The construct validity and internal consistency of QuickDASH in pediatric patients with upper extremity fractures
CONCLUSION: QuickDASH demonstrated acceptable construct validity and good internal consistency and is thus a valid instrument, with some limitations, to assess disability and quality of life in pediatric patients with upper extremity fractures.PMID:38686529 | PMC:PMC11058482 | DOI:10.2340/17453674.2024.40181 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

Benefits and challenges of using assistive technology in the education and rehabilitation of Individuals with visual impairments
Conclusion: More cost-effective technologies need to be developed, and social policies and opportunities created so that every individual with visual impairment can obtain assistive technologies that meet their needs. This would increase the independence of individuals with visual impairments in all areas of life.PMID:38685705 | DOI:10.1080/17483107.2024.2344802 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation.

Single-case experimental design intervention for inappropriate sexualised behaviour in adolescent traumatic brain injury
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows the promising impact on behaviour of introducing the PBS intervention within the home and school settings to support positive clinical change evidenced in the reduction in target behaviours and subjective response for caregivers.PMID:38688476 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2338188 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

The Impact of Light Touch and Pin Prick on Functional Outcomes in Patients with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
We examined patients' responses to a light touch (LT) and pin prick (PP) at admission and the response data's usefulness as predictors of functional outcomes (i.e., ability to perform activities of daily living) at discharge. This exploratory observational study used data from the Japanese National Spinal Cord Injury Database (SCI-J). Data from 3,676 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted for an SCI between 1997 and 2020 were analyzed. The motor score of the Functional Independence Measure (mFIM) at discharge was used as an index of functional outcome. A multiple regression analysis revealed that the mFI...

Occupational Risk for Coronary Artery Disease in Shift Workers - A Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS: The evidence-based results underscore the increased risk of CAD in SWs and are sufficient for proposing guidelines aimed at reducing the risk of CAD in SWs and at managing people with CAD in return to work characterized by disrupted circadian rhythms.PMID:38686577 | DOI:10.23749/mdl.v115i2.15532 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Microwave ablation combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty for treating painful non-small cell lung cancer with spinal metastases under real-time temperature monitoring
CONCLUSIONS: MWA combined with PVP can significantly relieve pain and improve patients' quality of life, which implied this is an effective treatment option for painful NSCLC with spinal metastases. Additionally, its efficacy should be further verified through the mid- and long-term studies.PMID:38687923 | DOI:10.4103/jcrt.jcrt_1074_23 (Source: Cell Research)

Comorbid Word Reading and Mathematics Computation Difficulty at Start of First Grade
J Learn Disabil. 2024 Apr 30:222194241248188. doi: 10.1177/00222194241248188. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this analysis was to describe cognitive processes associated with comorbid difficulty between word reading (WR) and mathematics computation (MC) at the start of first grade among children selected for WR and MC delays. A sample of 234 children (mean age 6.50 years, SD = 0.31) was assessed on WR, MC, core cognitive processes (phonological processing, rapid automatized naming, verbal counting [VC]), and domain-general cognitive processes (working memory, oral language, nonverbal reasoning, attentive beha...

Targeting pyroptosis to treat ischemic stroke: From molecular pathways to treatment strategy
Int Immunopharmacol. 2024 Apr 29;133:112168. doi: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112168. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke is the primary reason for human disability and death, but the available treatment options are limited. Hence, it is imperative to explore novel and efficient therapies. In recent years, pyroptosis (a pro-inflammatory cell death characterized by inflammation) has emerged as an important pathological mechanism in ischemic stroke that can cause cell death through plasma membrane rupture and release of inflammatory cytokines. Pyroptosis is closely associated with inflammation, which exacerbates the infl...

The effect of graded activity and pain education after lumbar spinal fusion on sedentary behavior 3 and 12 months post-surgery: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Compared with usual care, GAPE had no effect on short-term changes in sedentary behaviour but GAPE had a statistically, but possibly not clinically effect on sedentary behaviour 12 months after LSF. Further, the behavioural intervention was safe to perform.PMID:38685291 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2024.04.005 (Source: Health Physics)

Preoperative handgrip strength can predict early postoperative shoulder function in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
CONCLUSIONS: Higher baseline grip strength predicts more favorable postoperative shoulder function following ARCR. A preoperative grip strength test in orthopedic clinics may serve as a predictor for postoperative shoulder functional recovery in patients undergoing ARCR.PMID:38689328 | DOI:10.1186/s13018-024-04750-8 (Source: Hand Surgery)
