Perception of Quality of Life by Primary Caregivers of Children with Congenital Zika Syndrome: a Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of caregivers of children diagnosed with CZS and to assess the association of findings with socioeconomic and CZS-associated variables.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional, quantitative study, carried out over three days of multidisciplinary care for patients with CZS. Sixty-four participants underwent a quality of life assessment using the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) in Portuguese.

Retrospective Cohort Study on the Incidence and Management of Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain in Stroke Inpatients.

Background: Painful hemiplegic shoulder (PHS) is a prevalent and challenging complication following a stroke and can significantly impair a patient's engagement in rehabilitation, leading to poorer functional outcomes and extended hospital stays. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the incidence, etiology, and management of PHS in stroke inpatients, focusing on the effectiveness of various therapeutic interventions.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of subacute stroke inpatients who developed PHS during rehabilitation at a single center.

The Knee-SCHOOL: a brief patient-centered multidisciplinary educational program for knee osteoarthritis.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common form of arthritis in adults and a leading cause of years lived with disability, representing a significant burden on healthcare worldwide.

Objective: Describe the structure and educational elements of the Knee-SCHOOL, a brief patient-centered multidisciplinary educational program for patients with KOA.

Design: Observational prospective study.

Artificial intelligence as a transforming factor in motility disorders-automatic detection of motility patterns in high-resolution anorectal manometry.

High-resolution anorectal manometry (HR-ARM) is the gold standard for anorectal functional disorders' evaluation, despite being limited by its accessibility and complex data analysis. The London Protocol and Classification were developed to standardize anorectal motility patterns classification. This proof-of-concept study aims to develop and validate an artificial intelligence model for identification and differentiation of disorders of anal tone and contractility in HR-ARM.

Tuberculous Subclavian Artery Pseudoaneurysm in a Young Male With Hemoptysis.

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms (SAPs) are rare and most often secondary to trauma. On the contrary, a mycotic origin is exceedingly rare, and defining this etiology can become challenging. We present a rare case of a tuberculous SAP in a young patient.
