Mulligan Manipulation Combined with Mckenzie Mechanics Method in Treating 43 Cases of Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy by Fuchun WU, Jie CHEN, Wei XU, Guoqing MO

“…Some measurements including pain visual analog scale (VAS), clinical assessment scale for cervical spondylosis (CASCS), the MOS Item Short From Health Survey (SF-36) were recorded to evaluate the curative effects before and after the treatment.Results:The VAS scores in the two groups were decreased after the treatment (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), and the decreasing amplitude of treatment group was higher significantly than that of the control group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); the scores of CASCS and SF-36 in the two groups were increased after the treatment (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), and the increasing amplitude of treatment group was higher significantly than that of the control group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); there were significant differences in cure rate and total effective rate between the two groups (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01).Conclusion:On the basis of cervical traction and ultrashort wave therapy, Mulligan manipulation combined with Mckenzie function training has positive effects on the improvement of the symptoms, signs and functional status and the quality of life for CSR patients.…”

An increase in flow-diverter oversizing values as an independent risk factor for developing more severe in-stent stenosis. A retrospective single-center study based on flow diversi... by Georgi Vladev, Georgi Vladev, Alexander Sirakov, Alexander Sirakov, Svetozar Matanov, Kristina Sirakova, Kristian Ninov, Stanimir Sirakov, Stanimir Sirakov

“…IntroductionIn the past decade, flow diverters (FDs) have increasingly been used to treat cerebral aneurysms with unfavorable morphology in which other endovascular techniques fall short of being as effective. In-stent stenosis (ISS) is one of the most puzzling and frequent risks of flow diversion therapy observed on follow-ups. …”

Exploring the most important factors related to self-perceived health among older men in Sweden: a cross-sectional study using machine learning by David C Currow, Magnus Per Ekström, Max Olsson

“…Objective To evaluate which factors are the most strongly related to self-perceived health among older men and describe the shape of the association between the related factors and self-perceived health using machine learning.Design and setting This is a cross-sectional study within the population-based VAScular and Chronic Obstructive Lung disease study (VASCOL) conducted in southern Sweden in 2019.Participants A total of 475 older men aged 73 years from the VASCOL dataset.Measures Self-perceived health was measured using the first item of the Short Form 12. An extreme gradient-boosting model was trained to classify self-perceived health as better (rated: excellent or very good) or worse (rated: fair or poor) using self-reported data on 19 prevalent physician-diagnosed health conditions, intensity of 9 symptoms and 9 demographic and lifestyle factors. …”
