Article Abstract
Background: The effect of robot-assisted gait training has been demonstrated to improve gait recovery in patients with stroke. The aim of this study was to determine effects of robot-assisted gait training with various training modes in patients post stroke.
Methods: Forty-seven patients post stroke were randomly assigned to one of 4 groups: Healbot T with pelvic off mode (pelvic off group; n = 11); Healbot T with pelvic control mode (pelvic on group; n = 12); Healbot T with constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) mode (CIMT group; n = 10); and conventional physiotherapy (control group; n = 10). All patients received a 30-minute session 10 times for 4 weeks. The primary outcomes were the 10-meter walk test (10MWT) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The secondary outcomes were functional ambulation category, timed up and go (TUG), and motricity index of the lower extremities (MI-Lower).
Results: The pelvic off group showed significant improvements in BBS, TUG, and MI-Lower (P < .05). The pelvic on and CIMT groups showed significant improvement in 10MWT, BBS, TUG, and MI-Lower (P < .05). Compared with control group, the pelvic on group showed greater improvement in the TUG and BBS scores; the CIMT group showed greater improvement in 10MWT and MI-Lower (P < .05).
Conclusion: This study suggested that Healbot T-assisted gait training benefited patients with stroke. The Healbot T with pelvic motion and CIMT modes were more helpful in improving balance and walking ability and lower limb strength, respectively, compared with conventional physiotherapy.

Prostate cancer characteristics in fathers and risk of early onset high-risk prostate cancer in sons.

Department of Surgical Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
A family history of prostate cancer in first-degree relatives is an established risk factor for prostate cancer, but the specific associations between prostate cancer characteristics in fathers and the risk of high-risk prostate cancer in their sons remain unclear. We identified men in Prostate Cancer data Base Sweden whose fathers had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998-2005. We compared the observed number of prostate cancer diagnoses in these men with the expected number in the Swedish male population, estimating standardized incidence ratios (SIR).

This study compared the pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) symptoms, knowledge level and quality of life inwomen with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and healthy. The study included 30 SSc and 30 healthy women. The presence and severity of PFD symptoms were evaluated using the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) (Subscales: Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory-6 (POPDI-6), Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory-8 (CRADI-8), and Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6)).

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.MethodsA total of 200 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were enrolled in this retrospective study and randomly allocated to two groups (research registry number: 11353). On the first day after abdominal closure, routine treatment was performed in the non-HIPEC group, whereas HIPEC was performed in the HIPEC group.

Background: Metastases in the lateral pelvic lymph nodes or mesenteric lymph nodes represent distinct categories of mid-low rectal cancer. This study investigated the patterns of mesenteric and lateral pelvic lymph node metastases in mid-low rectal cancer; the survival benefit of postoperative treatment was also analysed in these groups.
Methods: This retrospective multicentre study included consecutive patients with mid-low rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic lymph node dissection in three Chinese institutions between 2012 and 2020.

Pelvic floor disorders are a wide-ranging group of conditions arising due to abnormalities of the musculature of the pelvic floor. These conditions can include constipation, pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, and dyspareunia. This article first provides an overview of key anatomy of the pelvic floor muscles before discussing pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT), highlighting the goals of treatment and tactics used by physical therapists to achieve these goals.
