The current standard of care for diagnosis severe intellectual disability ( ID ) and epileptic encephalopathy EE results in a diagnostic yield ∼50%. Affected individuals nonetheless undergo multiple clinical evaluations low‐yield laboratory tests often referred to as ‘diagnostic odyssey’. This study was aimed at assessing the utility whole‐exome sequencing WES with undiagnosed forms , feasibility its implementation routine practice by small regional genetic center. We performed cohort 43...
Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) has been described as 'the pandemic after the pandemic' with more than 65 million people worldwide being affected. The enormous range of symptoms makes both diagnosis complex and treatment difficult. In a post-COVID rehabilitation outpatient clinic, 184 patients, mostly non-hospitalized, received comprehensive, interdisciplinary diagnostic assessment fixed follow-up appointments. At baseline, three in four patients reported 10 symptoms, most frequent were fatigue...
A growing number of research studies have explored the potential effects vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on brain physiology as well clinical particularly related to stress and anxiety. However, there currently are limited showing functional changes during different frequencies laterality transcutaneous auricular VNS (TaVNS). In this study, we evaluated whether TaVNS alters connectivity in healthy controls. We hypothesized that would significantly alter areas involved with emotional processing...
Advancement in diagnosis and treatment of various cancer entities led to an increasing incidence brain metastases the last decades. Surgical excision single multiple is one central options beside radiotherapy, radiosurgery chemotherapy. To evaluate benefit surgery with/without whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) influence image guidance for resection, 104 patients were retrospectively evaluated post-operative outcome.Between January 1994 December 1999 150 surgically treated at Department...
Up to 80% of professional musicians are affected by playing-related musculoskeletal disorders, but data regarding the frequency craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) in orchestra is scarce. To evaluate CMD and its relation pain various body regions. A questionnaire-based survey approach assessing symptoms players was adopted. Relative prevalence rates ratios for different instrument groups were estimated. total 408 completed questionnaire (response rate 57%). Playing-related teeth or jaw...
(1) Background: Peripheral, as well central, sensitization have been described in chronic low back pain (cLBP). The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence psychosocial factors on development central sensitization. (2) Methods: This prospective investigated local and peripheral pressure thresholds their dependence risk patients with cLBP receiving inpatient multimodal therapy. Psychosocial were assessed using Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (ÖMPSQ). (3)...
New onset or worsening of a headache disorder substantially contributes to the disease burden post-COVID-19. Its management poses suitable means enhance patients' participation in professional, social, and personal activities. Unfortunately, pathophysiology post-COVID-19 headaches is poorly understood. This study aims investigate role (neuro-) inflammatory mechanisms order guide development anti-inflammatory treatment strategies.
Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) symptoms occur frequently in violin/viola and wind players can be associated with pain the neck, shoulders arm. In current study, effect of oral splint treatment CMD on reducing especially these areas was investigated. Thirty (30) musicians undergoing splints participated this study. They completed a questionnaire that addressed symptoms, localization pain, subjective changes symptoms. Pain shoulder and/or upper extremity most frequent symptom reported by...
Abstract The pandemic of COVID-19 led to restrictions in all kinds music activities. Airborne transmission SARS-CoV-2 requires risk assessment wind instrument playing various situations. Previous studies focused on short-range transmission, whereas long-range has not been assessed. latter knowledge aerosol emission rates from playing. We measured concentrations a hermetically closed chamber 20 m 3 an operating theatre as resulting min standardized (19 flute, 11 oboe, 1 clarinet, trumpet...
The aim of this study was to compare three sensorimotor training forms in patients with chronic low back pain determine their effects on the reduction pain-related impairment and changes posturography. Over two weeks, during multimodal therapy (MMPT) period, six sessions physiotherapy or Galileo® Posturomed® (n = 25 per group) were performed. A significant after intervention phase shown across all groups (time effect: p < 0.001; ηp2 0.415). There no change postural stability 0.666;...
Abstract Treatment modalities of spinal pain patients are discussed diversely, and different multimodal therapy programs have been developed. Purpose the present study was to evaluate outcome effectiveness an inpatient interdisciplinary treatment program. This prospective multicentre clinical trial has performed with from orthopedic hospitals receiving a functional musculoskeletal pathway. Outcome measures were intensity back-specific function (Oswestry Disability Index) before (T1) after...
Introduction A substantial number of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 experience long-term persistent symptoms. First evidence suggests that symptoms develop largely independently disease severity and include, among others, cognitive impairment. For these symptoms, there are currently no validated therapeutic approaches available. Cognitive training interventions a promising approach to counteract Combining concurrent transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may further increase...
(1) Background: COVID-19 is often associated with significant long-term symptoms and disability, i.e., the long/post-COVID syndrome (PCS). Even after presumably mild infections, an increasing number of patients seek medical help for these sequelae, which can affect various organ systems. The pathogenesis PCS not yet understood. Therapy has so far been limited to symptomatic treatment. Greifswald Post COVID Rehabilitation Study (PoCoRe) aims follow deeply phenotype outpatients in long term,...
