OBJECTIVES Loss of foot sensitivity is a relevant parameter to assess and prevent in several diseases. It is crucial to determine the vibro-tactile sensitivity threshold response to acute conditions to explore innovative monitor tools and interventions to prevent and treat this challenge. The aims were: 1) to analyze the acute effects of a single whole body vibration session (4min-18Hz-4mm) on ...

conclusions instillation of ropivacaine 0.2% (30 ml) within tubeless pcnl surgery does not have a significant effect on postoperative pain relief and improvement of pef within 6 hours after the operation. results we found no difference in the mean pain severity score between the case and control groups 4 hours (p = 0.332) and 6 hours (p = 0.830) after the operation. the mean pef at baseline was...

The present paper aimed to study the effect of pairwise video check feedback (including the observation of external pattern of skill performance and performing the skill simultaneously) on the learning on acquisition and learning of eye-hand coordination skill. Computer skill of eye-hand coordination skill was the tool used in this study. 24 subjects were randomly selected and equally divided...

Background and Objective: Evidence about the effect of theophylline and gabapentin on post-spinal headache is rare. Therefore, in this study, we compared the effect of gabapentin and theophylline on post-spinal headache after cesarean section. Materials and Methods: We conducted a double-blind randomized clinical trial on 120 pregnant women, who underwent spinal anesthesia due to cesarean sect...

Background Statistical models to predict outcomes after endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke often incorporate baseline (pretreatment) variables only. We assessed the performance of outcome prediction in an iterative fashion using baseline, treatment‐related, and posttreatment variables. Methods Data from ESCAPE‐NA1 (Safety Efficacy Nerinetide [NA‐1] Subjects Undergoing Endovascular T...

Measuring Treatment Effect in Acute Stroke Trials To the Editor: We read with interest Bruno et al’s analysis of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score in the trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment (TOAST). They found the dichotomous variable, NIHSS score 2 at 3 months, to be associated with “very favorable outcome” at 3 months, defined as both Glasgow Outcome Scale of 1...

objectives to compare an out-of-plane interscalene catheter technique to the in-plane technique in a randomized clinical trial. patients and methods eighty-four patients undergoing open shoulder surgery were randomized to either the in-plane or out-of-plane ultrasound-guided continuous interscalene technique. the primary outcome was vas pain rating at 24 hours. secondary outcomes included pain ...

Figure 1. Experimental procedures and results of visual rhythm discrimination training. (A) Schematic of a visual trial from the rhythm discrimination task. In this example, the patterns of the rhythm sequences are different. (B) Depiction of the experimental design. Sessions were completed 24 to 48 hours apart. For all groups, the preand post-test trials contained visual stimuli only. (C) Mean...
