Aim: To present the results of fast track rehabilitation after anatomical lung resection.
Material And Methods: Single-center prospective non-randomized trial has included patients for the period December 2014 - December 2016. Conventional protocol was applied in 124 patients, 58 patients after atypical lung resections or pneumonectomy were excluded from the study. Thus, there were 66 patients aged 61 (51; 67) years. Men/women ratio was 37:29. Lobectomy (n=55) and segmentectomy (n=11) were performed for lung cancer, metastatic injury and various inflammatory diseases in 53 (80.3%), 8 (12.1%) and 5 (7.6 %) cases, respectively. ASA risk score was II (16), III (46), IV (4). Video-assisted/open procedures ratio was 42 (63.6%) / 24 (36.4%).
Results: 30-day postoperative morbidity was 7.6% (5 out of 66 patients, 95% CI 3.3- 16.5). Pleural drainage tube was removed within the 1 postoperative day in 49 (74.2%) out of 66 patients. Prolonged insufficient aerostasis was observed in 3 patients followed by effective conservative treatment. Overall mortality was 3% (n=2, 95% CI 0.8- 10.4) due to pulmonary embolism and sudden cardiac death. Median of postoperative hospital-stay was 7 (6; 9) days without significant differences between groups of lobectomy and segmentectomy (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Fast track rehabilitation protocol in thoracic surgery is safe and effective. Further studies are needed to justify early rehabilitation in high risk patients.

Physical exercise effectively prevents anxiety disorders caused by environmental stress. The neural circuitry mechanism, however, remains incomplete. Here, we identified a previously unrecognized pathway originating from the primary motor cortex (M1) to medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) via the ventromedial thalamic (VM) nuclei in male mice.

Background: The objective of this review is to evaluate the methodological quality of meta-analyses and observe the consistency of the evidence they generated to provide comprehensive and reliable evidence for the clinical use of three-dimensional (3D) printing in surgical treatment of fracture.
Methods: We searched three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) up until August 2024. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards were adhered to in this review.

Bladder dysfunction is a common clinical problem in stroke patients and a strong prognostic factor of disability and exerts an enormous impact on health and economy. The aim of this narrative review was tο examine the pathophysiological mechanisms of lower urinary tract symptoms after stroke, as well as the relevant clinical anatomy. Normal micturition is achieved through complex coordination between brain regions, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, and anatomic brain connectivity is crucial to lower urinary tract physiology.

Background: A bone stress injury (BSI) is a common overuse injury in collegiate athletes, particularly cross-country and track and field runners. Limited work describes the seasonality of BSIs or the differences in rates and anatomic locations of BSIs in collegiate runners.
Purpose: To describe seasonally related trends in anatomic locations of BSIs in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I male and female middle- and long-distance runners.

Purpose: The purpose of this case was to investigate objectively and quantitatively the effects of the application of repeated focal muscle vibration (fMV) associated with neurocognitive exercise on a 46-year-old patient with spastic paraparesis secondary to the surgical removal of a C5-C6 ependymoma.
Methods: We have evaluated gait parameters, spasticity, and pain with clinical scales. We have applied focal muscle vibration on quadriceps femoris, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, and iliopsoas muscles bilaterally.
