Objective: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia are highly vascularized infiltrating lesions that can lead to severe haemorrhagic complications. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia who experienced uterine haemorrhagic complications, and their management.
Study Design: This retrospective study analysed the histories of 2099 patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia registered at the French Reference Centre for Trophoblastic Disease between 1999 and 2023.
Background: Photobiomodulation (PBM) may stabilize autonomic neural drive from the pontine micturition Center to the urinary bladder in individuals with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms.
Methods: A safety profile study preceded a single-case experimental design with repeated measures across subjects to establish the safety and effect direction of PBM to modify symptoms in patients with OAB.
Results: No adverse events occurred with PBM, specifically blood pressure remained unchanged.
This systematic review aims to determine the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for the management of spasticity in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). A comprehensive literature search in health science databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, CINHAL) was performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (up to April 2024). Manual searching in journals and screening of the reference lists of identified studies were conducted.

This study shows the development of a robotic Task Specific Training (TST) protocol and evaluate the achieved dose.
Materials And Methods: Mixed-method study.
Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to create a new survey for bereaved care partners to gather insights on their experiences with ALS supportive care throughout the illness, rather than just in the final days of life.
- The survey was developed through collaboration between ALS and palliative care experts and included questions on various aspects of care, including symptom management and emotional support.
- Initial testing with 18 care partners showed that the survey was effective in collecting valuable feedback for improving ALS supportive care, with plans for wider testing in other centers to enhance quality further.
