Background: Video-feedback observational therapy (VOT) is an intensive rehabilitation technique based on movement repetition and visualization that has shown benefits for motor rehabilitation of the upper and lower limbs. Despite an increase in recent literature on the neurophysiological effects of VOT in the upper limb, there is little knowledge about the cortical effects of visual feedback therapies when applied to the lower limbs. The aim of our study was to better understand the neurophysiological effects of VOT.

The objective was to describe the characteristics of incident BC in a general population, with a focus on the initial management of high-risk non-muscle invasive BC (HR-NMIBC).
Materials: BC incident in 2011-2012 recorded in a population-based cancer registry were studied.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the adverse effects and immune response associated with IgG anti S1 SAEA-CoV-2 antibodies among healthcare workers at Señor del Milagro Hospital in Salta city, after receiving two doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out from March 2021 to April 2022. Demographic, clinical data, adverse events supposedly attributed to vaccination (AEFIs) were collected and two samples were taken to measure serum antibody levels.
Background: Mirror therapy (MT) has been shown to be effective for motor recovery of the upper limb after a stroke. The cerebral mechanisms of mirror therapy involve the precuneus, premotor cortex and primary motor cortex. Activation of the precuneus could be a marker of this effectiveness.

Among BCs, muscle-invasive BCs (MIBCs) are distinguished, as they require aggressive treatment due to their spreading potential and poor prognosis. Despite its clinical relevance, little information on MIBC in a general population setting is available.
