Digital rectal examination (DRE) is a simple clinical method to diagnose anorectal disorders. High-resolution antorectal manometry (HRAM) based on spatiotemporal plot expected promote improved diagnostic accuracy. However, there are no reports comparing the effectiveness of DRE and HRAM. The aim our study was therefore evaluate value compared with HRAM.A total 309 consecutive patients chronic constipation (n=268) or fecal incontinence (n=41) who underwent standardized DRE, HRAM, balloon...
Gastric and colonic alpha-synuclein immunoreactivity has been reported in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, enteric also healthy individuals.We aimed to investigate the utility of from gastric mucosal tissues obtained by routine endoscopy detect PD, correlate pathological burden motor nonmotor features PD.We recruited 104 study subjects, consisting 38 13 probable multiple system atrophy (MSA), 53 controls. endoscopic gastroduodenoscopy colonoscopy were assessed using...
α-Synucleinopathy in the brain is neuropathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, functional impact α-synucleinopathy enteric nervous system remains unknown. We aim to evaluate association between gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction and α-synuclein (αSYN) pathology stomach colon PD patients controls, as well investigate αSYN GI tract future risk.A total 35 52 neurologically intact subjects were enrolled this study. Endoscopic biopsies performed, then immunohistochemical...
Biofeedback therapy is an instrument-based learning process centered on operant conditioning. The goal of biofeedback in defecatory disorders to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, retrain rectal sensation and coordinate muscles during evacuation. therapy, a broader sense, includes education, counseling, diaphragmatic muscle training as well exercise, sensory, coordination training. For dyssynergic defecation, well-known useful treatment option that had response rates approximately 70-80%...
Abstract Background Anorectal manometry with simulated evacuation ( SE ) has limited applicability in predicting balloon expulsion BE test results. The newly developed high‐resolution anorectal HRAM technique can yield spatiotemporal plots three‐dimensional pressurization. We aimed to define new parameters based on integrated pressurized volume IPV for the results asymptomatic normal individuals. Methods Fifty‐four healthy individuals were prospectively enrolled. tests performed using 50 mL...
<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> Many previous studies, mostly performed in Western countries, on the effects of lifestyle factors Parkinson disease (PD) used baseline characteristics without directly accounting for changes covariate values over time. The objective this study was to evaluate association repeatedly measured with PD risk a Korean population. <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted nationwide population-based cohort study. Among 512,836 Koreans national health checkup database, we...
Objectives To compare the efficacy of a conventional fluoroscopy‐guided epidural nerve block and an ultrasound (US)‐guided intercostal in patients with thoracic herpes zoster (HZ). Methods This work was comparative study 38 HZ pain chest wall herpetic eruption, aged 18 years or older, intensity 5 greater on numeric rating scale (NRS) for less than 1‐month duration. Patients were consecutively enrolled assigned to 2 groups which intervention either US‐guided approach addition 5‐mL mix 2.5 mg...
Impairment of upper extremity function is a common sequelae stroke. It has been reported that modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) could prove to be effective.To investigate the relationship between intensity rehabilitation such as treatment and constraining time, functional outcome for paretic in stroke patients through mCIMT.We conducted an observational prospective study 31 with hemiplegia subacute or chronic The mCIMT was performed two weeks. Rehabilitation time were...
The posture-analyzing and virtual reconstructing device (PAViR) used a Red Green Blue-Depth camera as sensor skeleton reconstruction images were produced. This PAViR quickly analyzed the whole posture from multiple repetitive shots without radiation exposure in clothes provided within seconds. study aims to evaluate reliability when shooting repeatedly assess validity compared parameters of full-body, low-dose X-rays (EOSs) applied diagnostic imaging. As prospective observational study, 100...
Abstract Multiple system atrophy is a rare neurodegenerative disease with poor prognosis. Furthermore, there are no pharmacological or notable rehabilitation strategies available to prevent the worsening of disease. This case presentation assessed outcome feedback facility−assisted balance training in combination physical therapy 61‐year‐old man. The patient participated 30 sessions over 6 weeks for minutes each that involved training. His static and dynamic abilities were improved on Berg...
Traditionally, motor deficits of ipsilesional side, generally considered as the unaffected have been investigated less and influence impairment is unknown. To evaluate association between manual function test (MFT) nonparetic limb poststroke functional outcome. We conducted a retrospective analysis 71 hemiplegic patients with stroke. MFT on both sides was routinely measured at admission 1 month later after by an experienced occupational therapist. The parameters outcome stroke were total...
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to examine degrees the cervical disc degeneration and parameters sagittal balance in plain radiographs, representing lordosis or head posture subjects with posterior neck pain. Methods This a retrospective cross-sectional that analyzed 113 patients pain without radiating kinematic radiographs were obtained at occipito-cervical (O-C2) angle, Cobb’s angles C1-C2, C2-C7, vertical axis (SVA) C1-C7 C2-C7. Cervical evaluated using sum Pfirrmann grades...
Background Prestroke cardiopulmonary fitness (CPF) levels can affect post-stroke respiratory function and functional status, including gait activities of daily living (ADL).Objectives To investigate the prestroke CPF level measured by Jurca prediction index as a predictor outcomes after stroke to evaluate association between estimated stroke.Methods This was prospective observational study involving 71 inpatients with first-time subacute June 2017 July 2019. The VO2max assessed using index,...
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the utility of alpha-synuclein (α-SYN) immunoreactivity from gastric and colonic mucosal tissues obtained by routine endoscopy detect Parkinson's disease (PD), correlate pathological burden α-SYN with motor nonmotor features PD. BACKGROUND: Gastric has been reported in patients However, enteric also healthy individuals. DESIGN/METHODS: recruited 104 study subjects, consisting 38 PD patients, 13 probable multiple system atrophy (MSA) 53 controls. endoscopic...
Radiofrequency energy, such as that used in neuroablation, has been applied various medical and surgical fields.However, no consensus exists regarding neuroablation protocols using radiofrequency.This study aimed to report the effect of a radiofrequency neuroablative technique on spastic foot management patient with stroke present its safety persistence.A 59-year-old man hemiplegic gait by intracerebral hemorrhage had ablation motor nerve branch supplying medial gastrocnemius.The patient's...
