A case of brain injury with a transient syndrome of mainly disinhibited behaviour (Franz Binz) was the subject of the 1888 medical dissertation of Leonore Welt (∗1859 Chernivtsi, Ukraine; †1944 Geneva, Switzerland) which came to be discussed quite controversially. Although Binz was never fully forgotten, the similar "American crow-bar case" (Phineas Gage) attracted more interest. Welt's study, in contrast, provides not only well-illustrated neuropathological findings but also more detailed clinical data.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines short-term effects after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, focusing on muscle strength, hip range of motion, and performance on functional tasks 2.5 months post-surgery.
  • Patients showed decreased hip flexion strength and reduced range of motion in the operated hip compared to the non-operated side, while functional task performance remained similar between both hips.
  • The findings suggest that while strength and range of motion are compromised after surgery, functional abilities may not be significantly impacted, highlighting the need for targeted rehabilitation strategies for better recovery outcomes.

Background: The goal of cleft palate (CP) repair is to restore normal speech, however, rates of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) after palatoplasty remain high. We present a modified straight-line palate repair (SLR) technique that facilitates velum length to alleviate VPI. The technique releases nasal mucosa with the levator muscle off the hard palate.

Unlabelled: Thoracic deformity affects circulatory dynamics, and postural changes may affect hemodynamics. We report on the case of a 10-year-old girl with straight back syndrome (SBS) and funnel chest in which a right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction was demonstrated by dynamic echocardiography. The patient occasionally experienced chest discomfort in the standing and sitting positions.

Effectiveness of Osteopathic Treatment in Adults with Short Hamstring Syndrome: A Systematic Review.

J Clin Med

October 2024

Department of Functional Biology and Health Sciences, Faculty of Physiotherapy, University of Vigo, Campus A Xunqueira, 36005 Pontevedra, Spain.

: Short hamstring syndrome is common in the general population and can lead to impaired balance, function, and posture, and increased risk of injuries. Local treatments have obtained controversial results, so it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of other types of therapy such as osteopathic treatment. To evaluate the efficacy of osteopathic techniques in increasing the elasticity of the hamstring musculature in short hamstring syndrome.
