Application of Myofascial Manipulation in the Rehabilitation of Posttraumatic Stiff Elbow by Xu HU, Xia HE, Xu JIN, Baijie XUE, Mingliang JIN, Zhongqi LU, Xiang MOU, Hua YUAN

“…The maximum flexion range (ROM-F), the maximum extend range (ROM-E), total range of motion (ROM-T) and Mayo elbow performance scores (MEPS) were measured before and after 4 weeks'treatment.Results:Compared with before treatment, both groups had significant improvement on ROM-F, ROM-E, ROM-T and MEPS (all <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), and the intervention group had significant improvement (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05) than the control group.Conclusion:Myofascial manipulation might be more effective to improve ROM, functional performance of stiff elbow patients.…”

Electrophysiology Models for End-Stage Renal Disease Maladaptations That Promote Asystole by Ikeotunye Royal Chinyere

“…Many patients with chronic renal impairment experience cardiac comorbidities throughout their lives, and the incidence of electrophysiological demise for patients with terminal renal impairment requiring renal replacement therapy is higher than in patients with normal renal function. Thus, this relationship warrants continued examination, such that the risk of subsequent cardiac complications might eventually be mitigated. …”

Public and patient involvement (PPI) in the design, execution and dissemination of a trial: the BISTRO trial by David Coyle, Paula Ormandy, Nancy Fernandes da Silva, Simon Davies

“…Background For people receiving haemodialysis, a balance has to be struck between removing sufficient but not too much fluid during a treatment session and maintaining any remaining kidney function they might have. In the BISTRO trial, this study sought to establish if getting the balance right might be improved by the additional use of bioimpedance, a device that measures body fluid composition to help decide how much fluid to remove during dialysis. …”
