BACKGROUND: Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS; also known as "long COVID") is a relatively novel disease comprising physical, psychological, and cognitive complaints persisting several weeks to months after acute infection with SARS-CoV-2. Approximately 10% of patients with COVID-19 are affected by long-term symptoms. However, effective treatment strategies are lacking. The ErgoLoCo (Occupational Therapy [Ergotherapie] for Long COVID) study was designed to develop and evaluate a novel occupational therapy (OT) concept of online delivery of therapy for long COVID...

Carbon monoxide poisoning remains a leading cause of accidental poisoning worldwide (both at home and at work), and it is also a cause of suicidal poisoning. Such poisoning can arise following prolonged exposure to low levels of CO or following brief exposure to high concentrations of the gas. In fact, despite exposure limits, high safety standards, and the availability of CO alarms, nearly 50,000 people in the United States visit the emergency department each year due to poisoning. Additionally, CO poisoning in the United States causes up to 500 deaths each year...

BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer (BC) is a common malignancy in Europe and in North America. Among BC, muscle-invasive bladder cancers (MIBC) are distinguished, as they require aggressive treatment due to their spreading potential and the poor prognosis. Despite its clinical relevance, little information on MIBC in a general population setting is available. This study aims to report practice patterns and survival outcomes for MIBC patients in a general population setting. METHODS: MIBC among BC incident in 2011 and 2012 recorded in a French population-based cancer registry (810,000 inhabitants) were included in the study...

Trichloroethylene (TCE), a widely distributed environmental chemical contaminant, is extensively dispersed throughout the environment. Individuals who are exposed to TCE may manifest occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT). Renal impairment typically manifests in the initial phase of OMDT and is intricately linked to the disease progression and patient outcomes. Although recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α receptor II fusion protein (rh TNFR:Fc) has been employed in the clinical management of OMDT, there was no substantial improvement in renal function observed in patients following one week of treatment...

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects about 5% of the world's population and generates high health and social costs. Proper management of the disease requires a correct diagnosis, based on objective measures of functional impairment, as well as symptom control and assessment of the future risk of exacerbations.It has been estimated that 18% of asthma patients in Western Europe have severe asthma and approximately 50% of them have poor control. The severity of asthma is established based on the minimum maintenance treatment needs to achieve control...

INTRODUCTION: Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and incomplete paralysis may experience muscle immobilization due to functional impairment of agonist and antagonist muscles. This can induce spasticity and pain, with the risk of contracture increasing as the period of immobilization increases. This could be aggravated by pain, which interferes with rehabilitation. There is no established treatment for pain and joint contractures caused by acute SCI. Botulinum therapy plays a role in relieving muscle tension...
