A Review of Current Perspectives on Motoric Insufficiency Rehabilitation following Pediatric Stroke.

Pediatric stroke (PS) is an injury caused by the occlusion or rupture of a blood vessel in the central nervous system (CNS) of children, before or after birth. Hemiparesis is the most common motoric deficit associated with PS in children. Therefore, it is important to emphasize that PS is a significant challenge for rehabilitation, especially since the consequences may also appear during the child's growth and development, reducing functional capacity.

The importance of assessing general motor activity in premature infants for predicting neurological outcomes.

Introduction: Conventional methods of neurological assessment of infants can detect nervous system damage, but also have a weakness, i.e., the inability to make predictions for neurological deficits.

Factors associated with poor self-reported function and quality of life in patients with end-stage knee or hip osteoarthritis immediately prior to total joint arthroplasty.

Introduction: The aim was to evaluate patients' perception of function and physical and mental dimensions of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with end-stage knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) immediately prior to surgery and to identify the factors associated with the outcomes.

Material And Methods: The study included 200 patients with end-stage OA (100 knee OA and 100 hip OA patients). Self-reported physical function was assessed using the Oxford Knee Score or Oxford Hip Score.

Endometrial immunocompetent cells in proliferative and secretory phase of normal menstrual cycle.

Background: Menstruation was presented as a result of inflammatory process. The total and relative numbers of the endometrial immunocompetitive cells vary during the different phases of the menstrual cycle. The aim of this morphological study is to make a contribution to understanding different distribution of leukocyte types during proliferative and secretory phase of normal menstrual cycle.
