IntroductionAcupuncture is safe and effective for improving the motor function of poststroke hemiplegic patients, but there still exists a certain gap between clinical practice and understanding its neural mechanisms. The cerebral functional reconstruction after unilateral motor pathway injury exhibits a bilateral tendency, however current studies seldom pay attention to it. Hence, based on cerebral bilateral connections, the underlying mechanism of acupuncture in stroke rehabilitation remains an...

ObjectiveTo investigate current Down syndrome live birth and death rates, and childhood hospitalisations, compared with peers. SettingGeneral community. ParticipantsAll live births with Down syndrome, 1990–2015, identified via Scottish regional cytogenetic laboratories, each age–sex–neighbourhood deprivation matched with five non-Down syndrome controls. Record linkage to Scotland’s hospital admissions and death data. Primary outcomeHRs comparing risk of first hospitalisation (any and emergency),...

IntroductionPhysical functioning (PF) is the ability to carry out the physical activity of daily living. It is an important outcome that provides a meaningful evaluation of individuals’ life. PF can be assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, performance-based outcome measures or body structure and function measure. Measures need to be valid, reliable and responsive to change to evaluate the effects of an intervention. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common deformity among...

ObjectivesWe aimed to develop and internally validate a measure of multimorbidity burden using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). DesignData from 40 264 CLSA participants (52% men) aged 45–85 years (a mean of 63 years) were analysed. We used logistic regression models to predict overnight hospitalisation in the last 12 months in the development dataset (random two-thirds of the total) and used these to construct 10 multimorbidity indices (5 models, each treated with and...

Abstract Granular cell tumors (GCT) are rare soft tissue tumors that involve the head and neck in 50% of patients. Two distinct variants of GCT, one benign (bGCT) and the other malignant (mGCT), involving the hypopharynx, a subsite of the larynx, are presented here. The clinical presentations, radiographic features, pathologic diagnosis in these two variants of GCT are discussed. The mGCT was diagnosed only after complete tumor excision. This report highlights the importance of...

Abstract Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is acknowledged as a highly valuable vegetable crop. Despite having high demand, limited breeding efforts have been made to develop the varieties and hybrids suitable to wider climatic conditions due to improper characterization of the available germplasm. An accession panel (AP) consisting of 144 accessions of five different root colors representing Asiatic and Western gene pools collected from different parts of India was utilized in the present...
