Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how physiotherapy affects fear of falling (FOF) in patients aged 65 and older who visited the emergency department after a fall.
- Despite assigning patients to an intervention group with physiotherapy support and a control group, no significant difference in FOF was found between the two groups one week post-intervention.
- Challenges included low participant recruitment and a high dropout rate, leading the researchers to conclude that the physiotherapy intervention did not improve FOF compared to the control group.
Article Synopsis
- GSDIa leads to metabolic changes in kidney cells, resembling Warburg-like metabolism, which promotes cell growth and the development of kidney cysts.
- The loss of glucose-6 phosphatase (G6PC1) causes harmful accumulation of glycogen and lipids, leading to kidney inflammation, fibrosis, and dysfunction.
- Treatment with rapamycin showed potential in reducing kidney damage, and lipocalin 2 was identified as an important factor in kidney inflammation and early CKD progression.
There is a high incidence of nonspecific Low Back Pain (LBP) in patients visiting Emergency Departments (EDs), but there is a lack of knowledge regarding emergency physiotherapy for LBP. The effect of on-site physiotherapy in these patients was therefore never demonstrated. We assessed short-term outcomes, feasibility and patient satisfaction with physiotherapy in ED patients presenting with nonspecific LBP.

Design: Single-centre prospective, experimental, multimodal (clinical, biomechanical, radiological) study with three instances of data collection: baseline (study visit 1), 6-month follow-up (remote) and 1-year follow-up (study visit 2). Both study visits include an in vivo experiment aiming to elicit paraspinal muscle fatigue for postural assessment in a non-fatigued and fatigued state.
Delayed Enhancement cardiac MRI (DE-MRI) has become indispensable for the diagnosis of myocardial diseases. However, to quantify the disease severity, doctors need time to manually annotate the scar and myocardium. To address this issue, in this paper we propose an automatic myocardial infarction segmentation approach on the left ventricle from short-axis DE-MRI based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN).
