Retrospective Cohort Study on the Incidence and Management of Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain in Stroke Inpatients.

Cureus

December 2024

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Centro de Reabilitação do Norte, Vila Nova de Gaia, PRT.

Background: Painful hemiplegic shoulder (PHS) is a prevalent and challenging complication following a stroke and can significantly impair a patient's engagement in rehabilitation, leading to poorer functional outcomes and extended hospital stays. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the incidence, etiology, and management of PHS in stroke inpatients, focusing on the effectiveness of various therapeutic interventions.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of subacute stroke inpatients who developed PHS during rehabilitation at a single center.

Electro-tactile modulation of muscle activation and intermuscular coordination in the human upper extremity.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Houston, 3517 Cullen Blvd, SERC Room 2011, Houston, TX, 77204-5060, USA.

Electro-tactile stimulation (ETS) can be a promising aid in augmenting sensation for those with sensory deficits. Although applications of ETS have been explored, the impact of ETS on the underlying strategies of neuromuscular coordination remains largely unexplored. We investigated how ETS, alone or in the presence of mechano-tactile environment change, modulated the electromyogram (EMG) of individual muscles during force control and how the stimulation modulated the attributes of intermuscular coordination, assessed by muscle synergy analysis, in human upper extremities.

lncRNA SNHG6 Knockdown Promotes Microglial M2 Polarization and Alleviates Spinal Cord Injury via Regulating the miR-182-5p/NEUROD4 Axis.

Appl Biochem Biotechnol

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, General Medical 300 Hospital, No. 420 Huanghe Road, Guiyang City, 550006, Guizhou Province, China.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the devastating neurological disorders that leads to a loss of motor and sensory functions. Long non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 6 (lncRNA SNHG6) plays a crucial role in inflammatory regulation across various diseases. This study investigates the role of SNHG6 in SCI development and its underlying regulatory mechanisms.

Objective: Epilepsy is considered as a network disorder of interacting brain regions. The propagation of local epileptic activity from the seizure onset zone (SOZ) along neuronal networks determines the semiology of seizures. However, in highly interconnected brain regions such as the insula, the association between the SOZ and semiology is blurred necessitating invasive stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG).
