The success of treating 549 patients who had survived cerebral stroke and received a course of therapy at a specialized rehabilitation outpatient clinic has demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of rehabilitation in outpatient conditions. Comparison of the results of treatment in the study (139 patients) and the control (100 patients) groups offers a good idea as to the social significance of such rehabilitation. 75.8% of the study patients admitted for treatment immediately after the acute stage of the disease were found capable of working (including subjects with minimal disability), whereas the corresponding figure in the control group was only 16%. A new organizational structure, a neurologic outpatient rehabilitation department, providing combined biological and psychosocial methods of treatment is discussed. The principles of the design of the therapeutic and restorative process including psycho- and physiotherapy, as well as special methods of exercise therapy and occupational therapy are presented.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the collagen fiber structure of the subcutaneous fascia, a connective tissue layer between the skin and epimysium.
Methods: Fascia samples with varying extensibility were examined using biochemical and microscopic methods.
Results: Loose fascia, the more extensible type, displayed sparsely distributed collagen fibers, while dense fascia showed tightly packed collagen fiber bundles.

Background: Fatigue and inactivity are linked to decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in chronic conditions. A multidimensional approach to activity pacing may improve HRQoL by promoting physical activity (PA) and alleviating fatigue. Addressing fatigue across chronic conditions is crucial, especially when underlying causes are unknown.

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a common therapy for many hematologic malignancies. While advances in transplant practice have improved cancer-specific outcomes, multiple and debilitating long term physical and psychologic effects remain. Patients undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) are often critically ill at initial diagnosis and with necessary sequential treatments become increasingly frail and deconditioned.

Objective: To evaluate short, mid and long-term clinical outcomes and patients' satisfaction of minimally invasive full-mouth rehabilitation using different materials and techniques for patients with moderate to severe tooth wear. Furthermore, materials were analyzed to identify their influences on clinical results.
Materials And Methods: Search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trial, Embase, Web of science and Scopus until December 19, 2024.
