Satisfaction, effectiveness, and usability of telerehabilitation for Parkinson's disease patients.

Objective: To evaluate the satisfaction, effectiveness, and usability of a telerehabilitation programme for Parkinson's disease (PD) patients.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Subjects/patients: PD patients based on the diagnostic criteria for clinically established or probable PD published by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Three cases of sequential treatment with nintedanib following pulsed-dose corticosteroids for acute exacerbation of interstitial lung diseases.

We describe three cases of acute exacerbation of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) in which patients were treated with pulsed-doses of corticosteroids followed by nintedanib and maintenance doses of corticosteroids. All cases responded well to pulsed-dose corticosteroids. However, in conventional practice, corticosteroids can complicate adverse events, including opportunistic infections, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
