Reduction of freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease by repetitive robot-assisted treadmill training: a pilot study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Parkinson's disease is a chronic, neurodegenerative disease characterized by gait abnormalities. Freezing of gait (FOG), an episodic inability to generate effective stepping, is reported as one of the most disabling and distressing parkinsonian symptoms. While there are no specific therapies to treat FOG, some external physical cues may alleviate these types of motor disruptions. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential effect of continuous physical cueing using robot-assisted sensorimotor gait training on reducing FOG episodes and improving gait.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Four individuals with Parkinson's disease and FOG symptoms received ten 30-minute sessions of robot-assisted gait training (Lokomat) to facilitate repetitive, rhythmic, and alternating bilateral lower extremity movements. Outcomes included the FOG-Questionnaire, a clinician-rated video FOG score, spatiotemporal measures of gait, and the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 quality of life measure.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>All participants showed a reduction in FOG both by self-report and clinician-rated scoring upon completion of training. Improvements were also observed in gait velocity, stride length, rhythmicity, and coordination.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>This pilot study suggests that robot-assisted gait training may be a feasible and effective method of reducing FOG and improving gait. Videotaped scoring of FOG has the potential advantage of providing additional data to complement FOG self-report.</p

Evaluación del grado de conocimiento interdisciplinar y del grado de interés en participar en grupos multidisciplinares de los estudiantes de Proyectos del Grado de Ingeniería Industrial e Ingeniería Química y los estudiantes de SIG avanzado del Grado en Ingeniería Geomática y Topografía

[ES] El actual contexto socio económico y laboral plantea el reto de formar a los estudiantes en competencias que les ayuden en un futuro a trabajar cooperativamente en equipos multidisciplinares. Las posibilidades de encontrar soluciones a problemas se incrementan cuando los miembros del equipo conocen el potencial que puede aportar cada uno de ellos. En este trabajo se ha evaluado la percepción del estudiantado respecto a la interdisciplinariedad y su grado de interés, con el objetivo de conocer la base sobre la cual poder aplicar innovaciones docentes que mejoren esta percepción entre los grados de Ingeniería Industrial e Ingeniería Química y el grado en Ingeniería Geomática y Topografía de la UPV. Tras diseñar y realizar una encuesta a los estudiantes, se concluye que existe una falta de conocimiento sobre las posibilidades y potencialidades de la colaboración interdisciplinar, aunque los estudiantes sí están interesados en trabajar en equipos multidisciplinares, por lo que se debería tratar de incorporar esta multidisciplinariedad en la docencia para el beneficio de los futuros egresados.[EN] The current socio-economic and labor context poses the challenge of training students in competencies that will help them in the future to work cooperatively in multidisciplinary teams. The possibilities of finding solutions to problems increase when the members of the team know the potential that each of them can contribute. In this work we have evaluated the students' perception of interdisciplinarity and their degree of interest, with the aim of knowing the basis on which to apply teaching innovations to improve this perception between the degrees of Industrial Engineering and Chemical Engineering and the degree in Geomatics Engineering and Surveying of the UPV. After designing and conducting a survey to students, it is concluded that there is a lack of knowledge about the possibilities and potential of interdisciplinary collaboration, although students are interested in working in multidisciplinary teams, so we should try to incorporate this multidisciplinarity in teaching for the benefit of future graduates.Esta innovación se ha realizado gracias a los proyectos de innovación docente PIME/22-23/354 y al PIME/21-22/268.Lerma-Arce, V.; Coll Aliaga, E.; Pastor-Ferrando, JP.; Fuentes-Bargues, JL.; Lo-Iacono Ferreira, VG.; Lorenzo-Sáez, E.

Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) after local treatment of brain metastases in melanoma patients: Statistical Analysis Plan

Background: The WBRTMel trial is a multinational, open-label, phase III randomised controlled trial comparing whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) to observation following local treatment of one to three melanoma brain metastases with surgery and/or stereotactic irradiation. The primary trial endpoint was to determine the effect of adding WBRT to local treatment on distant intracranial control, and the secondary endpoints were neurocognitive function, quality of life (QoL), performance status, overall survival, death from intracranial causes, death from melanoma and cost-effectiveness. Objective: The objective of this update is to outline and publish the pre-determined statistical analysis plan (SAP) before the database lock and the start of analysis. Methods: The SAP describes basic analysis principles, methods for dealing with a range of commonly encountered data analysis issues and the specific statistical procedures for analysing efficacy and safety outcomes. The SAP was approved after closure of recruitment and before completion of patient follow-up. It outlines the planned primary analyses and a range of subgroup and sensitivity analyses regarding the clinical and QoL outcomes. Health economic outcomes are not included in this plan but will be analysed separately. The SAP will be adhered to for the final data analysis of this trial to avoid analysis bias arising from knowledge of the data. Results: The resulting SAP is consistent with best practice and will allow open and transparent reporting. Conclusion: We have developed a SAP for the WBRTMel trial which will be followed to ensure high-quality standards of internal validity to minimise analysis bias

Relationship between microstructure and fracture types in a UNS S32205 duplex stainless steel

Duplex stainless steels are susceptible to the formation of sigma phase at high temperature which could potentially be responsible for catastrophic service failure of components. Thermal treatments were applied to duplex stainless steels in order to promote the precipitation of different fractions of sigma phase into a ferrite-austenite microstructure. Quantitative image analysis was employed to characterize the microstructure and Charpy impact tests were used in order to evaluate the mechanical degradation caused by sigma phase presence. The fracture morphology of the Charpy test specimens were thoroughly observed in SEM, looking for a correlation between the microstructure and the fracture types in UNS S32205 duplex stainless steel. The main conclusion is the strong embrittlement effect of sigma phase since it is possible to observe a transition from transgranular fracture to intergranular fracture as increases the percentage of sigma phase. Thus, the mixed modes of fracture are predominant in the present study with high dependence on sigma phase percentages obtained by different thermal treatments
