Comparison Between Comprehensive Nursing Care Ward and Private Care Ward on Functional Recovery in Stroke Patients.

The need for a comprehensive nursing care service ward (CNCW) is emerging, but few studies have investigated its medical validity. This study aimed to assess the effect of hospitalization on functional recovery and fall incidence in poststroke patients. This retrospective study enrolled 354 patients with subacute stroke between July 2017 and April 2020.

Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Syndrome Misdiagnosed as Recurrent Stroke: A Case Report.

While sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) typically presents with neurological symptoms such as cognitive impairment, ataxia, and myoclonus, its clinical manifestations can be diverse. We report about a 70-year-old woman with sCJD who was misdiagnosed with recurrent stroke. She initially showed hemiplegia and high-intensity signals on brain diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI), which corresponded to the symptoms of a stroke.

Features of Golf-Related Shoulder Pain in Korean Amateur Golfers.

Objective: To investigate the causes and characteristics of golf-related shoulder injuries in Korean amateur golfers.

Methods: Golf-related surveys were administered to, and ultrasonography were conducted on, 77 Korean amateur golfers with golf-related shoulder pain. The correlation between the golf-related surveys and ultrasonographic findings were investigated.

Clinical effectiveness of complex decongestive physiotherapy for malignant lymphedema: a pilot study.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDPT) on malignant lymphedema patients.

Methods: Patients (n=22) with malignant lymphedema of the upper or the lower limb were assigned to this study. CDPT without manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) was used five times per week for two weeks.

Causes of shoulder pain in women with breast cancer-related lymphedema: a pilot study.

Purpose: To inform on shoulder pathology and to identify the disabilities and level of quality of life (QOL) associated with shoulder pain in patients with breast cancer- related lymphedema (BCRL).

Materials And Methods: Using patient history, physical examination, and ultrasound (US), we classified patients with BCRL into the following three groups: no pain with normal ultrasound (US), pain with normal US, and pain with abnormal US. We evaluated shoulder pathology using US, pain intensity using a visual analogue scale (VAS), and functional disability using the Korean version of the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire.
