This report presents oral rehabilitation of a maxillectomy patient after cancer surgery by fabricating a prosthesis comprising of a denture and a custom-made magnetic retainer. Herein, we present a case of hemimaxillectomy due to squamous cell carcinoma, which was efficiently rehabilitated with implants. Patient's condition and his profile acceptably improved following rehabilitation.

Background: Nasal high flow (NHF) has been proposed to sustain high intensity exercise in people with COPD, but we have a poor understanding of its physiological effects in this clinical setting.

Research Question: What is the effect of NHF during exercise on dynamic respiratory muscle function and activation, cardiorespiratory parameters, endurance capacity, dyspnoea and leg fatigue as compared to control intervention.

Study Design And Methods: Randomized single-blind crossover trial including COPD patients.

Differential Neuronal Activation of Nociceptive Pathways in Neuropathic Pain After Spinal Cord Injury.

Cell Mol Neurobiol

January 2025

Department of Neurology, Tongji Medical College, Tongji Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430030, China.

Neuropathic pain, a prevalent complication following spinal cord injury (SCI), severely impairs the life quality of patients. No ideal treatment exists due to incomplete knowledge on underlying neural processes. To explore the SCI-induced effect on nociceptive circuits, the protein expression of c-Fos was analyzed as an indicator of neuronal activation in a rat contusion model exhibiting below-level pain.

Multidimensional Classification and Prediction of Outcome Following Traumatic Brain Injury.

J Head Trauma Rehabil

January 2025

Author Affiliations: Monash-Epworth Rehabilitation Research Centre, School of Psychological Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (Prof Ponsford and Drs Spitz, Pyman, Carrier, Hicks, and Nguyen); Department of Neuroscience, Central Clinical School, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (Dr Spitz); TIRR Memorial Hermann Research Center Houston, Texas (Drs Sander and Sherer); and H. Ben Taub Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Baylor College of Medicine & Harris Health System, Houston, Texas (Drs Sander and Sherer).

Objectives: This study aimed to identify outcome clusters among individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), 6 months to 10 years post-injury, in an Australian rehabilitation sample, and determine whether scores on 12 dimensions, combined with demographic and injury severity variables, could predict outcome cluster membership 1 to 3 years post-injury.

Setting: Rehabilitation hospital.

Participants: A total of 467 individuals with TBI, aged 17 to 87 (M = 44.

Awaiting insurance coverage: Medicaid enrollment and post-acute care use after traumatic injury.

J Trauma Acute Care Surg

January 2025

From the Section of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, Department of Surgery (D.N.H., J.S.H.), University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois; Perelman School of Medicine (E.C.E., A.T.C., O.I.R., A.U.M., M.K.D., N.D.M., M.J.S., E.J.K.), Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care and Emergency Surgery (K.M.C., N.D.M., M.J.S., E.J.K.), University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Department of Surgery (L.M.K.), Stanford University, Stanford, California.

Background: Lack of insurance after traumatic injury is associated with decreased use of postacute care and poor outcomes. Insurance linkage programs enroll eligible patients in Medicaid at the time of an unplanned admission. We hypothesized that Medicaid enrollment would be associated with increased use of postacute care, but also with prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) while awaiting insurance authorization.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate long-term bone development in children with cerebral palsy (CP) using longitudinal measurements of total body less head bone mineral content (TBLH-BMC) and bone mineral density (TBLH-BMD).

Methods: A retrospective longitudinal analysis was performed on 109 children with CP who participated in a rehabilitation programme from 2006 to 2018. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans were performed at the beginning of the programme and repeated as clinically indicated.
