Validity of the Budapest Criteria For Poststroke Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.

Objectives: Complex regional pain syndrome-1 is a chronic neuropathic disorder, and poststroke complex regional pain syndrome (PS-CRPS) is not a rare complication. There is a lack of study implementing the Budapest criteria for PS-CRPS diagnosis. Thus, the present study investigated the validity of the Budapest criteria for PS-CRPS diagnosis and assessed the PS-CRPS-related factors in stroke patients with an affected upper extremity.

An Infantile Case of Sandhoff Disease Presenting With Swallowing Difficulty.

Infants with Sandhoff disease typically appear normal until 3-6 months of age. As the disease progresses, they present with symptoms such as loss of motor skills, exaggerated startle response to loud noise, seizures, visual loss, and paralysis. We encountered a rare case of a 22-month-old girl with Sandhoff disease characterized by progressive motor weakness and dysphagia, who initially showed signs of aspiration at 20 months of age.

Stroke Impact Scale 3.0: Reliability and Validity Evaluation of the Korean Version.

Objective: To establish the reliability and validity the Korean version of the Stroke Impact Scale (K-SIS) 3.0.

Methods: A total of 70 post-stroke patients were enrolled.

Postoperative renal function in patients is unaltered after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Background: Pneumoperitoneum with an intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) of 14 mmHg is known to decrease renal function. Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) requires an IAP of more than 15 mmHg for operation. Therefore, we retrospectively investigated whether patients who underwent RARP experienced renal insufficiency during the postoperative period (at postoperative days 7 and 30).
