- Research using a mouse model of spinal cord injury revealed that lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from gram-negative bacteria worsen NHO development via a specific receptor pathway, but not through gut-related endotoxins.
- Additionally, a study found that infections from gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas, are linked to increased NHO in patients with traumatic brain injuries, highlighting the importance of managing infections to reduce the risk of NHO.
Background: Effects of early mobilization are not well documented in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Only a few studies have investigated it through progressive mobilization protocols and suggested that it is safe and feasible. This study aimed to determine the impact of early out-of-bed mobilization (EOM) on 3-month functional outcome and cerebral vasospasm (CVS) occurrence in patients with aSAH.

- The study introduced dermatoporosis (DP), a condition characterized by extreme skin fragility in older adults, associated with serious complications like skin lacerations and hematomas, and highlighted a lack of research on its prevalence in individuals aged 75 and older.
- The study assessed the prevalence and risk factors of DP in 101 hospitalized patients, finding a 27% prevalence, with complications occurring in 37%, primarily on the upper limbs.
- Key risk factors for DP included age, smoking, recreational sun exposure, and anticoagulant therapy, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and preventive measures among geriatricians.
