Effects of physiotherapy on degenerative cerebellar ataxia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Evidence of the effectiveness of physiotherapy, including muscle strength training, coordination training, aerobic exercise, cycling regimen, balance training, gait training, and activity of daily living training, in patients with degenerative cerebellar ataxia (DCA) was insufficient for clinical decision making. We aimed to explore clinical outcomes and examine the parameters associated with physical impairment and activity in people with DCA based on preregistration (PROSPERO: CRD42024493883).

Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane Library, CHINAL, and PEDro databases were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Epcoritamab-Induced fatal pleural effusion in diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma: a case report and literature review.

Epcoritamab, a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) antibody targeting CD3 and CD20, has shown significant efficacy in treating refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, its use can lead to severe side effects, such as tumor flare. Here, we report the case of an 84-year-old male with relapsed DLBCL who developed fatal unilateral pleural effusion following Epcoritamab treatment.

Microscopic water dispersion and hydrogen-bonding structures in margarine spreads with Raman hyperspectral imaging and machine learning.

Margarine, a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion, offers advantages such as lower costs in comparison to similar products, but large amounts of saturated fats pose health risks. Reduction of saturated fat content is difficult and often leads to "oil-off," i.e.

Differences in the Impact of Intensive Rehabilitation on Hereditary Ataxias and the Cerebellar Subtype of Multiple System Atrophy.

Multiple system atrophy-cerebellar type (MSA-C) exhibits faster disease progression than does hereditary spinocerebellar degeneration (hSCD). In this study, we aimed to investigate the differences in the treatment effects and sustainability of intensive rehabilitation between patients with hSCD and those with MSA-C. Forty-nine patients (hSCD = 30, MSA-C = 19) underwent a 2- or 4-week intensive rehabilitation program.
