Can FES-Augmented Active Cycling Training Improve Locomotion in Post-Acute Elderly Stroke Patients?

Recent studies advocated the use of active cycling coupled with functional electrical stimulation to induce neuroplasticity and enhance functional improvements in stroke adult patients. The aim of this work was to evaluate whether the benefits induced by such a treatment are superior to standard physiotherapy. A single-blinded randomized controlled trial has been performed on post-acute elderly stroke patients.

Eosinophilic Granuloma of the Mandible: Is a Conservative Treatment Sufficient for Local Disease Control?

Eosinophilic granuloma is the most benign and common form of the Langerhans cell histiocytosis, a rare proliferative disease that can affect single or multiple organs. In the quite common head and neck manifestation these lesions can be confused in the beginning, with other bone diseases such as odontogenic cysts, periodontal disease, or malignancies. Treatment varies depending on the size, number, localization of the lesions, and patient's general conditions.
