Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) presents a significant burden to patients, families, and the healthcare system. The ability to accurately predict functional outcomes for SCI patients is essential for optimizing rehabilitation strategies, guiding patient and family decision making, and improving patient care.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 589 SCI patients admitted to a single acute rehabilitation facility and used the dataset to train advanced machine learning algorithms to predict patients' rehabilitation outcomes.

Background: Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor, with 10-15% of cases showing malignant behavior defined by metastatic spread, including exceptionally rare central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Brain metastases present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their potential to impair neurological function. This study reports a case of malignant PCC (mPCC) with CNS metastases and a systematic review to clarify the clinical patterns, management strategies, and prognostic factors.

Purpose: Spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension can cause detrimental effects on both the mother and the fetus, and it remains a significant concern in obstetric anesthesia. The use of vasopressors is considered the most reliable and effective approach. Previous studies have shown that norepinephrine appears to be superior to phenylephrine in maintaining maternal heart rate and cardiac output.

PurposeThis study aimed to test a robotic supine gait training (RSGT) device's safety when treating children and adolescents with a variety of diagnoses, to ensure their safety and the standardization of clinical practices.MethodsThis retrospective observational study included 280 patients who underwent one or more treatment sessions with a RSGT device (DPA Med) at the Nantes Regional Children's and Adolescent Health Care Center. These patients' medical files, indexed in the digital medical file manager program, were examined in search of evidence of adverse events presumably associated with the treatment.
