Objective: To perform a systematic review of the utility of exoskeleton robotic therapy on lower extremity recovery in Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) patients.
Methods: We used the Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed databases and searched from to December 2023 for studies on exoskeleton robotic assist devices used in working with SCI patients. Only articles published in English were evaluated, and the retrieved articles were screened via our inclusion/exclusion criteria.
With an estimated prevalence of 68% among healthy adults without a previous diagnosis of scoliosis, adult spinal deformities are a growing concern as the population ages. Our understanding of this growing concern has been historically guided by previous studies performed on the pediatric population. Over time, different classifications have been developed with their own respective limitations.

Background: The anatomic substrate of bicuspid valves may lead to suboptimal TAVR stent expansion and geometry.
Aim: We evaluated determinants of stent geometry in bicuspid valves treated with Sapien transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) valves.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective registry of patients (February 2019 to August 2022) who underwent post-TAVR computed tomography to determine stent area (vs.
Background: Little is known about the occurrence of subclinical new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Aims: We aimed to evaluate the incidence, predictors, and clinical impact of subclinical NOAF after TAVI.
Methods: This was a multicentre study, including patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and no previous atrial fibrillation undergoing TAVI, with continuous ambulatory electrocardiogram (AECG) monitoring after TAVI.
