Aberrations in brain connections are implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). We previously demonstrated that Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) reduction is associated with cognition decline. Nonetheless, it is elusive if the pattern of brain topological connectivity differed across PD with divergent serum GDNF levels, and the accompanying profile of cognitive deficits has yet to be determined.

Distinct serum GDNF coupling with brain structural and functional changes underlies cognitive status in Parkinson's disease.

To investigate the effect of combined repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation on upper extremity function in subacute stroke patients.

Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation in rehabilitation of upper extremity hemiparesis following stroke: a pilot study.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of combining proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) with threshold inspiratory muscle training (TIMT), compared with TIMT alone, on respiratory function in neurocritical patients who experienced a weaning failure. Forty-seven participants (mostly after a stroke), were randomly divided into the experimental group ( n  = 24) and the control group ( n  = 23). The control group received usual care and TIMT, whereas the experimental group, in addition, underwent four 90-s periods of manual PNF. Both groups performed training in the ICU twice a day for 5 consecutive days. The main outcome measures included maximum inspiratory pressure, diaphragmatic excursions, diaphragm thickening fraction, oxygenation index, and forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity. The results showed a significant group-by-time interaction effect for maximum inspiratory pressure [ F (1, 45) = 17.84, η2  = 0.328, P  < 0.001] and oxygenation index [ F [1, 45) = 5.58, η2  = 0.11, P  = 0.023]. When compared with the control group, the experimental group showed overall significantly higher maximum inspiratory pressure [mean difference = 4.37 cm H 2 O, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.25-8.50, P  = 0.038]. No other significant group differences were found. Combining PNF with TIMT may improve respiratory function in neurocritical patients with weaning failure. This combination approach may increase the likelihood of survival of neurocritical patients in the ICU.

Effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation combined with threshold inspiratory muscle training on respiratory function in neurocritical patients with weaning failure: a randomized controlled trial.

Post-Rehabilitation is crucial for the recovery of stroke patients after a stroke. However, current research lacks investigations into stroke patients' awareness of the need for rehabilitation after a stroke. Additionally, there is a shortage of studies assessing the satisfaction levels of stroke patients who have undergone rehabilitation. Investigating the awareness, participation, and satisfaction of stroke patients in the Xuzhou region regarding rehabilitation, with an analysis of relevant factors. A total of 1654 patients diagnosed with stroke at Xuzhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital between January 2021 and June 2022 were selected. Telephone follow-up interviews were conducted with these patients six months to one year after their discharge to collect information. Among 1654 patients, 219 were lost to follow-up, and 337 died. There were 1098 valid samples. Among these, 406 patients (36.98%) were aware that stroke required rehabilitation, 306 patients (27.87%) participated in rehabilitation, and 146 (47.71%) were relatively satisfied with rehabilitation, and 53 (17.32%) were satisfied. There was a positive correlation between mRS score and awareness rate (r = 0.635, p < 0.001), as well as between mRS score and participation rate (r = 0.589, p < 0.001). Conversely, mRS score exhibited a negative correlation with satisfaction rate (r=-0.503, p < 0.001). The awareness, participation, and satisfaction levels of stroke patients regarding post-stroke rehabilitation remain less than ideal. Patients with higher levels of disability have a greater awareness of and participation in post-stroke rehabilitation. However, their satisfaction rates tend to be lower.

Survey and analysis of awareness, participation, and satisfaction rate of stroke patients in the Xuzhou region regarding rehabilitation and related factors.
