Transfemoral Osseointegration for Amputees with Well-Managed Diabetes Mellitus.
JB JS Open Access
December 2024
Limb Reconstruction Centre, Macquarie University Hospital, Macquarie University, Macquarie Park, New South Wales, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- Lower-extremity amputations are commonly caused by complications from diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease, with traditional socket prostheses being the standard, while transcutaneous osseointegration for amputees (TOFA) is emerging as a potential alternative, particularly needing research for diabetic patients.* -
- A study reviewed 17 patients with well-controlled diabetes who underwent unilateral transfemoral TOFA, tracking perioperative complications, additional surgeries, mobility, and quality of life over two years, finding no major systemic complications or deaths.* -
- Results indicated that some patients experienced minor complications, but the majority showed significant improvements, such as an increase in daily prosthesis wear time from 36% to 79% of patients wearing it
How have neck muscle vibration effects on visuospatial behavior and spatial neglect been explored? A scoping review.
J Clin Exp Neuropsychol
November 2024
Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Department, University Hospital of Rennes, Rennes, France.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores the effects of neck muscle vibration (NMV) on visual exploration in post-stroke patients with unilateral spatial neglect (USN), revealing inconsistencies in previous research findings due to diverse methodologies and outcome measures.
- A total of 25 publications from 1988 to 2023 were analyzed, involving 512 participants, with a significant number (22.3%) having USN, and highlighting common practices in NMV application and testing.
- The research indicates that while NMV frequency was consistent, the variety in application methods, tasks performed, and outcome measures indicates a need for standardized approaches in future studies.
Influence of Subjective Postural Vertical with Closed and Open Eyes in Patients with Hemiplegic and Pusher Behavior with Unilateral Spatial Neglect After Stroke: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Brain Sci
October 2024
Department of Rehabilitation, Tums Sakura Hospital Edogawa, Edogawa 133-0063, Tokyo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how patients with hemiplegia and those with pusher syndrome (who also have unilateral spatial neglect) process their postural vertical using the Romberg test, focusing on the differences in sensory integration with their eyes open or closed.
- It analyzed a total of 136 patients, finding that both groups showed moderate to severe issues with their integrated subjective postural vertical, but no significant demographic differences or ISPV disparities between them.
- The research highlights that the pusher behavior is linked to specific sensory integration problems, providing deeper understanding of the unique pathophysiology in patients with pusher syndrome and USN.
Mandibular Periostitis Ossificans in a 17-Week-Old Male Great Dane.
J Vet Dent
November 2024
Strong Village Veterinary Center, Livonia, MI, USA.
This case report describes the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features of a self-limiting mandibular swelling in a juvenile, large breed dog with a diagnosis of mandibular periostitis ossificans (MPO). This is a pathologic syndrome of immature large breed dogs that presents with a unilateral, nonpainful, caudal mandibular swelling centering on the erupting first molar tooth. This condition affects dogs with a median age of approximately 4 months.

Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, Neuro-X Institute, Faculty of Life Sciences, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Geneva, Switzerland; Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland. Electronic address:
Introduction: Parkinson's Disease (PD) may lead to cognitive symptoms, including visuo-spatial attentional deficits such as unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Although there is some evidence for USN in PD patients, especially in those with left-sided onset of motor-symptoms (LPD), previous studies revealed inconsistent and highly variable results in neglect tasks using line bisection and have not systematically compared LPD with RPD (PD patients with right-sided onset) or healthy controls (HC).
Methods: We designed a fully automatized online web-based line bisection task and tested a group of 170 PD patients (81 RPD, 66 LPD) and 45 HC.
