COVID-19, cardiac involvement and cardiac rehabilitation: Insights from a rehabilitation perspective - State of the Art.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, many novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have experienced multisystem involvement or become critically ill and treated in intensive care units, and even died. Among these systemic effects, cardiac involvement may have very important consequences for the patient's prognosis and later life. Patients with COVID-19 may develop cardiac complications such as heart failure, myocarditis, pericarditis, vasculitis, acute coronary syndrome, and cardiac arrhythmias or trigger an accompanying cardiac disease.

Fibrous dysplasia and McCune-Albright syndrome: A case report with review of literature on the rehabilitation approach.

McCune-Albright syndrome is classically defined by the clinical triad of fibrous dysplasia (FD) of the bone, café-au-lait macules, and endocrinopathies. We report the case of a 15-year-old male with a diagnosed with McCune Albright syndrome. McCune-Albright syndrome remains a diagnostic challenge, and delayed diagnosis may have significant consequences.
