Background: Nearly half of subjects after COVID-19 still experience symptoms after 12 weeks, as described in the Post-Covid Syndrome (PCS). Other than the physical alterations perceived, mental health disorders have been frequently reported. Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) showed beneficial effects on psychological well-being in patients with respiratory dysfunctions, but they have been rarely tested in severe COVID-19 survivors.

Aim: To compare the effects of a supervised moderate-intensity gym-based intervention with a home-based low-intensity walking program on exercise capacity in KTRs.
Methods: KTRs were asked to choose between two six-month programs.
Article Synopsis
- After a stroke, patients need to relearn how to use their remaining motor skills, and motor learning is essential for recovery.
- A study involving 26 stroke patients assessed their ability to perform a Finger Tapping Task with both limbs and found that practice could improve performance in the affected limb, especially when starting with the unaffected limb.
- The findings suggest that while anxiety and attention impact motor performance, overall motor learning remains intact and can benefit from inter-limb transfer during rehabilitation.

Article Synopsis
- - Patient empowerment and sustainable practices can improve healthcare for chronic kidney disease patients by enhancing physical and mental health, potentially slowing the progression to end-stage renal disease while reducing environmental and economic impacts.
- - Multidisciplinary interventions, especially in later stages of kidney disease, can address sedentariness, low quality of life, and high healthcare costs through ecological strategies like tailored nutrition and exercise programs.
- - Integrating exercise into daily routines, particularly in biophilic environments, can enhance patients' well-being and socialization while involving healthcare professionals in managing these interventions effectively.
