Polysomnographic titration of non-invasive ventilation in motor neurone disease (3TLA): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Trials
January 2025
Department of Physiotherapy, Melbourne School of Health Science, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) uses positive pressure to assist people with respiratory muscle weakness or severe respiratory compromise to breathe. Most people use this treatment during sleep when breathing is most susceptible to instability. The benefits of using NIV in motor neurone disease (MND) are well-established.

Background: In order to increase the stability of tibial component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), intramedullary stem extensions (SE) have been developed. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to address the critical knowledge gap on post-operative outcomes and complications rate comparison between tibial component with SE compared to the tibial component standard configuration (SC) in primary cemented TKA.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of online databases, including Pubmed, Embase, ISI Web of science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus, using the following MeSH terms, (total knee arthroplasty) OR (TKA) OR (total knee replacement) AND (Tibial stem) OR (stem extension) OR (long stem).
Overground robotic exoskeleton vs conventional therapy in inpatient stroke rehabilitation: results from a pragmatic, multicentre implementation programme.

Division of Rehabilitation Medicine, Department of Medicine, National University Hospital, Singapore, Singapore.
Background: Despite the reported efficacy of overground robotic exoskeleton (ORE) for rehabilitation of mobility post-stroke, its effectiveness in real-world practice is still debated. We analysed prospectively collected data from Improving Mobility Via Exoskeleton (IMOVE), a multicentre clinical implementation programme of ORE enrolling participants with various neurological conditions and were given options to choose between 12 sessions of ORE or conventional therapy (control).
Methods: This is analysis of participants under IMOVE who fulfilled the following criteria (i) primary diagnosis was stroke (ischemic, hemorrhagic; first or recurrent), (ii) onset of stroke was within 9 months and (iii) the intervention was during inpatient stay.
Long-term neuropsychologic outcome of pre-emptive mTOR inhibitor treatment in children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) under 4 months of age (PROTECT), a two-arm, randomized, observer-blind, controlled phase IIb national multicentre clinical trial: study protocol.

Division of Pediatric Epileptology, Department of Pediatrics I, Medical Faculty of Heidelberg, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany.
Background: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder affecting multiple organ systems, with a prevalence of 1:6,760-1:13,520 live births in Germany. On the molecular level, TSC is caused by heterozygous loss-of-function variants in either of the genes TSC1 or TSC2, encoding the Tuberin-Hamartin complex, which acts as a critical upstream suppressor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a key signaling pathway controlling cellular growth and metabolism. Despite the therapeutic success of mTOR inhibition in treating TSC-associated manifestations, studies with mTOR inhibitors in children with TSC above two years of age have failed to demonstrate beneficial effects on disease-related neuropsychological deficits.

Crit Care
January 2025
Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Centre, School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Department of Epidemiology and Preventative Medicine, Monash University, 553 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Background: Nutrition interventions commenced in ICU and continued through to hospital discharge have not been definitively tested in critical care to date. To commence a program of research, we aimed to determine if a tailored nutrition intervention delivered for the duration of hospitalisation delivers more energy than usual care to patients initially admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Methods: A multicentre, unblinded, parallel-group, phase II trial was conducted in twenty-two hospitals in Australia and New Zealand.
