Cardiopulmonary function is exceptionally critical during the early stages of rehabilitation after neurological disorders such as stroke, spinal cord injury and Parkinson's disease. This study aimed to demonstrate how robot-assisted and tilt table exercises affect cardiopulmonary function. In this study, ten healthy young adults performed six combinations of conditions according to robot-assisted mode (on/off), angle of tilt table (20°/60°), and functional electrical stimulation (FES) mode (on/off). Four conditions had FES mode off with combinations of robot-assisted mode (on/off) and tilt angle (20°/60°) and two conditions had robot-assisted mode and FES on with tilt angle (20°/60°). Cardiopulmonary effects (oxygen uptake [VO2], peak oxygen uptake [VO2peak], metabolic energy cost [MET], rate pressure product [RPP], heart rate [HR], maximum heart rate [%HRmax], and minute ventilation [VE]) were compared in each condition. As a result, in the angle and FES mode effect, VO2, VO2peak, MET, RPP, HR, and %HRmax, unlike that for VE, showed major effects in angle. In addition, in the robot-assisted mode and angle effect, when the FES was switched off, VO2, METs, and VE values showed major effects in the robot-assisted mode, whereas all other values showed major effects in angle. Compared to earlier reported findings, we can expect that robot-assisted tilt table training can lead to changes in the cardiopulmonary function.

Thajus Asirvatham raises important points. The first concern is about an outcome measurement used in the study to assess executive function. As he indicated, the Trail Making Test Part B (TMT-B) is one of conventional neuropsychological assessments, focusing on evaluating executive function itself rather than functionally assessing it. Nevertheless, the reason why the TMT-B was used is that one of the purposes of the study was to measure cerebral blood flow during executive functioning. The Korean version of the Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT-K) is a top-down performance assessment [3]. Since the EFPT-K requires participants to complete some tasks, measurements of cerebral blood flow using a functional near-infrared spectroscopy during the tasks might be inappropriate due to noise [4].

We report a case of a patient who presented with ipsilateral oculomotor nerve palsy after a spontaneous left temporoparietal lobar hemorrhage with mass effect. Primary symptomatology included ipsilateral ptosis, dilated fixed pupil, and a lack of superior and medial movement with limited inferior left eye movements. Brain imaging revealed compression of the left upper midbrain due to subtentorial herniation of the hemorrhage, and susceptibility-weighted images sequences showed cerebral microbleed in the left midbrain substantia nigra. Based on our observation from this case, physicians should consider temporoparietal lobar hemorrhage with mass effect as an attributable factor in the etiologic cause of ipsilateral oculomotor nerve palsy.

Gerstmann syndrome (GS) is a rare syndrome that occurs when there is a lesion of the dominant inferior parietal lobule (IPL), causing agraphia, acalculia, finger agnosia, and right-left disorientation. A 49-year-old right-handed male was diagnosed as GS after left parieto-occipital lobe hemorrhage. The patient showed mild anomic aphasia with agraphia in the language test and the neuropsychological test revealed acalculia, impaired right-left discrimination, and finger agnosia. In diffusion tensor tractography, the tracts of left superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), middle longitudinal fasciculus, U-fibers and posterior corpus callosum (CC) were disrupted around the left IPL. In addition, fractional anisotropy (FA) values were markedly decreased in left SLF, and posterior CC when compared to twelve healthy control subjects. Our clinical and neuroimaging findings support that GS is a disconnection syndrome caused by lesion in the white matter pathway surrounding IPL. In future, more studies of the correlation between the white matter disconnection and the development of GS including high quality imaging technique are needed.

The attitude toward telerehabilitation (TR) among therapists (191 physical therapists and 159 occupational therapists) in Korea was surveyed. The survey consisted of 15 questions in the following 8 domains: awareness(AW), attitude (AT), perceived usefulness (PU), perceived behavioral control (PBC), self-efficacy (SE), facilitating conditions (FC), barriers (B), and behavioral intention (BI). Therapists with experience in TR responded with higher scores in all domains except B, regardless of their specialty. The most perceived barriers to TR were unmatched insurance fees and a lack of technical support. Experience with TR was a major factor in attitude and behavior intention toward TR.

The Voice Handicap Index (VHI) is a patient-centered evaluation tool specifically designed for assessing voice-related quality of life. Although the VHI has been extensively used in patients with voice disorders, its applicability in stroke patients has not been fully established. This prospective cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using the VHI questionnaire in identifying stroke patients with voice problems. The study included a cohort of acute to subacute first-ever stroke patients (n = 48), with or without voice problems, as well as other non-stroke patients (n = 31) who agreed to complete the VHI questionnaire. Stroke patients with self-reported voice problems demonstrated significantly higher VHI scores and poorer life quality scores compared to the control groups. These patients also had lower Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), and Euro-QoL-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L) scores. Spearman correlation analysis revealed an inverse association between VHI scores and EQ-5D-5L (rho = -0.77, p < 0.001), Korean Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability (rho = -0.51, p < 0.001), and other functional parameters, including the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, MMSE, and MBI scores. Multiple regression analysis indicated that the VHI score was the biggest contributing factor to EQ scores. This is the first study to demonstrate that stroke patients with voice problems may experience reduced quality of life, even after controlling for other confounding factors such as dysphagia or neurological deficits. Future studies are needed whether addressing these issues by implementing the VHI may facilitate the improvement of patients' quality of life.
语音障碍指数(VHI)是一种以患者为中心的评估工具,专门用于评估与语音相关的生活质量。虽然VHI已广泛应用于嗓音障碍患者,但其在脑卒中患者中的适用性尚未完全确定。本前瞻性横断面研究旨在探讨使用VHI问卷识别有声音问题的中风患者的可行性。该研究包括急性至亚急性首次中风患者(n = 48),有或没有声音问题,以及其他非中风患者(n = 31),他们同意完成VHI问卷。与对照组相比,自我报告有声音问题的中风患者表现出明显更高的VHI得分和更差的生活质量得分。这些患者的迷你精神状态检查(MMSE)、改良Barthel指数(MBI)和Euro-QoL-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L)评分也较低。Spearman相关分析显示,VHI评分与EQ-5D-5L (rho = -0.77, p < 0.001)、Korean Mann吞咽能力评估(rho = -0.51, p < 0.001)和其他功能参数(包括美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表、MMSE和MBI评分)呈负相关。多元回归分析表明,VHI得分是影响情商得分的最大因素。这是第一个证明有声音问题的中风患者可能会经历生活质量下降的研究,即使在控制了其他混杂因素(如吞咽困难或神经功能障碍)之后。通过实施VHI来解决这些问题是否有助于改善患者的生活质量,还需要进一步的研究。

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) increases with aging society. Serious games may be effective in improving cognitive function in patients with MCI; however, research on their effects remains insufficient. This study aimed to confirm the efficacy and safety of cognitive rehabilitation training using a serious game (Brain Talk™) for the elderly with MCI. Twenty-four elderly individuals with MCI were randomized into study and control groups. The study group received 12 training sessions (30 min/session, 3 times/week), whereas the control group did not receive training. Blinded evaluations were conducted before and after the training and four weeks after the training. The primary outcome measures were the Korean Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE) and K-MoCA (Korean Montreal Cognitive Assessment). Secondary outcome measures were the Semantic Verbal Fluency Task (SVFT), Trail-Making Test-B, and 2-back test. In the study group, the K-MMSE, K-MoCA, and SVFT scores after finishing the training and 4 weeks after training showed a significant increase; however, there was no significant change in the control group. No significant differences were observed between the two groups. Cognitive function significantly improved in the study group after training. Home-based serious games are considered helpful in improving cognitive function.

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of neurogenic bladder in patients with multiple systemic atrophy and distinguish between cerebellar and parkinsonian-type urodynamic patterns. We reviewed 19 patients diagnosed with multiple systemic atrophy with low urinary tract symptoms who underwent an urodynamic study at Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital between March 2010 and February 2022. This study did not account for the differences observed between the multiple system atrophy subtypes in the voiding phase. Urodynamic study is an effective tool to understand the complicated bladder pattern in patients with multiple system atrophy.

Gliomas are primary central nervous system tumors that arise from glial progenitor cells. Gliomas have been classically classified morphologically based on their histopathological characteristics. However, with recent advances in cancer genomics, molecular profiles have now been integrated into the classification and diagnosis of gliomas. In this review article, we discuss the clinical features, imaging findings, and molecular profiles of adult-type diffuse gliomas based on the new 2021 World Health Organization Classifications of Tumors of the central nervous system.
