The comparison of two corrective exercise approaches for hyperkyphosis and forward head posture: A quasi-experimental study.

Background: Hyperkyphosis (HKP) and forward head posture (FHP) occur due to prolonged poor postures and repetitive activities.

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the effects of the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and Sahrmann corrective exercises on HKP and FHP correction.

Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 30 subjects with HKP and FHP, who were randomly assigned to the NASM (n= 15) and Sahrmann groups (n= 15).

Rupture of an Occult Intracranial Mycotic Aneurysm after Intravenous Thrombolysis with Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Background: The treatment of acute ischemic stroke with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) has become the mainstay of treatment, but its use carries a risk of subsequent intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Guidelines have been developed to aid in the selection of the appropriate candidates to treat with rtPA to reduce this risk. We present a case of a stroke patient who was an appropriate candidate and was treated with rtPA who experienced a fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a ruptured mycotic aneurysm (MA).
