Article Synopsis
  • H5N1 high pathogenicity avian influenza has caused significant deaths among marine mammals in South America, particularly highlighted by an outbreak affecting southern elephant seals in Argentina in October 2023.
  • Comprehensive genomic analysis reveals a distinct clade of H5N1 viruses found in both seals and terns, showing similarities with viruses from other South American countries.
  • Findings indicate a potential for mammal-to-mammal transmission of H5N1, raising concerns about its adaptability to mammals and possible impacts on wildlife, human health, and livestock globally.

Background: Robotic therapy (RT) has been internationally recognized for the motor rehabilitation of the upper limb. Although it seems that RT can stimulate and promote neuroplasticity, the effectiveness of robotics in restoring cognitive deficits has been considered only in a few recent studies.

Objective: To verify whether, in the current state of the literature, cognitive measures are used as inclusion or exclusion criteria and/or outcomes measures in robotic upper limb rehabilitation in stroke patients.
