The redesign of the rehabilitation program at Runnymede Healthcare Centre (RHC) was designed to enhance patient care, staff satisfaction, and rehabilitation capacity. Aligned with RHC's strategic vision to become a centre of excellence for ageing and wellness, the initiative introduced a range of initiatives such as group therapy models, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound rehabilitation goals, and enhanced leadership practices under the healthy engagement of older adults in rehabilitation therapy philosophy. Evaluation was integral to the initiative, with patient satisfaction, staff engagement, and key performance indicators continuously measured. Patient satisfaction scores, operational efficiency metrics, and staff engagement scores improved considerably. This project exemplifies how structured change management and embedded evaluation can lead to sustained improvements in patient care, staff experience, and rehabilitation outcomes.

Background: Mobile health apps have shown promising results in improving self-management of several chronic diseases in patients. We have developed a mobile health app (Cardiomeds) dedicated to patients with heart failure (HF). This app includes an interactive medication list; daily self-monitoring of symptoms, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate; and educational information on HF delivered through various formats.

Persons with blindness and low vision experience increased fall and injury risk beyond atypical biomechanics and balance impairments. Falling risk doubles with blindness, and more than triples with depth perception losses. Despite this, physical therapy focuses on musculoskeletal injuries postevent rather than taking a proactive and preventative approach for persons with blindness and low vision.

Flaviviruses, which include globally impactful pathogens, such as West Nile virus, yellow fever virus, Zika virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and dengue virus, contribute significantly to human infections. Despite the ongoing emergence and resurgence of flavivirus-mediated pathogenesis, the absence of specific therapeutic options remains a challenge in the prevention and treatment of flaviviral infections. Through the intricate processes of fusion, transcription, replication, and maturation, the complex interplay of viral and host metabolic interactions affects pathophysiology.

Artificial haptics has the potential to revolutionize the way we integrate physical and virtual technologies in our daily lives, with implications for teleoperation, motor skill acquisition, rehabilitation, gaming, interpersonal communication, and beyond. Here, we delve into the intricate interplay between the somatosensory system and engineered haptic inputs for perception and action. We critically examine the sensory feedback's fidelity and the cognitive demands of interfacing with these systems.

The lack of definitive scientific evidence sustains uncertainty about the efficacy of glucosamine and its combination therapies for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), contributing to an ongoing debate among clinical practice guidelines and healthcare practitioners. This systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to identify the most effective glucosamine combination therapy for KOA patients. Frequentist random-effects models were employed for this NMA, with standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated for primary outcomes.
