Impact of Acute Lumbar Disk Herniation on Sexual Function in Male Patients
CONCLUSIONS: LDH resulted in sexual dysfunction in up to 77% of patients, which significantly improved after surgery. By 6 weeks, the majority had resumed sexual activity without undue discomfort. Therefore, this study supports counseling for patients with LDH about sexual function.PMID:34784704 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2021.0083

Family caregiving research: Reflecting on the past to inform the future
CONCLUSIONS: Family caregivers make an important contribution to the health and wellbeing of individuals with spinal and other neurological conditions. Ultimately, system changes, like family centered care, may be best suited to meet the complex needs of this heterogeneous group of caregivers.PMID:34779725 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2021.1970883

Comparing preference related to comfort in torque-matched muscle contractions between two different types of functional electrical stimulation pulses in able-bodied participants
CONCLUSION: Reducing discomfort during FES may help in generating stronger and more clinically useful contractions, increasing accessibility of FES therapy to include individuals with low tolerance to FES.PMID:34779723 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2021.1970882

Rate of torque development of paretic lower limb is an excellent predictor of walking speed in chronic stroke individuals
Peak torque and rate of torque development from knee extensors are adequate predictors of walking speed in stroke survivors. Adjusting predictive models for assistive device use and lower limb motor function increases predictive capacity. These findings may have repercussions for assessing chronic stroke individuals and developing treatment strategies.

Early and ultra-early surgical decompression for acute spinal cord injury: bracing for the winds of change
ConclusionThis is a call for hospital systems to swiftly restructure spinal services in order to meet the need for early, and possibly ultra-early, spinal decompression in aSCI cases in the near future.

Gait speed and spasticity are independently associated with estimated failure load in the distal tibia after stroke: an HR-pQCT study
ConclusionThe paretic distal tibia showed more compromised vBMD, cortical area, cortical thickness, and estimated failure load than the non-paretic tibia. Gait speed and spasticity were independently associated with estimated failure load. As treatment programs focusing on these potentially modifiable stroke-related impairments are feasible to administer, future studies are needed to determine the efficacy of such intervention strategies for improving bone strength in individuals with chronic stroke.

Debate Update: Surgery After 48 Hours of Admission for Geriatric Hip Fracture Patients Is Associated With Increase in Mortality and Complication Rate: A Study of 27,058 Patients Using the National Trauma Data Bank
Objective: To determine the association between surgical timing and short-term morbidity and mortality in elderly patients who sustain hip fractures using a national trauma database (OTA/AO 31A1-3, 31B1-3). Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Level I–IV trauma centers in the United States. Patients/Participants: All patients ≥65 years of age who underwent surgery for hip fracture from 2011 to 2013. Intervention: Time to surgery of 48 hours from admission. Main outcome measurements: Primary outcome was mortality by hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes were complications ...
