The incidence of hyaluronic acid (HA) embolism has increased markedly in recent years. HA embolism can lead to serious complications such as blindness, eye and eyelid movement disorders, skin necrosis, and cerebral embolism. However, there is a lack of robust clinical evidence regarding the benefits of treatment of HA embolism with intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy (IATT).

In the present study, we enrolled 45 patients with decreased visual acuity, including 40 patients with symptoms of vision loss and eight patients with symptoms of intracranial embolism. The patients underwent emergency IATT via hyaluronidase and papaverine injections, followed by conventional sequential therapy.

In the 45 patients with symptoms of vision loss, 16 (36%) exhibited improvements in final visual acuity, even when the clinical application of the thrombolytic treatments was performed beyond the recommended window for optimal treatment. The facial skin necrosis of all patients was restored to near normal appearance. Notably, for eight patients with suspected symptoms of intracranial infarction we performed cerebral angiography and IATT, and in two patients obtained partial recanalization of the obstruction, the symptoms of heavy headache and binocular distension pain were improved in one patient with intracranial embolism after IATT treatment.

Our results indicate that IATT is feasible for patients with vision loss induced by HA embolism. IATT combined with conventional sequential therapy was beneficial in the recovery from other serious HA embolism complications. Nevertheless, the underlying pathophysiological mechanism needs to be clarified in future animal experiments.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and severity of corona-associated anxiety and mental health disorder among Iranian dentists during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A study was conducted using online survey from May 2nd to 14th, 2020. The questionnaire consisted of three sections demographic information, anxiety (18 questions), and general health (GH) (GHQ-28). Scoring system was based on Likert scale. The questionnaire was registered at Porsline website. Data were analyzed using t test and Pearson's correlation coefficient statistical tests.

A total of 320 dentists from all over the country fully completed questionnaires. 42.5% of dentist had corona-associated anxiety and 32.5% out of them had mild severity and no severe anxiety was observed. 62.5% of dentists were nonpsychiatric according to GHQ-28, 35% had mild disorders in GH, and no one had severe GH disorders. There were significant relationships between gender, marital status, and family history of psychiatric disorders with GH status. There was a significant relationship between history of physical illness with corona-associated anxiety. There was a significant relationship between history of psychiatric disorders with corona-associated anxiety and GH status.

The prevalence of corona-associated anxiety and mental disorders in dentists was moderate; by holding psychological workshops to maintain and strengthen the morale of dentists during the corona pandemic, along with teaching them the correct way to use personal protective equipment, while maintaining the mental health of dentists, we will help them return to work and provide dental services.

Movement system theory provides classifications and terminology that succinctly identifies and describes physical therapy practice from a theoretical and philosophical framework. The cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine, integumentary, nervous, and musculoskeletal systems are all included within this schema as the movement system theory encompasses all body systems interacting to create movement across the lifespan. Implementing movement system theory requires an ability to use human anatomy in physical therapist education and practice. Understanding the human body is a mandatory prerequisite for effective diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and patient evaluation. Anatomical competence refers to the ability to apply anatomic knowledge within the appropriate professional and clinical contexts. Exploring the required anatomical concepts for competent entry-level physical therapist education and clinical practice is warranted. The recommended threshold concepts (fluency, dimensionality, adaptability, connectivity, complexity, stability or homeostasis, progression or development, and humanity) could serve as an integral and long-awaited tool for guiding anatomy educators in physical therapy education.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common among patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) and it is independently associated with mortality. We sought to assess the prevalence, severity, and prognosis of AKI as a function of cardiogenic shock severity in unselected Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) patients.

We retrospectively reviewed admissions to the Mayo Clinic between 2007 to 2015 and stratified patients by the AKI stage (based on modified Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria) and Society for cardiovascular angiography and interventions (SCAI) shock stage. The association with in-hospital mortality was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression.

We included 9,311 unique patients with a mean age of 67 years and 37% females. see more SCAI shock stages A, B, C, D, and E were present in 47%, 30%, 15%, 7%, and 1% of patients. The incidence of AKI of any severity was 39% in the CICU and 51% during the hospitalization. Hospital mortality occurred in 8% of all patients, and the risk increased as a function of the rising AKI and SCAI shock stage.
