Background: Extremity fractures are common injuries in polytraumatized patients. Concomitant injuries to the soft tissue, vessels and nerves in these fractures are defined as mangled extremities. The decision for or against limb salvage is dependent...

Background: Bariatric surgery is known to induce weight loss and diabetes remission in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the exact mechanism of glycemic normalization needs to be defined. Methods: The study included patients with BMI ≥ 35 k...

Background/Objectives: Over the last 20 years, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has seen the development of various paresthesia-free paradigms. Recently, a novel modality has emerged (Fast-Acting Sub-perception Therapy, FAST) that engages the surroundin...

Background/Objectives: Cochlear implantation (CI) is an effective intervention for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss; however, it may impact vestibular function due to its proximity to related anatomical structures. Vestibular evoked m...

Physical activity (PA) provides great health benefits for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Consequently, the design and implementation of PA interventions addressed to this population is needed. To rigorously evaluate these interventions, the us...

Significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease have transformed patient outcomes, leading to an expanding adult congenital heart disease population. Many of these adults require lifelong procedural interventions, freq...

Background/Objective: Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome, with multiple causes. Numerous pathophysiological pathways are activated. Comprehensive and guideline-derived care is complex. A multidisciplinary approach is required. The current guide...

Non-pharmacological therapies play an essential role in the management of heart failure, complementing pharmacological treatments to mitigate disease progression and improve patient outcomes. This review provides an updated perspective on non-pharmac...

Background/Objectives: Hip–knee coupling is a well-documented phenomenon, and interventions to one joint can alter biomechanics at the other. The purpose of this study was to investigate if knee surgery is associated with later onset of femoroa...

Background: The prevalence of portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH) is relatively low; however, its presence significantly worsens patients’ prognosis. When diagnosed, PoPH can be effectively treated, and specific therapies can lead to a substanti...
