Background: Although the long-term survival and related predictors have been identified in stroke patients, there is little evidence about the mortality rates and its associated factors in stroke patients treated in rehabilitation units.
Objective: To evaluate 5-year mortality rates of patients with stroke and its relationship with the clinical characteristics after inpatient subacute-chronic rehabilitation.
Methods: The files of 1016 stroke patients (482 male, 534 female) who received inpatient rehabilitation program were examined retrospectively.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy of two different dry needling (DN) techniques (deep dry needling & peppering) in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).
Methods: Seventy-two patients, who were diagnosed as MPS at our outpatient clinic were randomly assigned into two groups as deep dry needling (DDN) and peppering. All patients were evaluated four times as: before the treatment and 1-5-12 weeks after the completion of treatment protocol.
Article Synopsis
- Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disease increasingly affecting people, with inflammation being a key factor in its development.
- The study compared blood neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) levels between patients with severe (KL grade 4) and mild to moderate (KL grades 1-3) knee OA, involving 176 patients.
- Results showed that higher NLR levels (≥2.1) were associated with severe knee OA, suggesting that blood NLR may serve as a useful marker for assessing the severity of this condition.
