The objective was to characterize the definitions and criteria used to determine persisting symptoms after concussion in children. This scoping review followed a five-step framework. Four databases (PubMed, Scopus, PsychInfo, and Web of Science) were searched using the concepts of concussion, children, and persisting symptoms. Articles were included if ...

Introduction: Cancers often drive T cells toward an exhausted state characterized by impaired cytotoxicity and upregulation of inhibitory receptors (PD-1, TIM-3, CD38) and transcriptional regulators (TOX, NFATc1). Repeated stimulation in vitro is used to model this process, reflecting chronic antigen exposure in the tumor microenvironment. Stress-derive ...

Context: Current graded exertion tests (GXTs) for concussion management require specialized equipment and in-person supervision. The Montreal Virtual Exertion (MOVE) protocol is a telehealth-compatible GXT but has been tested only in pseudo-virtual conditions. Objective: To determine the safety and feasibility of the MOVE protocol when administered rem ...

Introduction: The Achilles tendon (AT) plays a crucial role in force transmission and movement efficiency, and greater tendon stiffness may enhance elastic energy storage and improve performance in explosive movements. Shear-wave elastography (SWE) enables reliable, non-invasive assessment of tendon stiffness, yet its associations with other ultrasound ...

Introduction: Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the leading cause of adult spinal cord dysfunction, often requiring surgery. However, the role of postoperative rehabilitation in optimizing patient outcomes remains unclear. Research question: What are the effects of postoperative rehabilitation on clinical outcomes following DCM surgery? Materi ...
