Functional Outcomes in Upper Limb Replantation-A Systematic Review.

Functionality after upper limb replantation is a decisive factor when considering the success of the intervention. Therefore, its evaluation is fundamental. The aim of this article was to conduct a systematic review of upper limb functions after replantation or reimplantation, seeking to identify reported functional outcomes as well as the level and mechanism of injury.

Retrospective Study of Lung Cancer: Evolution in 16 Years in the Burgos Region.

: This study investigates the evolution of lung cancer in the population of Burgos over more than a decade, focusing on key variables such as age, gender, histology, and stage of diagnosis. The aim is to understand how incidence rates and patterns have changed over time, especially in terms of early diagnosis. : Retrospective data were collected from the Burgos University Hospital using histological or clinicoradiological methods.

Language-Independent Acoustic Biomarkers for Quantifying Speech Impairment in Huntington's Disease.

Purpose: Changes in voice and speech are characteristic symptoms of Huntington's disease (HD). Objective methods for quantifying speech impairment that can be used across languages could facilitate assessment of disease progression and intervention strategies. The aim of this study was to analyze acoustic features to identify language-independent features that could be used to quantify speech dysfunction in English-, Spanish-, and Polish-speaking participants with HD.

Association Between Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Social Cognition in Huntington's Disease.

Background: Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) seems to be involved in the neural circuits associated with social cognition and brain structure.

Objectives: To investigate the association of IGF-1 levels with social cognition and brain structure in Huntington's disease (HD).

Methods: We evaluated social cognition using the Ekman test in 22 HD patients and 19 matched controls.

Accelerometer Cut-Points for Physical Activity Assessment in Adults with Mild to Moderate Huntington's Disease: A Cross-Sectional Multicentre Study.

Accelerometers can estimate the intensity, frequency, and duration of physical activity in healthy adults. Although thresholds to distinguish varying levels of activity intensity using the Actigraph wGT3X-B have been established for the general population, their accuracy for Huntington's disease (HD) is unknown. We aimed to define and cross-validate accelerometer cut-points for different walking speeds in adults with mild to moderate HD.

The Impact of Dietary Intake and Physical Activity on Body Composition in Parkinson's Disease.

Background: Skeletal muscle loss has been associated with declining physical performance and a negative prognostic effect on falls, disability, and mortality risk in Parkinson's disease.

Objectives: We aimed to analyze the clinical correlates associated with skeletal muscle wasting in Parkinson's disease.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional, case-control, observational study.

Tremor Control Devices for Essential Tremor: A Systematic Literature Review.

Background: There is a growing interest in nonpharmacological approaches for essential tremor (ET), including tremor cancelation devices. However, the true efficacy of such devices in ET remains unclear.

Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using standardized criteria regarding efficacy and comfortability.

Is Restless Legs Syndrome Associated with an Increased Risk of Mortality? A Meta-Analysis of Cohort Studies.

Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sleep disorder,. although controversial, growing evidence relates the presence of RLS to an increased risk of mortality, mainly due to cardiovascular events. The aim of this article was to review the role of RLS as a risk factor of mortality according to independent cohort studies.
