A 41-year-old woman who had been taking paroxetine began taking tramadol for bilateral ankle pain. A few days later, the patient presented acutely with both feet tremors. During a mental arithmetic task, index-finger pointing posture briefly appeared on the left side. Co-administration of paroxetine and tramadol increases the risk of serotonin toxicity. This is the first reported case of index-finger pointing posture which was associated with serotonin toxicity.

Background: People with patellofemoral pain (PFP) may have bilateral deficits in hop for distance test (SLHD) performance, whereas the worsening performance of the pain-free or less painful limbs suggests that bilateral movement differences may occur. While clinicians may not be aware of bilateral movement differences that may be employed during the clinical assessment of SLHD performance (e.g.

Vaginal pessaries have been used for millennia to alleviate symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Despite their long-standing use, the success rate of pessary treatment is approximately 60%, and the underlying mechanisms of support are not well understood. This study aims to investigate three previously proposed hypotheses regarding the support mechanisms of pessaries, utilizing supine and upright magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): (1) support by bony structures, (2) support by levator ani muscles (LAM), and (3) the uterus keeping the pessary in place by acting as a lever.

As musculoskeletal injuries in gastroenterologists related to the performance of endoscopic procedures are on the rise, solutions and new approaches are needed to prevent these undesired outcomes. In our study, we evaluated an approach to ergonomic challenges in the form of a belt-like endoscope holder designed to redistribute the weight of the endoscope across the whole body of the practitioner. The aim of the study was to determine how the use of this holder affected the body posture of practitioners during endoscopy.

The realization of hand function reengineering using a manipulator is a research hotspot in the field of robotics. In this paper, we propose a multimodal perception and control method for a robotic hand to assist the disabled. The movement of the human hand can be divided into two parts: the coordination of the posture of the fingers, and the coordination of the timing of grasping and releasing objects.

Yoga has been recommended as a complementary management strategy for women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP), but many women lack access to specialized yoga instruction for this indication, and few data are available to evaluate changes in CPP with yoga. This feasibility trial evaluated the acceptability and tolerability of a remotely delivered yoga program for CPP in women and examined data quality and interpretability for measures of pelvic pain intensity and impact with yoga instruction. Ambulatory women with CPP were recruited from northern California in 2020-2022 and randomly assigned to a 2-month program involving twice weekly group classes delivered by videoconference supplemented by individual practice of pelvic yoga techniques versus a control program involving equivalent-time instruction and practice of nonspecific skeletal muscle stretching-strengthening exercises.
