The state of employment in the United States among young adults with cerebral palsy.

Young adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP) have lower employment rates compared to young adults in general, as they may be confronted with physical, sensory, and cognitive impairments, coupled with personal and societal barriers as they mature. These challenges are clear, but the solutions are less so. Understanding the factors that impact employment is vital.

Greater lesion damage is bidirectionally related with accelerated brain aging after stroke.

Regional neuron loss following stroke can result in remote brain changes due to diaschisis and secondary brain atrophy. Whole brain changes post-stroke can be captured by the predicted brain age difference (brain-PAD), a neuroimaging-derived biomarker of global brain health previously associated with poorer chronic stroke outcomes. We hypothesized that greater lesion damage would be longitudinally associated with worsening brain-PAD during subacute stroke, and conversely, that poorer baseline brain-PAD would be associated with enlarged lesion damage.

Open laryngotracheal reconstruction for iatrogenic posterior glottic stenosis in adults: international multicenter experience.

Objective: Posterior glottic stenosis (PGS) has a significant impact on breathing and quality of life, and remains a challenging condition to manage. Literature does not provide a single optimal approach. In this study we aim to assess post-operative outcomes of adult patients with acquired PGS treated with open laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR) with autologous or cadaveric rib grafting.

Transcranial direct stimulation over left inferior frontal gyrus improves language production and comprehension in post-stroke aphasia: A double-blind randomized controlled study.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting Broca's area has shown promise for augmenting language production in post-stroke aphasia (PSA). However, previous research has been limited by small sample sizes and inconsistent outcomes. This study employed a double-blind, parallel, randomized, controlled design to evaluate the efficacy of anodal Broca's tDCS, paired with 20-minute speech and language therapy (SLT) focused primarily on expressive language, across 5 daily sessions in 45 chronic PSA patients.
