Stroke significantly contributes to long-term disability, one of the problems is with impaired balance control, increasing the risk of falls. The risk of falls may be mitigated using reactive balance training (RBT) which has been shown to effectively reduce fall risk by enhancing reactive stepping following repeated balance perturbations. However, the optimal RBT intensity for people with chronic stroke remains unknown.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Futsal, a high-intensity sport, places considerable demands on the hip adductors and core musculature, often resulting in strength deficits and reduced agility. Optimising training strategies to prevent injury and enhance performance is a growing area of interest. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the modified progressive Copenhagen exercise versus sliding hip exercise in adjuncts to conventional physiotherapy in improving strength, core stability and agility in futsal athletes.

Background: Multiple non-pharmacological and nonsurgical interventions have demonstrated efficacy in improving abdominal obesity. However, the optimal intervention remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the relative effectiveness and safety of these interventions in reducing waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body mass index (BMI), and body weight among adults with abdominal obesity.

Rationale: Prolapsed hemorrhoids can impair quality of life due to associated symptoms such as pain. While hemorrhoidectomy is considered the gold standard for treating prolapsed hemorrhoids, this procedure inevitably involves complications such as postoperative pain, bleeding, and delayed recovery. Therefore, there is an increasing need for treatment options that are immediate, effective, and minimally invasive, while also taking into account patients' physical and social backgrounds, preferences, and values.
