Late-onset neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder mimicking stroke in an elderly Chinese man: Case report.
Conclusion: Even in the elderly, a diagnosis of NMOSD should be considered for patients with myelitis, especially those with longitudinally extensive spinal cord involvement. Testing for aquaporin 4 antibody in this scenario is recommended for further confirmation. Once diagnosed, careful consideration of treatment options and close monitoring of side effects are important to improve prognosis in elderly patients.

Wheelchair backs that support the spinal curves: Assessing postural and functional changes.
Conclusions: This pilot study demonstrated that a wheelchair back, which supports the seated spinal curves improves upright posture, functional reach, and wheelchair propulsion skills. Further research is necessary to demonstrate statistical findings as well as to assess back height and lateral support. PMID: 32406808 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Systematic overviews of partnership principles and strategies identified from health research about spinal cord injury and related health conditions: A scoping review
CONCLUSION: We provided systematic overviews of principles and strategies for research partnerships. These could be used by researchers and research users who want to work in partnership to plan, conduct and/or disseminate their SCI research. The findings informed the development of the new SCI Integrated Knowledge Translation Guiding Principles (www.iktprinciples.com) and will support the implementation of these Principles within the SCI research system.PMID:35262473 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2022.2033578
