Immersive virtual reality (VR) is recently being explored as a therapeutic alternative for the treatment of amblyopia. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, usability and satisfaction obtained with the use of a novel VR system (NEIVATECH) to provide binocular vision training in previously treated older amblyopic children with non-compliance or non-response to patching. A prospective, multicentre, open-label, single-arm, pilot study was conducted in which the intervention under study was 9 h of therapy with the NEIVATECH system, distributed in 18 half-hour sessions spread over 1 month.

: Early identification of complications in chronic and infectious diseases can reduce clinical deterioration, lead to early therapeutic interventions and lower morbidity and mortality rates. Here, we aimed to assess the feasibility of a novel clinical decision support system (CDSS) based on the automatic generation of alerts through remote patient monitoring and to identify the patient profile associated with the likelihood of severe medical alerts. : A prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial was conducted.

Background: Mechanical Thrombectomy (MT) is an efficacious treatment for severe acute ischemic stroke patients. However, access to MT is limited in many parts of the world, partly due to economic barriers. The purpose of this systematic review is to provide an updated frame about the socioeconomic impact of MT.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the effects of a diabetes-specific enteral nutrition formula on glycemia, comorbidities, and mortality in non-diabetic acute stroke patients requiring feeding via a nasogastric tube.
  • The randomized trial included 52 patients (average age 77), comparing an isocaloric isoprotein formula (control group) against a diabetes-specific formula (experimental group).
  • Results showed that the experimental group had significantly fewer cases of hyperglycemia and a better rate of recovery via the oral route, but no differences in length of stay or mortality rates were observed.

Purpose: To assess the feasibility of the clinical use of a novel Virtual Reality (VR) training software designed to be used for active vision therapy in amblyopic patients by determining its preliminary safety and acceptance on the visual function of healthy adults.

Methods: Pilot study enrolling 10 individuals (3 men, 7 women, mean age: 31.8 ± 6.
