Resistant hypertension (RH) is a severe form of hypertension associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Although true RH affects less than 10% of the patients receiving antihypertensive therapy, the absolute number is high and continues to increase. The workup of these patients requires screening for secondary hypertension and pseudoresistance, including poor adherence to prescribed medicines and the white-coat phenomenon. The treatment of RH consists of lifestyle modifications and pharmacological therapies...

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignancies with high mortality, posing a great threat to both human physical and mental health. With the advancement of scientific research, a variety of cancer therapies have been used for OSCC treatment. However, the prognosis of OSCC shows no significant improvement. Metformin has been recognized as the first-line drug for the treatment of diabetes, and recent studies have shown that metformin has a remarkable suppressive effect on tumor progression...

INTRODUCTION: Sustained-release intraocular implants provide a therapeutic option for open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) patients who are non-compliant with eyedrops. Currently, there are no published patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures that assess treatment satisfaction with intraocular implants. To address this gap, a new PRO instrument, the Allergan Satisfaction with Treatment Experience Questionnaire (ASTEQ), has been developed in accordance with Food and Drug Administration guidance...

Achilles tendon pathologies are a frequent problem in the clinical practice. A distinction must be made between insertional and noninsertional tendinopathies. In addition to intrinsic risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus, there are also extrinsic risk factors, such as overuse and running. Sonography, X‑ray imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are established imaging methods, depending on the question. The primary treatment includes a conservative approach. First-line treatment includes administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), physical rest and the use of assistive devices...

BACKGROUND: Non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) refers to a complex condition that involves structural, biomechanical, cognitive, psychological, social, and lifestyle issues. First-line therapies include physical therapy and exercise, as well as psychological follow-up and pain medication. AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a 6-week center-based program using a multi-axis motorized platform (HUBER) connected with force sensors, that allows the patients to execute isometric exercises on the spine flexion-to-extension ratio at 60 and 120°/s, pain, trunk flexibility, and disability...

To achieve the objective of this study, we conducted a narrative review on physical therapeutic modalities applied to prevent functional losses associated with human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) infections to promote health education and viable and accessible alternatives in the development of health education technology adapted to the home environment. This study comprised a qualitative stage of theoretical development to construct a digital booklet with an observational basis based on studies that reiterate themes about educational technologies as tools to conduct a home protocol of guided exercises without the direct supervision of professional physical therapists...

BACKGROUND: Due to the growing gap between the demand and supply of therapeutic services for people suffering from depression, with this study, we are investigating the effectiveness and factors of influence of new approaches in group treatments for depression. Two previous studies have already identified bouldering psychotherapy (BPT) as an effective option. It combines psychotherapeutic interventions with action- and body-oriented bouldering exercises. Mental model therapy (MMT) is a new cognitive-behavioral approach for treating depression...

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders affecting individuals already from birth. It enormously impacts an individual's physical and emotional life and can bring many challenges to the individual, caregivers, and families. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate interventions that could improve various symptoms in children with cerebral palsy. Our systematic review intends to assess the effect of different exercise and physical therapy interventions in children with cerebral palsy. We used three databases for our article search: PubMed, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), and PubMed Central (PMC)...

PURPOSE: There is no consensus on how age and expectations influence planning for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study developed and evaluated a new expectation questionnaire and assessed the relationship between preoperative expectations and patient characteristics. METHOD: The questionnaire evaluated expectations for mobility, pain, participation, and rate of recovery after surgery. Fifty-five participants completed a 6-minute walk test and expectation questionnaire prior to TKA; 17 participants repeated the questionnaire one week later for reliability testing...

PURPOSE: Force plates can be used to monitor landing asymmetries during rehabilitation, but they are not widely available. Accelerometer-based wearable technology may be a more feasible solution. The purpose of this article was to determine the agreement between impact accelerations measured with force plates and accelerometer-derived measures of (1) centre of mass (COM) acceleration and (2) tibial acceleration asymmetries during bilateral landings. METHOD: Participants completed three countermovement jumps (CMJ) and three squat jumps (SJ) on dual force plates with triaxial accelerometers attached to each tibia and lower back, near the COM...

PURPOSE: While current rehabilitation practice for improving arm and hand function relies on physical/occupational therapy, a growing body of research evaluates the effects of technology-enhanced rehabilitation. We review interventions that combine a brain-computer interface (BCI) with electrical stimulation (ES) for upper limb movement rehabilitation to summarize the evidence on (1) populations of study participants, (2) BCI-ES interventions, and (3) the BCI-ES systems. METHOD: After searching seven databases, two reviewers identified 23 eligible studies...

PURPOSE: To identify patient education, interventions, and strategies to optimize the management of subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) in physical therapy, based on the experiential knowledge of patient-partners and caregivers involved in the rehabilitation of this condition. METHOD: Using a semi-deductive approach building on the evidence extracted from the literature, an expert consultation using focus groups was conducted. The experts were physical therapists ( n = 5) and an occupational therapist with extensive clinical experience, as well as a patient-partner...
