Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a condition affecting nearly 4% of the elderly population. It has a potential for producing a wide range of symptoms, including abdominal pain and back pain. It is rare that abdominal aortic aneurysm presents with paraplegia. From literature review there have been very few reports of patients who sustained lumbar disc herniation along with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. We reported a 68-year-old man with a previously undiagnosed abdominal aortic aneurysm presenting with acute paraplegia. This patient had a history of lumbar disc herniation and was receiving pelvic traction. He survived after operation, but some long-term sequelae, …

The Interaction Between Antidepressants And Spasticity Of Stroke: Casereport, Shih-Wen Lin, Zong-Jing Wang, Young-Hue Yu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The upper motor neuron diseases (such as cerebrovascular accidents, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis) frequently cause spasticity of extremities. The medications for treating spasticity include baclofen and diazepam, which take their effect in the central nervous system through their GABAergic action. The incidence of depression in patients with spasticity is much higher than that of the normal population. Many doctors prescribe antidepressants for these patients. Two common used antidepressants are tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). They could increase serotonin amount in synapses, and induce increased excitability of motor neurons, which in turn …

Factors Influencing Puberty Attainment In Gilts And Policies That Can Improve Mating Efficiency In Replacement Gilts, Padet Tummaruk, Wichai Tantasuparuk, Mongkol Techakumphu, Annop Kunavongkrit

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The objective of this study is to review the information regarding the development of puberty in gilts and how it influences subsequent reproductive performance such an understanding can be used to improve mating efficiency in gilts. The percentage of gilts in a herd strongly influences overall productivity. The first management decision that has to be made about gilts entering the breeding herd, is the timing of the first breeding. This largely depends on when puberty develops. Puberty in gilts is defined as the time when the first oestrus and ovulation occurs followed by regular oestrous cycles. On average, gilts attain …

Long-Term Outcome Of Gastrostomy Feeding In Dysphagic Stroke Patients, Tung-Chou Li, Mei-Hue Hsu, Tzong-Hsi Lee

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Dysphagia is a common reason for long-term enteral feeding in stroke patients. It has been shown that gastrostomy feeding provides better nutrition for stroke patients than nasogastric tube feeding in short term period. However, little is known about the long-term outcome of gastrostomy-assisted feeding in them. In recent years, some of the dysphagic stroke patients began to accept gastrostomy feeding in Taiwan. We herein conducted this study to find and analyze the characteristics and long-term outcome of dysphagic stroke patients who had underwent gastrostomy. Forty-two stroke patients underwent gastrostomy between Jan. 1998 and May 2000 were enrolled in this study. …
