Ankle-foot orthoses for improving walking in adults with calf muscle weakness due to neuromuscular disorders.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2025
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Amsterdam UMC, location University of Amsterdam, Meibergdreef 9, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Background: Calf muscle weakness is a common symptom in slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders that lead to walking problems like instability and increased walking effort. The mainstay of treatment to improve walking in this population is the provision of ankle-foot-orthoses (AFOs). Since we are not aware of an up-to-date and complete overview of the effects of AFOs used for calf muscle weakness in slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders, we reviewed the evidence for the effectiveness of AFOs to improve walking in this patient group, in order to support clinical decision-making.

In this case, we present the case of a 74-year-old female patient who visited the University Hospital of Patras, Greece, because of a 10-day history of earache and discharge in the left ear. Concurrently, the patient exhibited ipsilateral peripheral facial nerve palsy. We also observed vesicular eruption at the auricle and the external auditory canal (EAC) of the left ear.

J Intellect Dev Disabil
March 2024
Clinical and Professional Development, Melmark New England, Andover, MA, USA.
Background: Some adults with intellectual disabilities do not acquire oral feeding skills and are dependent on gastrostomy tube supplementation.
Methods: Two adults with intellectual and multiple disabilities received intervention for oral consumption during daily meals (standardised food and liquid quantities, individualised procedural guidelines, and consumption-contingent consequences) while the frequency and amount of gastrostomy tube feedings were gradually decreased and eliminated.
Results: Compared to baseline (pre-intervention) conditions, the adults increased oral consumption of food and liquid during the intervention and gastrostomy tube supplementation was eliminated.
Effect of Fast-Track Surgery Based on Nutritional Support in the Rehabilitation of Patients Undergoing Radical Thyroidectomy and Lateral Lymphadenectomy: A Retrospective Analysis.

January 2025
Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 430022 Wuhan, Hubei, China.
Aim: This study aims to investigate the impact of fast-track surgery (FTS), based on nutritional support, on postoperative rehabilitation and nutritional status in patients undergoing radical thyroidectomy and lateral lymphadenectomy.
Methods: This retrospective study included 112 patients who underwent radical thyroid cancer surgery and lateral neck lymph node dissection at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, between April 2021 and April 2023. Based on various nursing methods, patients were divided into two groups, with 58 patients included in the observation group (FTS care based on nutritional support), and 54 patients in the control group (routine perioperative care).
Preliminary Effectiveness of a Telehealth-Delivered Exercise Program in Older Adults Living With and Beyond Cancer: Retrospective Study.
JMIR Cancer
January 2025
Department of Health and Kinesiology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, United States.
Background: Exercise can attenuate the deleterious combined effects of cancer treatment and aging among older adults with cancer, yet exercise participation is low. Telehealth exercise may improve exercise engagement by decreasing time and transportation barriers; however, the utility of telehealth exercise among older adults with cancer is not well established.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of a one-on-one, supervised telehealth exercise program on physical function, muscular endurance, balance, and flexibility among older adults with cancer.
