Hemiplegic shoulder pain, a combined approach with suprascapular nerve block and intra-articular corticosteroid injections: a case series by Matthieu Gahier, Matthieu Gahier, Andy Lecler, Guillaume Gadbled, Paul Arnolfo, Raphael Gross, Raphael Gross

“…A combined approach, involving suprascapular nerve block and intra-articular corticosteroid injection, has been proposed for HSP and capsulitis, yet evidence remains limited.ObjectiveThis study presents the results (efficacy and safety) of this combined approach to alleviate pain and improve passive range of motion (PROM).MethodsA retrospective, multicenter observational study (36 patients).ResultsAt 1 month, the mean pain intensity (visual analogue scale VAS) significantly decreased from 6.5 ± 1.5 at baseline to 1.9 ± 2.1, and PROM showed significant improvement across all three planes (mean PROM gains: 28.4° in abduction, 29.2° in flexion, and 13.4° in external rotation). …”

Better Skeleton Better Readability: Scene Text Image Super-Resolution via Skeleton-Aware Diffusion Model by Shrey Singh, Prateek Keserwani, Partha Pratim Roy, Rajkumar Saini

“…Existing diffusion-based approaches for STISR primarily rely on text-prior information but often overlook the importance of explicitly modeling the visual structure of the text. In this paper, we propose a novel Skeleton-Aware Diffusion Method (SADM) for STISR, which introduces text skeletons as structural guidance to the diffusion process. …”

Optical Correction of Keratoconus with a Scleral Gas-Permeable Lenses by A. V. Myagkov, Yu. B. Slonimskiy, E. V. Belousova, T. S. Mitichkina, L. R. Bunyatova

“…Advanced medical equipment for topographic mapping and measuring the cornea makes it much easier for ophthalmologists to diagnose keratoconus and choose more effective treatment methods: crosslinking or surgical treatment. Later it allows to stabilize keratoconus, but does not provide high visual acuity due to the induction of optical aberrations, including high order optical aberrations. …”
