Subacute angle closure causes intermittent episodes of transiently elevated intraocular pressure. Headache is often the chief complaint, which may lead to misdiagnosis. The authors examined headache characteristics and consequences of delayed diagnosis. Patients presenting with headaches have a substantial delay in diagnosis, contributing to permanent ocular damage and glaucoma. Patients with subacute angle closure misdiagnosed with migraine are older and have shorter-duration headaches than patients with typical migraine.

Rehabilitation of gait function in post-stroke hemiplegic patients is critical for improving mobility and quality of life, requiring a comprehensive understanding of individual gait patterns. Previous studies on gait analysis using unsupervised clustering often involve manual feature extraction, which introduces limitations such as low accuracy, low consistency, and potential bias due to human intervention. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify and cluster gait patterns using an end-to-end deep learning approach that autonomously extracts features from joint angle trajectories for a gait cycle, minimizing human intervention.

Objectives: Malnutrition in stroke is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Bioelectrical impedance analysis-derived phase angle (PhA) is widely used for assessing nutritional status as an index of muscle quality. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between whole body and limb PhAs and nutritional risk in stroke patients.

Epiphyseal Brodie's abscesses represent a rare, slow-progressing form of osteomyelitis that contrasts with the more aggressive types of infection typically seen in bone. These abscesses develop from a low-grade infection and progress gradually, posing unique challenges for treatment due to their proximity to the growth plate and joint structures. While the literature on managing epiphyseal Brodie's abscesses is limited, common treatments include antibiotics and surgical drainage.

Background: Impaired balance and gait in stroke survivors are associated with decreased functional independence. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton robot-assisted overground gait training compared with conventional treatment and to explore the relationship between neuroplastic changes and motor function recovery in subacute stroke patients.
Methods: In this randomized, single-blind clinical trial, 40 patients with subacute stroke were recruited and randomly assigned to either a robot-assisted training (RT) group or a conventional training (CT) group.

Background: The purpose of this study was to (1) evaluate preoperative pelvic tilt utilizing the sacro-femoral-pubic (SFP) angle on standing pelvic x-rays, and (2) determine if the SFP angle changes after a unilateral or bilateral PAO.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of PAOs performed by a single hip preservation surgeon from November 2018 to November 2023. Standing x-rays were reviewed at 4 time points: preoperative, subacute postoperative, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up.
