Background: Impairment of trunk control is a common problem after stroke, and trunk impairment may affect many functions such as breathing, speech, limb movements and transfers.

Methods: A total of 30 patients with subacute stroke (14 female, 16 male) were included in this study.

Impact of the unplanned excision on the oncological outcomes of patients with soft tissue sarcomas: a single-center retrospective review of 490 patients.

Objective: This study aimed to (1) compare the oncological results of patients who underwent re-excision after unplanned excision with those who underwent planned excision and (2) analyze the impact of local recurrences on oncological outcomes.

Methods: Patients with soft tissue sarcoma who had been treated in our center between 2000 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: Group PE (Planned excision; n=345) and group UE (Unplanned excision; n=145).
