Background: Physiotherapeutic rehabilitation is essential to improve functional mobility, muscular strength, balance and quality of life of stroke patients, but conventional techniques using repeated physical activities can soon become monotonous. The use of virtual reality (VR) in rehabilitation offers a possible alternative to the traditional methods of promoting improvements in muscle strength and balance. However, there is not yet consensus about which instruments should be used to assess the effectiveness of VR in stroke rehabilitation.

Article Synopsis
- * The review analyzed patents for treatments of smoke inhalation, identifying 14 in Espacenet, 25 in WIPO, and none in USPTO, highlighting a gap in patent reviews for these treatments.
- * The expert opinion emphasizes the need for more comprehensive research and development of both natural and synthetic products for treating inhalation injuries, as prior reports lack a consolidated review of available patents.
Background: The inhalation injury is usually initiated by uninhibited absorption of smoke, favoring the release of cytokines and other lipid mediators from inflammatory cells in lung airways and parenchyma.
Objectives: To systematically review, examine, and synthesize the main inflammatory mediators analyzed in published studies in animals subjected to smoke inhalation, as well as oxidative stress.
Search Strategy: A comprehensive literature search was conducted through MEDLINE-PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus.
