Distinct recovery trajectories of spatiotemporal and trunk kinematic parameters following simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty: a 12-month longitudinal study

This 12-month longitudinal study using wearable IMU sensors reveals that spatiotemporal gait parameters and trunk kinematics follow distinct recovery trajectories following simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty, with temporal parameters normalizing by six months while spatial parameters and trunk sway continue to improve or remain impaired compared to healthy controls at one year.

Determinants of Interprofessional Collaboration in a University Medical Center in Beirut

This 2025 cross-sectional study of 347 staff at a Beirut university medical center found that while interprofessional collaboration is generally well-perceived, its effectiveness is primarily determined by collaborative leadership, task clarification, and mutual understanding, yet hindered by communication barriers, hierarchical tensions, and insufficient organizational support.

Effects of dorsal foot sensory electrical stimulation on gait phase control in stroke survivors with cognitive impairment: a randomized controlled trial

This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that adding four weeks of dorsal foot sensory electrical stimulation to conventional rehabilitation significantly improves paretic stance-phase control and gait symmetry in stroke survivors with cognitive impairment, independent of increases in gait speed.

α-Synuclein Seeding Activity in Fixed Antemortem Skin Biopsies From Patients With Synucleinopathies

This study demonstrates that optimized real-time quaking-induced conversion assays can successfully detect pathological α-synuclein seeding activity in paraformaldehyde-fixed antemortem skin biopsies from patients with synucleinopathies, offering a viable method to complement morphological assessments of peripheral pathology.
