Dysphagia is a constant complication of subtotal reconstructive laryngectomy, due to modifications in the anatomy and in sensitivity of the larynx and pharynx. The reduced sphincteric activity of the larynx can enhance aspiration with a higher risk of pneumonia. In our opinion, the presence of the tracheotomy tube in the first weeks after surgery interferes with proper mobility of the laryngo-t...

Shoulder replacement is the third most common joint replacement worldwide following hip and knee replacements. Compared with hip and knee the rehabilitation for shoulder prosthesis is discussed controversially and depends strongly on the precepts of the surgeon. The objective of this paper is to determine the current standard of care of rehabilitation following shoulder arthroplasty based on a ...

Rehabilitative dentistry has made enormous progress in recent years, not only due to the advent of new implant-prosthetic methods, but also thanks information technologies that support doctor. This study aims present a implant protocol involves application bioengineering methods. With finite element analysis, it is possible evaluate distribution forces fixture and rehabilitation on each patient...

OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the functional outcomes of patients undergoing an early rehabilitation protocol for critically ill patients from admission to discharge from the intensive care unit. METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted that included 463 adult patients with clinical and/or surgical diagnosis undergoing an early rehabilitation protocol. The overall muscle strength...

CONTEXT Although lateral ankle sprains are common in athletes and can lead to chronic ankle instability (CAI), strength-training rehabilitation protocols may improve the deficits often associated with CAI. OBJECTIVE To determine whether strength-training protocols affect strength, dynamic balance, functional performance, and perceived instability in individuals with CAI. DESIGN Randomized c...

BACKGROUND Pilot and feasibility work is conducted to evaluate the operational feasibility and acceptability of the intervention itself and the feasibility and acceptability of a trials' protocol design. The Cardiac Rehabilitation In Bowel cancer (CRIB) study was a pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) of cardiac rehabilitation versus usual care (no rehabilitation) for post-surgical colorecta...

background: recently different studies suggested that discontinuation of gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue (gnrha) at beginning of ovarian stimulation (improvement of ovarian response to gonadotrophins) may have some benefit to poor responder patients in invitro fertilization (ivf) cycles. objective:the efficacy of gnrha stop protocol in poor responder patients in ivf cycles was assessed...

objective: this study was conducted to compare the results of fixed versus flexible gnrh antagonist protocols in controlled ovarian stimulation for intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) in patients with pcos. materials and methods: a randomized clinical trial was performed on 100 pcos women, who were admitted to a tertiary infertility clinic and were candidate for ivf/icsi. they were divided...
