Introduction: Patients undergoing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy face prolonged treatment timelines and are prone to cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) after infusion. Disabilities in physical function and the importance of rehabilitation during CAR-T-cell therapy to maintain physical function have been poorly documented.
Method: We performed a retrospective cohort study to assess changes in exercise tolerance via differences in a 6-min-walking distance (Δ6MWD) and factors influencing it.
Objectives: To investigate the effect of preoperative muscle quality on functional outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting And Participants: We included 426 patients who underwent primary THA between 2015 and 2022 to evaluate the relationship between preoperative muscle quality and 1-year functional outcomes following THA.
Aim: Assessing symptoms and daily functioning in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) can be challenging, as their limited self-monitoring abilities may result in behavior observed during structured interviews not accurately reflecting their daily lives. This study aimed to determine if specific occupational behaviors could distinguish individuals with MDD from healthy individuals.
Methods: Baseline data were collected from medical records and activity programs.
Background: Imaging examination of cerebral blood flow (CBF), oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and metabolic rate of oxygen is crucial for understanding the normal functioning and pathophysiology of the brain. A recently developed method estimates the appearance time of cerebral blood (ATB) pixel-wise from the imaging examination of CBF alone. In this study, we aimed to test the potential of ATB as an indicator of OEF.

- * A study analyzed data from 247 SMI patients who underwent OT, looking at their social activity status before hospitalization and one year post-discharge, factoring in OT participation and other demographic variables.
- * Findings revealed that higher OT participation rates, being socially active before hospitalization, and not having a marital history significantly predicted increased social activities after discharge.
