Unlabelled: By using a multimodal rehabilitation program professor Kehlet has shown accelerated recovery after colonic surgery with hospital stay of only two days, irrespective of open or laparoscopic technique. These results have not been confirmed in other studies. The aim of this study was to replace our traditional approach with Kehlet's multimodal regimen and try to reproduce his reported data.
Methods: 22 patients (median age 67 years) underwent right- or leftsided colectomies, 15 open (7 with midline incisions) and 7 laparoscopically. Continuous thoracic epidural, immediate mobilization and oral nutrition were used. Discharge was planned three days after surgery. On the first postoperative day all had oral intake and on the third day patients were mobilized for a median of 9.7 hours and all had resumed defecation. Pain and fatigue scores (VAS) were low. The median post-operative hospital stay was 3.5 (range 3-8) days. Two patients returned with complications. No cardiopulmonary or infectious complications were seen. The multimodal rehabilitation programme resulted in a quick recovery and a hospital stay of three days in most patients after colonic surgery.

Introduction: Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder frequently associated with subcortical damage. However, the precise roles of the subcortical nuclei, particularly the basal ganglia and thalamus, in the speech production process remain poorly understood.
Methods: The present study aimed to better understand their roles by mapping neuroimaging, behavioral, and speech data obtained from subacute stroke patients with subcortical lesions.

Background: As the roles of chemotherapy (Chemo) and radiation therapy (Radio) in the definitive treatment of breast cancer have expanded, a broader understanding of the factors associated with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) has become increasingly essential. Therefore, we investigated the association between multimodality treatment and the risk of BCRL.
Methods: In this retrospective study conducted using National Health Insurance data and the Korea National Cancer Incidence Database (2006-2017), 114,638 participants who underwent Surgery (Surg) or Chemo within 6 months after breast cancer diagnosis were enrolled, and the effect of multimodality treatment on the risk of BCRL was analyzed using the Cox proportional-hazards model.

Introduction: During the first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak in China, the surge of COVID-19 cases was rapid and drastic. Emerging evidence suggests that beyond the acute phase, patients with COVID-19 may experience a wide range of postacute or long COVID sequelae. However, the mechanism and burden of COVID-19, especially long COVID, have not yet been comprehensively clarified.

Objective: Prior research has identified that people with Parkinson's reporting lower levels of self-efficacy exhibit worsening motor and non-motor symptomology, reduced quality of life, and self-management. Our key objective was to conduct a scoping review examining the impact of digital health technologies on self-efficacy in people with Parkinson's.
Design: A scoping review using Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) framework was undertaken.
