Combined Prolotherapy and Physical Therapy in a 60-Year-Old Man with Left Shoulder Pain and Limited Range of Motion (Frozen Shoulder) Following a Hemiplegic Stroke: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Frozen shoulder with limited range of motion is a common and debilitating condition that occurs on the affected side following a stroke. The effectiveness of therapy was reported to be negatively correlated with the complexity of pathogenesis. Prolotherapy involves injection into the joint of a small amount of irritant, such as dextrose, which enhances tissue strength and facilitates healing by targeting joint spaces.

Parameters optimization of rice husk ash (RHA)/CaO/CeO2 sorbent for predicting SO2/NO sorption capacity using response surface and neural network models.

In this work, the application of response surface and neural network models in predicting and optimizing the preparation variables of RHA/CaO/CeO(2) sorbent towards SO(2)/NO sorption capacity was investigated. The sorbents were prepared according to central composite design (CCD) with four independent variables (i.e.
