 months, suggesting the need for rehabilitation strategies that combine cognitive and physical recovery efforts.
Background: Acute pharyngitis is common in the ambulatory setting. The Modified Centor score uses five criteria to predict Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection and can be used to guide management.
Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the emergency department (ED) management (throat cultures, antibiotics and corticosteroids) of acute, uncomplicated pharyngitis by Centor score.
Background: Traumatic brain injury has multiple impacts on gait including decreased speed and increased gait variability. Rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) gait training uses the rhythm and timing structure of music to train and ultimately improve slow and variable walking patterns.
Objective: To describe the feasibility of RAS gait training in community-dwelling adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Patients presenting to the emergency department with a possible barbeque brush bristle ingestion pose many challenges. A detailed history and oral examination is needed and the typical first line investigation involves flexible laryngoscopy for direct visualization of the bristle. Given the high rate of false negatives with laryngoscopy, further imaging may be required in patients with a high suspicion of bristle ingestion Case Reports: We report on two cases presenting to the emergency department with pain following ingestion of grilled food.

- The intestinal barrier is like a shield in our gut that helps keep us healthy, but it can get damaged, leading to chronic inflammation.
- Scientists studied different groups of mice, including some with no germs, to see how gut bacteria affect this intestinal barrier over 21 days.
- They found that when mice were exposed to human gut germs, their gut barriers adapted, becoming stronger and better at preventing damage and reducing inflammation.
