Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to improve understanding of COPD exacerbations by analyzing physiological parameters like respiratory and heart rates, using wearable technology to monitor patients in their home environment during treatment for exacerbations from February 2023 to January 2024.
- - Researchers collected data over 21 days from a group of 21 participants, focusing on daily symptom tracking through the EXACT-PRO questionnaire while examining the relationships between physiological metrics and symptom severity.
- - Findings revealed that RR variability, daily step count, and sleep efficiency had notable associations with symptom severity; specific physiological metrics varied in significance between 'recovered' and 'persistent worsening' participants, highlighting the complex nature of COPD exacerbations.
Cadence-based energy expenditure in able-bodied male people comparing cadence-based energy expenditure and oxygen cost indices in able-bodied male people.

Walking is a fundamental aspect of daily life and exercise, with clinical benefits for cardiovascular health and muscle strength. However, accurately measuring energy efficiency during walking poses challenges due to equipment and spatial constraints. In this study, we proposed the cadence-based energy expenditure index (cEEI) and analyzed its correlation with the previously proposed index for measuring energy expenditure under various gait conditions.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to evaluate the reliability of rehabilitative sonography as a non-invasive method for measuring the cross-sectional area of deep suboccipital muscles in participants with no neck pain.
- - It focuses on both intra-rater (same examiner) and inter-rater (different examiners) reliability to ensure that the measurements are consistent and reproducible over time.
- - Results indicate high reliability measures, with intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) showing good agreement both within and between examiners, validating sonography for clinical and research use in assessing musculoskeletal conditions.
From the Oral Cavity to the Spine: Prevalence of Oral Cavity Infections in Patients with Pyogenic Spinal Infection.
J Clin Med
February 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Goethe University Hospital, 60528 Frankfurt, Germany.
Background incidence of pyogenic spinal infections has increased in recent years. In addition to treating the spinal infection, optimal care also includes identifying the source of the pyogenic spinal infection and the presence of other infections. The aim of this study is to elucidate the prevalence of oral cavity infection (OCI) within this patient cohort.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of oropharyngeal colostrum immunotherapy (OCI) on the mortality of preterm newborns (PTNB) with very low birth weight (VLBW).
Method: Non-randomized clinical trial, carried out with 138 mother-child pairs attended at a public maternity hospital. The treatment group used raw colostrum, dripping 4 drops (0.
