The purpose of this clinical report was to describe the use of a piezographic impression associated with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) for teeth set-up and of digital tools for neuro-musculo-kinetic analyses. An edentulous patient with hemiglossectomy and heavily resorbed mandible consulted for complete denture rehabilitation to improve their masticatory function and speech. Master casts, wax rims and piezographic impression were scanned for digital prosthetic work. Two digital try-ins were performed to respect the neutral zone: try-in 1 with posterior crossbite and try-in 2 without crossbite...

REVIEW
Tanya Chandra, Rohit Aggarwal
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are autoimmune disorders characterized by symmetric proximal muscle weakness and chronic inflammation, with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The current standard of care includes traditional immunosuppressive pharmacotherapies; however, some patients cannot tolerate or do not adequately respond to these therapies, highlighting the need for alternative treatments for refractory disease. Acthar® Gel (repository corticotropin injection) is a naturally sourced mixture of adrenocorticotropic hormone analogs and other pituitary peptides that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration since 1952 for use in patients with two subgroups of IIMs, dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM)...

K Jones, M R Backhouse, J Bruce
BACKGROUND: Offloading devices improve healing of diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFUs) but they can limit mobilisation. Rehabilitation during or after removal of these devices may promote physical activity in a population at risk of poor health outcomes for which inactivity is a reversible risk factor. METHODS: This systematic review examined the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions to promote physical activity during and/or after wearing an offloading device to treat diabetes-related foot ulcers...

STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a pathological condition that provokes the loss of one or more body functions due to an injury to the spinal cord as a result of trauma or disease. Hydrotherapy plays a key role in the rehabilitation of neurological patients due to the properties of water environments. OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of hydrotherapy in patients who suffer from SCIs. METHODS: We searched 5 different databases: CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and PEDro for studies to include...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Jiacheng Wu, Zhongyi Wang, Na Zhang, Bo Dong, Haiyang Yu
A clinical and laboratory workflow for the digital design and fabrication of zirconia crowns and polyetheretherketone removable partial dentures for complete arch rehabilitation is described. The definitive crowns and polyetheretherketone framework can be delivered simultaneously because of the digital design and milling fabrication with retentive areas, guide planes, and rest seats in high-translucency zirconia crowns. The workflow helps simplify clinical and laboratory procedures and reduces patient visits and chairside time...

Intensive interdisciplinary pain treatments (IIPT) have been developed to treat youth with unmanaged chronic pain and functional disability. Dysregulation of metabolites gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate are thought to play a role in the chronification of pain due to imbalances in inhibition and excitation in adults. Using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), we investigated the effect of IIPT on GABA and Glx (glutamate + glutamine) in 2 pain-related brain regions: the left posterior insula (LPI) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)...

BACKGROUND: Exoskeletons have become an important tool to help patients with upper extremity motor dysfunction in rehabilitation training and life assistance. In the study of the upper limb exoskeleton, the human glenohumeral joint will produce accompanying movement during the movement of the shoulder joint. This phenomenon causes a positional deviation between the shoulder joint and the exoskeleton, which affects the accuracy of exoskeleton-assisted human movement and the wearing comfort...

Over the past several decades, the science of restorative/reconstructive dentistry and orthodontics has evolved tremendously, following sound principles passed down from robust literature and scientific rationale. These principles have been solid and instrumental in enhancing dentistry, from a single tooth restoration to complex full-mouth rehabilitations. However, it must be noted that some of the principles and philosophies followed over these decades have been questioned based on the advances in science, technology, and evidence-based medicine...

The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) has been selected as sentinel species by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) descriptor 10 in relation to marine litter. In this, and other protected species, there is a need to develop conservative pollution biomarkers equally informative of chemical exposures to those traditionally carried out in metabolic organs, such as the liver. With this aim, plasma from turtles undergoing rehabilitation at the Fundació Oceanogràfic rescue centre (Arca del Mar) were selected and tested for B-esterase measurements...

BACKGROUND: With the rapid development of the metaverse and the problem of non-attendance in traditional rehabilitation, virtual reality in telerehabilitation has become increasingly vital in modern medicine. However, research on determining predictors that influence the public's behavioral intention to adopt VR-based telerehabilitation has not been extensively studied.

BACKGROUND: Understanding individual limb contributions to standing postural control is valuable when evaluating populations with asymmetric function (e.g., stroke, amputations). We propose a method of quantifying three contributions to controlling the net anteroposterior center of pressure (CoP) during quiet standing: CoP moving under left and right limbs and weight shifting between the two limbs. RESEARCH QUESTION: Can these contributions to standing postural control be quantified from CoP trajectories in neurotypical adults? METHODS: Instantaneous contributions can be negative or larger than one, and integrated contributions sum to equal one...

AIM: To test the contributions of self-efficacy, resilience, social support, and negative moods (i.e., anxiety, depression) to patient activation among persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). METHODS: One hundred and twenty-two participants with SCI were recruited from the spinal surgery department at a large general hospital. During the period before discharge after surgery, standardized self-assessment questionnaires were used to collect data on patient activation, self-efficacy, resilience, social support, anxiety, depression, demographics (age, gender, education, marital status), and disease-related information (etiologies, level of injury, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale score)...

The primary goal of the rehabilitation services offered to patients with lower limb burns is to enhance gait function. Exercise on a treadmill and conventional overground gait training are the two most widespread gait-training methods. Numerous studies have been published in the literature that claim treadmill training helps people walk more easily. Therefore, it would be intriguing to investigate whether treadmill gait training affects the progress made by post-lower limb burn patients compared to traditional overground gait training...

BACKGROUND: Traditional cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is effective in improving physical performance and prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI). Anyway, it is not consistently recommended to older adults, and its attendance rate is low. Previous studies suggested that alternative, early and tailored exercise interventions are feasible and effective in improving physical performance in older MI patients. Anyway, the demonstration that they are associated also with a significant reduction of hard endpoints is lacking...
