Aphasia nearly affects half of all poststroke patients. Furthermore, aphasia affects all language functions, well-being, and quality of life of patients. Therefore, rehabilitation of patients with aphasia requires an accurate assessment of language function and psychological aspects. However, assessment scales for language function and psychological aspects of patients with aphasia are said to be inaccurate. In Japan, this sign is more prominent than in English-speaking countries. Therefore, we are putting together a scoping review of research articles published in English and Japanese to date, with the aim of summarizing the accuracy of rating scales for language function and psychological aspects of people with aphasia. The scoping review was intended to be a comprehensive examination of the accuracy of rating scales for people with aphasia. We will search the article databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and the Medical Journal Web (Japan). The observational studies that describe the reliability and validity of the rating scales in adult aphasic after stroke will be searched for. There will be no publication date for the articles that will be searched. We believe that this scoping review aims to assess the accuracy of rating scales used to measure different aspects of aphasia, with a focus on research conducted in English-speaking countries and Japan. By conducting this review, we believe to identify any problems with rating scales used in English and Japanese research and improve their accuracy.

A randomized controlled trial: Effects of compression therapy combined with exercise on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with breast cancer.
Cancer Treat Res Commun
January 2025
North China University of Science and Technology, Tangshan 063210, China.
Purpose: To investigate the effects of compression therapy combined with exercise for cancer patients (EXCAP) in patients with peripheral neuropathy caused by breast cancer chemotherapy.
Methods: Overall, 108 patients with peripheral neuropathy after chemotherapy for breast cancer were randomly divided into the control group (routine nursing), experimental group 1 (compression therapy), and experimental group 2 (compression therapy and EXCAP). The National Institute of Cancer Drug Toxicity Rating Scale and the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment Tool were assessed and compared between groups.
Does Resilience Change in Patients Undergoing Shoulder Surgery? A Retrospective Comparative Study Utilizing the Brief Resilience Scale.
Clin Orthop Relat Res
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, AZ, USA.
Background: Resilience refers to the ability to adapt or recover from stress. There is increasing appreciation that it plays an important role in wholistic patient-centered care and may affect patient outcomes, including those of orthopaedic surgery. Despite being a focus of the current orthopaedic evidence, there is no strong understanding yet of whether resilience is a stable patient quality or a dynamic one that may be modified perioperatively to improve patient-reported outcome scores.

PLoS One
January 2025
CNRS, CRMBM, Aix Marseille Univ, Marseille, France.
Objective: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by significant heterogeneity among patients. 23Na MRI maps abnormal sodium homeostasis that reflects metabolic alterations and energetic failure contributing to the neurodegenerative process. In this study, we investigated disease severity at the individual level in ALS patients using brain 23Na MRI.

PLoS One
January 2025
University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, MI, United States of America.
Background: Aromatase inhibitors (AI) reduce hormone receptor-positive breast cancer recurrence risk by about 50%. However, half of AI-treated postmenopausal women report new or worsened musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS), and 20% discontinue therapy prematurely. Acupuncture is effective for reducing symptoms, but many women are not able to access acupuncture therapy.

January 2025
From the Department of Neuroradiology, University Medical Center Mainz, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany (L.S.L., K.H.H., A.K., M.A.B., S.A., A.E.O.); Institute of Medical Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Informatics, University Medical Center Mainz, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany (R.H.P.); and Siemens Healthineers AG, Forchheim, Germany (D.P., D.N.S.).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of motion artifacts and image quality of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1-weighted imaging applying 3D motion correction via the Scout Accelerated Motion Estimation and Reduction (SAMER) framework compared with conventional T1-weighted imaging at 1.5 T.
Materials And Methods: A preliminary study involving 14 healthy volunteers assessed the impact of the SAMER framework on induced motion during 3 T MRI scans.
