Background: Raoultella planticola is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in water and soil and considered to be a rare and possibly underestimated cause of severe human infection. Its presence should be suspected in older patients with a history of cancer, immune suppression and recent exposure to traumatic injuries or invasive medical procedures. Case presentation: A 78-year-old male with a history of hypertension was diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) was performed afterwards. On the 8th day of surgery, the patient was admitted to our tertiary ICU with septic shock. His initial Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was 12 with predicted mortality 95.7%. Empirical antibiotic therapy with colymicin, meropenem and teikoplanin was administered immediately and two sets of blood cultures were obtained. Patient developed refractory septic shock despite the addition of vasopressin and the patient’s condition continued to deteriorate. Patient died on the third day of sepsis. His blood culture was positive for R. planticola, which was identified using the VITEK-2 biochemical identification system. Conclusions: Clinicians should be aware of fatal unusual infections in immunocompromised patients.

Calf muscle spasticity leading spastic movement disorders during walking is the major complex functional problem in post stroke hemiplegia. And a recent RCT suggests that Whole Body Vibration (WBV) therapy of 40 hz/4 mm amplitude for 5 minutes totally 12 sessions improves walking speed in the long term and may be a complementary therapy in gait rehabilitation. Nevertheless, a 2015 systematic review and meta-analysis concludes that WBV training had no beneficial effects in muscle strength.

Background: Hypertension is the most important risk factor for chronic disease burden in India. The numbers of peoples affected and the prevalence of hypertension in rural India are expected to increase over the next decade. Aim and Objectives: To determine the prevalence and associated lifestyle risk factors of hypertension in rural India. Materials & methods: A community based cross sectional study was done among age group 40 years & above in rural area of eastern UP, India. Multistage and probability proportional to size sampling procedure was used. Statistical analysis: Data of 1856 individuals for prevalence of hypertension and associated risk factors were analysed and 2 value for each of the risk factors were calculated. Logistic regression analysis was used to predict hypertensive population associated with different risk factors also Adjusted Odd Ratio and corresponding Forest plot were also discussed in detail for each lifestyle risk factors. Results: The overall prevalence of hypertension was found to be 29.1%. Obesity and diabetes were strongly associated with hypertension. Compared to age group (40-49) years, others groups (50-59), (60-69), (70& above) were 2.44, 3.67, 5.33 times (AOR=2.44, 3.67, 5.33) more likely to have hypertensive population. Hypertension occurs nearly equal in both male and female (AOR=1.007; 95%CI: 0.77-1.32). In this study smokers, obese and diabetic person are more likely to have hypertension. Smokers have 1.38 times more chance to become hypertensive (AOR=1.380; 95%CI: 1.01-1.88) than non-smokers while in alcoholic and non-alcoholic population have equal chance (AOR=1.009; 95%CI=0.74-1.37) to become hypertensive. Conclusion: There is need to implement comprehensive lifestyle modification program such as promotion of healthy dietary habits, physical activity, tobacco cessation, avoidance of excessive intake of alcohol and stress, which may play major role in prevention of new hypertensive cases.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is neurodegenerative disorder that develops over a period of years that differs from normal aging. One of the most important risk factors is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer's are 65 years and older. AD reduces life expectancy and is one of the major causes of physical disability, institutionalization, and low quality of life among the elderly. AD is highly related to functional disability and institutionalization. There are many factors associated with AD including physical and behavioural complications. Aim: To assess epidemiological pattern and complications of AD among patients in Aseer region, Saudi Arabia. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study included 110 Alzheimer patients (66 males and 44 females) registered at Aseer Central Hospital, Southern of Saudi Arabia. A pre-structured questionnaire was used for data collection that included patients’ personal characteristics and frequency of exposure to complications associated with Alzheimer disease. Results: About 72% of the patients aged 70 years or older and 60% were males. Almost all of the patients were citizens 97.3% and 62.7% were married. Exact of 56.4% of the patients were illiterate and only few 4.5% were university graduated. Pneumonia was the most frequent complication followed by getting lost, fall down, and bone fracture. Getting lost was significantly more among males than females (P=0.007), while pneumonia was significantly more among patients treated in governmental hospitals (P=0.003). On the other hand, bone fractures and falling down did not differ significantly according to patients’ personal characteristics. Conclusions: The most frequent complications associated with Alzheimer Disease in our study population were pneumonia, getting lost, falling down and bone fractures. Risk factors associated with these complications include male gender for getting lost. Health care providers are advised to provide close care to Alzheimer disease patients.

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is well-established as a safe and effective monitoring tool for stroke recovery, including upper limb, lower limb recovery, motor learning, cortical function recovery, cerebral hemodynamic changes, cerebral oxygenation, therapy, clinical researches and evaluation of the risk for stroke. NIRS principles have been used to study brain oxygenation for several decades, but have more recently been applied to various uses. We provide a brief overview of our research and clinical applications of NIRS in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation field.

Even though we don’t know exactly which smokers will develop CVD from smoking, the best thing all smokers can do for their hearts is to quit. Smokers who quit start to improve their heart health and reduce their risk for CVD immediately. Within a year, the risk of heart attack drops dramatically, and even people who have already had a heart attack can cut their risk of having another if they quit smoking. Within five years of quitting, smokers lower their risk of stroke to about that of a person who has never smoked. However, studies have reported that smoking increases the risk of CVD beyond the effects of smoking on other risk factors. In other words, the risk attributable to smoking persisted even when adjustments were made for differences between persons who smoke and nonsmokers in levels of these other risk factors.

Schwann cells (SCs) are specialized glial cells that wrap and protect axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). There are a variety of SCs including non-myelinating SCs such as Remak SCs, perisynaptic/ terminal SCs, repair/ Bunger SCs and nociceptive SCs that surround axons or axon terminals without forming myelin sheath. Non-myelinating SCs play important roles in proper myelin development and maintenance, repair and regeneration after injury, and nociception. A recently published work showed that transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a Ca2+-permeable permeable cation channel, is exclusively expressed in non-myelinating SCs rather than myelinating SCs and plays an important role in nerve demyelination in response to injury. In this short communication, we are going to review the recent studies and discuss the possible significance of TRPV4 channels in the non-myelinating SCs.

In this review, we organize confusing concepts of frailty, locomotive syndrome, Musculoskeletal Ambulation Disability Symptom (MADS) Complex, and sarcopenia, as avoiding fall into “word play.” The concept of Clinical Dementia Rating may be useful for understanding mixed situations. Clinical conditions differ during the process of lesion development in the brain among patients with Alzheimer disease, and that the idea of biaxial thinking for “disease” and “condition” is required. Regarding frailty, a mix of “disease” and “condition” in criteria may be a cause of confusion, and this may be an important idea in daily clinical practice. Since frailty has been identified as a reason for fall in many academic studies, of which 70% used Fried’s criteria, it is clear that frailty reflects decreased motor function. This suggests a relationship between frailty and fall.
