Effect of computerized cognitive rehabilitation in comparison between young and old age after traumatic brain injury.

Introduction: Cognitive dysfunction reduces patients' quality of life and social participation with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Computerized cognitive rehabilitation is increasingly being used for cognitive therapy in TBI patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of age on the effect of computerized cognitive rehabilitation in cognitive dysfunction after TBI.

Correlation Between Maximal Tongue Pressure and Swallowing Function in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy.

Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is an X-lined motor neuron disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness, bulbar palsy, and dysphagia. Dysphagia is associated with tongue weakness, which is a common manifestation of SBMA. This study aimed to investigate the correlations between tongue pressure and dysphagia in patients with SBMA.

Step-by-step inpatient rehabilitation for critical illness after coronavirus disease 2019: A CARE-compliant case report.

Introduction: Since the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, COVID-19 has become a worldwide pandemic. Muscle weakness and deconditioning caused by COVID-19-induced critical illness requires rehabilitation.

Patient Concerns: A 74-year-old male patient complained of general weakness after COVID-19, requiring ventilator treatment.

Does polydeoxyribonucleotide has an effect on patients with tendon or ligament pain?: A PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis.

Background: Pain in the tendons or ligaments is extremely common, accounting for 30% of the causes of visiting general practitioners. Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is emerging as a new treatment for musculoskeletal pain. However, the effects of PDRN in patients with tendon or ligament pain are unclear.

Effect of leuprorelin in bulbar function of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients: observational study for 1 year.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of androgen suppression therapy using leuprorelin focused on the bulbar function of patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA).

Methods: Genetically confirmed SBMA patients who consented to participate in this observational study were enrolled. Leuprorelin was subcutaneously injected every 12 weeks.

Alterations of functional connectivity in auditory and sensorimotor neural networks: A case report in a patient with cortical deafness after bilateral putaminal hemorrhagic stroke.

Rationale: Cortical deafness is a rare auditory dysfunction caused by damage to brain auditory networks. The aim was to report alterations of functional connectivity in intrinsic auditory, motor, and sensory networks in a cortical deafness patient.

Patient Concerns: A 41-year-old woman suffered a right putaminal hemorrhage.

Interhemispheric Functional Connectivity in the Primary Motor Cortex Assessed by Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Aids Long-Term Recovery Prediction among Subacute Stroke Patients with Severe Hand Weakness.

This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of interhemispheric functional connectivity (FC) as a predictor of motor recovery in severe hand impairment and to determine the cutoff FC level as a clinically useful parameter. Patients with stroke ( = 22; age, 59.9 ± 13.

Are safe guards at trampoline parks safe enough?: A case report on a complete spinal cord injury after diving into a trampoline park foam pit.

Rationale: Recently, commercial indoor trampoline parks have been opened around the globe, and both the number of venues and the park users are increasing. Academic literatures have largely focused on home trampoline related injuries, and less is known about the injuries associated with trampoline parks due to the limited number of studies or cases reported. In this report, we present a complete spinal cord injury sustained at a commercial indoor trampoline park.
