A clinical trial, NCT06522581, is investigating the use of citicoline as a neuroprotector in neonates with moderate and severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). HIE is a brain injury caused by asphyxia in newborns, resulting in mortality and long-term morbidity. Current treatments are not effective, and therapeutic hypothermia, the only effective neuroprotector, has limited applicability. Citicoline, a new neuroprotector, has shown promise in regenerating neuronal cells and inhibiting the ischemic cascade. The trial aims to explore safe, effective, and accessible neuroprotective therapies, particularly in developing countries. The article also provides a brief overview of a research report on choline, its potential risks, and prevention methods, without expressing any judgments or opinions. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine examined factors associated with discharge to subacute care after surgery for degenerative cervical myelopathy. The study found that patients discharged to a subacute setting were older, more likely to be unmarried, and more likely to have Medicare or Medicaid compared to patients discharged home. Additionally, a posterior surgical approach was associated with discharge to a subacute setting. The findings of this study can help guide discussions about patient expectations for postoperative discharge placement. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing, China, aimed to explore the incidence and influencing factors of subacute and chronic pain in patients returning to the ICU after surgery. The study found that patients returning to the ICU after surgery had a high incidence of postoperative subacute and chronic pain. Coronary artery disease was identified as a risk factor for chronic postoperative pain in these patients. The researchers suggest that perioperative multimodal pain management could improve the pain experience and prognosis of patients during ICU hospitalization. [Extracted from the article]

Despite clear guidance from state public health officials warning against the practice, post‐acute care facilities in Massachusetts continued a pattern of frequently denying admission to patients with opioid use disorder (OUD), a newly published study reports. That these denials continued to occur in a state where the issue had gained the attention of both public health authorities and federal prosecutors suggests it is likely that patients with OUD who need care after a hospitalization face discriminatory practices across the country.

A recent study conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University in China explored the use of the FT4-to-FT3 ratio (FFR) as a potential prognostic marker in patients with subacute combined spinal cord degeneration (SCSD). The study included 144 SCSD patients who underwent diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and were assessed for neurological impairment and clinical prognosis. The researchers found that a higher FFR at admission was associated with a higher likelihood of a poor outcome at 6 months after discharge. The study suggests that the FFR could serve as a unique prognostic marker for SCSD patients. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from Capital Medical University in Beijing, China have conducted a retrospective study to investigate the effectiveness and safety of combined therapy for acute/subacute herpes zoster (HZ) neuralgia. The therapy involved CT-guided paravertebral nerve (PVN) pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and subcutaneous block. The study analyzed 98 medical records and found that the combined therapy resulted in immediate and sustained improvement in pain levels, with effective rates ranging from 74% to 79% at different time points. The therapy also reduced the need for medication and decreased the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). The researchers concluded that this combination therapy could be a valuable treatment option for acute/subacute herpetic neuralgia. [Extracted from the article]

A new report from New York City presents fresh data on arthroplasty, specifically examining the cost-utility of robotic-arm assisted surgery versus manual surgery.

A recent study conducted by researchers from Pomeranian Medical University Szczecin in Poland compared the outcomes of two procedures, provisional extension to induce complete attachment (PETTICOAT) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), in patients with complicated acute and subacute type B aortic dissections. The study found that the PETTICOAT procedure was associated with a lower rate of secondary endovascular reinterventions compared to TEVAR. However, the rate of postoperative renal failure was lower in patients treated with TEVAR. The findings suggest that the PETTICOAT procedure may be beneficial for patients with these types of aortic dissections. [Extracted from the article]

A report from the Robert-Bosch-Hospital in Stuttgart, Germany, discusses the importance of rehabilitation for older individuals after a hip fracture. The report highlights the need for multidisciplinary hospital treatment and subsequent exercise interventions to improve mobility. The study found that small changes in physical capacity, such as gait speed, coincide with larger changes in physical activity, such as the number of steps taken, during the first six months post-fracture. To better understand mobility performance and improve rehabilitation measures, the researchers propose using a novel sensor algorithm to gather more extensive data on patients' real-world mobility. The report provides baseline data on physical capacity measures, sensor-based mobility outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes for hip fracture patients. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai compared the effectiveness of exoskeleton-assisted walking with standard care in subacute non-traumatic brain injury patients.
