Background: Inpatient rehabilitation improves function in people with brain tumors, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) but there are limited data on the impact of multiple resections on outcomes. We hypothesize that outcomes will be more favorable for those patients with a single resection when compared to those with more than one resection.
Objective: To examine functional outcomes in inpatient rehabilitation for people with GBM who underwent one or more resections prior to admission.
Sialorrhea in children with cerebral palsy (CP) results in aspiration, decreased social integration, and poor quality of life. Management options include transdermal anticholinergics such as the scopolamine patch. A controlled clinical trial has proven botulinum toxin (BTX) injections into the salivary glands are an effective alternative to transdermal anticholinergics with a safer side effect profile.
