Remote delivery of seated exercises transfers to improved balance and mobility after stroke: a case report.

Introduction: Seated exercises can reduce the need for in-person assistance during remote-delivered programs, but its safety implications in stroke are unknown.

Objective: This case-report investigates the effect of a novel, remotely delivered 2-week seated exercise program on mobility in a person living with stroke.

Case Description: A 68-year-old man living with a chronic stroke (>1-year post-stroke) and moderate disability (Modified Rankin Scale = 3) participated in a 2-week seated exercise program delivered remotely through videoconferencing (Zoom).

Quality improvement approach to reduce patient cycle time at a student-run free healthcare clinical network.

Background: The University of Florida (UF) Equal Access Clinic Network (EACN) is the largest student-run free healthcare clinic network in Florida. The UF EACN serves those who are underinsured or uninsured in Alachua County and its surrounding area. Nationally, average total clinic time per medical visit has been established to be 84 min.

Effectiveness of financial support interventions to reduce adverse health outcomes among households in fuel poverty in the United Kingdom.

Objectives: This systematic review intended to assess the effectiveness of financial support interventions for household fuel poverty in the UK in terms of reducing adverse impacts on the health and wellbeing of recipients.

Methods: Bibliographic databases and grey literature sources were searched from the UK for studies that evaluated the health and wellbeing of participants following financial support to optimize indoor heating. Two independent reviewers carried out screening, data extraction and quality assessment of the articles.

Complement C1q-dependent engulfment of alpha-synuclein induces ENS-resident macrophage exhaustion and accelerates Parkinson's-like gut pathology.

Deposition of misfolded α-synuclein (αsyn) in the enteric nervous system (ENS) is found in multiple neurodegenerative diseases. It is hypothesized that ENS synucleinopathy contributes to both the pathogenesis and non-motor morbidity in Parkinson's Disease (PD), but the cellular and molecular mechanisms that shape enteric histopathology and dysfunction are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that ENS-resident macrophages, which play a critical role in maintaining ENS homeostasis, initially respond to enteric neuronal αsyn pathology by upregulating machinery for complement-mediated engulfment.

Assessing the coverage and timeliness of coronavirus vaccination among people experiencing homelessness in Wales, UK: a population-level data-linkage study.

Background: People experiencing homelessness have elevated morbidity, increasing their risk of COVID-19 related complications and mortality. Achieving high vaccination coverage in a timely manner among homeless populations was therefore important during the mass vaccination programme in Wales to limit adverse outcomes. However, no systematic monitoring of vaccinations among people experiencing homelessness in Wales has been undertaken.
