Article Synopsis
- People who have had a stroke are significantly more likely to experience another stroke compared to those who haven't, making it vital to address lifestyle factors like inactivity and poor diet to lower blood pressure and stroke risk.
- Survivors often face barriers to accessing risk reduction services, such as long wait times and limited transportation, highlighting the need for more accessible solutions, like an online health intervention platform.
- The i-REBOUND after stroke website was developed using a collaborative approach and design thinking framework, focusing on creating an easy-to-navigate resource tailored to stroke survivors, by adapting existing telehealth programs for better accessibility and support.
Few studies have examined diabetes impact on total joint arthroplasty (TJA) outcomes, with variable findings. We investigated the association between diabetes and post-TJA physical function and pain, examining whether diabetes impact differs by sex and BMI. Patient sample completed questionnaires within 3 months prior to hip or knee TJA for osteoarthritis (OA) and 1-year post-surgery.

Study Design: In vitro experimental study.
Methods: A commercial NPWT device (control) and three h-NPWT devices, with 0, 3, and 6 meters of additional tubing using the hospital-wall suction (groups 1, 2, and 3 respectively), were applied sequentially to a commercial NPWT dressing on a silicone skin substrate and set to run at a continuous pressure of -125 mmHg.
Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteoarthritis (OA) is a major health system cost. Education and exercise (Edu + Ex) programs may reduce the number of THAs needed, but supporting data are limited. This study aimed to estimate the treatment effect of THA versus Edu + Ex on pain, function, and quality of life outcomes 3 and 12 months after treatment initiation for hip OA.

Methods: Participants were 626 hip and 754 knee TJA patients. Pre-surgery data were collected on socio-demographics and health status.
