OBJECTIVE: To examine the perioperative, postoperative, and long-term outcomes of fenestrated/branched endovascular aneurysm repair (F/BEVAR) in octogenarians compared to nonoctogenarians. METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Vascular Quality Improvement database, which prospectively captures information on patients who undergo vascular surgery across 1021 academic and community hospitals in North America. All patients who underwent F/BEVAR endovascular aortic repair from 2012 to 2022, were included...

BACKGROUND: Kinesiophobia could act as a significant barrier against physical activity following cardiac procedures worsening cardiovascular health problems and potentially leading to conditions like hospital-acquired anxiety and depression among patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nurses are the vanguard health care team who can aid patients in taking proactive steps to overcome fear of movement following cardiac procedures. AIM: The overarching aim is to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia, anxiety and depression, and patients' perception of nursing care...

After discharge of premature infants with complex care needs from the neonatal intensive care unit, a care gap arises due to the transition from inpatient to outpatient care. Consequences can be rehospitalization, revolving door effects, and high costs. Therefore, following hospitalization or inpatient rehabilitation, the patient is intended to transition to sociomedical aftercare. The legal basis for this is formed by § 43 paragraph 2 of the Fifth Book of the German Social Code (SGB V)...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, presents primarily with respiratory symptoms. However, children with COVID-19 are usually asymptomatic or mild acute symptoms and also neurological manifestations have also been observed. We report the case of a 7-year-old girl who presented with high fever and altered mental status, leading to a diagnosis of COVID-19 and acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE). The patient received intensive medical care in the intensive care unit and subsequently underwent rehabilitation programs due to neurological functional sequelae...

BACKGROUND: Intensive care unit (ICU) survivors face functional limitations due to ICU-acquired weakness. Arm cycle ergometry (ACE) introduced in the ICU may improve physical function. To our knowledge, there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of ACE and physical function outcomes in critically ill patients. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this systematic review was to examine the impact of ICU-based ACE on physical function, safety, and other clinical outcomes...

Primary lymphoedema, axillary web syndrome (AWS) and yellow nail syndrome may be related. Mr B is a 66-year-old gentleman with genital lymphoedema and lymphoedema of all four extremities. In 2023, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and also underwent cardiac surgery. In November 2023, he completed an inpatient rehabilitation at the Földi clinic in Germany, where he received intensive treatment for his lymphoedema and was also diagnosed with bilateral AWS. The presence of AWS in a patient with primary lymphoedema and no history of axillary surgery is unique...

BACKGROUND: People receiving hemodialysis experience high symptom burden that contributes to low functional status and poor health-related quality of life. Management of symptoms is a priority for individuals receiving hemodialysis but limited effective treatments exist. There is emerging evidence that exercise programming can improve several common dialysis-related symptoms. OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of an exercise rehabilitation program on symptom burden in individuals receiving maintenance hemodialysis...

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the long-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and physical function of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) survivors diagnosed with intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW). The correlation between muscle weakness at ICU discharge and HRQOL was assessed. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU at Hyogo Medical University Hospital between January 2021 and November 2021. The HRQOL was evaluated using the SF-36 questionnaire, and physical function, including muscle strength assessed by the Medical Research Council Sum Score (MRC-SS), grip strength, and the 6-min walk distance (6MWD), were assessed 18 months after the onset...

Assessing functional motor changes and their relationship to discharge needs in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) population is difficult given challenges quantifying small functional gains with current tools. Therefore, we compared the Physical Abilities and Mobility Scale (PAMS) to the Functional Status Scale (FSS) in PICU patients to assess correlation and differences and association with discharge needs. This study was a retrospective chart review of all patients (2-18 years old) admitted to the PICU and cardiac PICU for over 9 months who received early mobility services, including PAMS and FSS scoring...

Pneumonia is an infection that causes inflammation in the air sacs of the lungs. Coronary artery disease is a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart. This obstruction restricts blood flow, resulting in chest pain (angina) and, in extreme cases, heart attacks. An important part of successfully treating diseases like peripheral artery disease and coronary artery disease is balloon angioplasty, a commonly used medical procedure for treating narrowed or clogged arteries...

The ganglio-capsular region consists of the basal ganglia nuclei (caudate nucleus and lentiform nucleus), thalamus, and internal capsule. A disorder of the ganglio-capsular region typically presents with movement disturbance and cognitive impairment. This report presents the case of a 52-year-old male who was diagnosed with acute non-hemorrhagic infarct in the right parietal-occipital-temporal region predominantly involving the cortex and in the right ganglio-capsular region. The patient exhibited typical symptoms, which include impaired reflexes, decreased strength, reduced range of motion, and tone abnormalities...

Structures for the care of relatives after a stay on the intensive care unit are present in principle, but no systematic interfaces between the different types of care and the care sectors exists. Therefore, in a first step, the needs of relatives during intensive care treatment should be continuously assessed and addressed as early as possible. Furthermore, proactive provision of information regarding aftercare services is necessary throughout the entire course of hospitalization and rehabilitation, but also in the phase of general practitioner care...

The internal capsule (IC) is a vital brain structure housing descending and ascending fiber tracts, with traditional assumptions about the corticobulbar and corticospinal tracts descending through the genu and anterior third of the posterior limb of internal capsule (PLIC), respectively. However, observations of IC infarctions reveal that symptoms often deviate from the expected fiber pattern, prompting a deeper exploration of these complexities. The posterior limb of the IC receives its blood supply from the lenticulostriate branches of the middle cerebral artery and the anterior choroidal artery (AChA)...

White cord syndrome is a rare entity, as there are very few cases described in the current literature. Postoperative MRI examination reveals cord intrinsic changes, including edema and ischemia. It is also described as a reperfusion injury of the spinal cord. This report depicts a rare case of "white cord syndrome" with tetraplegia after posterior laminectomy and fusion of the cervical spine in a patient with Klippel-Feil syndrome. A 33-year-old male patient with Klippel-Feil syndrome presented to our department with cervical myelopathy, claudication, deteriorating neurological status, imbalance, and lower limb spasticity...

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) characterized by the invasion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It triggers an intense inflammatory response, leading to neurological complications if not promptly and adequately managed. TBM often precipitates muscle weakness, neurological deficits, respiratory challenges, swallowing difficulties, joint contractures, and pain. Physiotherapy intervention is essential in treating these problems by personalized treatment strategies and treatment plans to enhance muscle strength, motor control, coordination, and overall mobility...
