Food Science & Nutrition, 2025 • December 3, 2025
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of malnutrition risk in a rehabilitation hospital and compare the effectiveness of MST and MUST against NRS-2002. The study found that approximately one-third...
KEY FINDING: According to NRS-2002, 28.3% of patients were at high risk for malnutrition. MST identified 30.8% of patients at high risk, while MUST classified 30.6% of patients at medium and high risk.
Korean J Neurotrauma, 2024 • December 24, 2024
AI technology, especially machine learning, is revolutionizing the management of spinal cord injuries by enhancing diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and rehabilitation. Deep learning models improve dia...
KEY FINDING: AI improves diagnostic accuracy by identifying subtle lesions or fiber tract disruptions often missed by human radiologists and integrates multimodal data for comprehensive diagnosis.
Scientific Reports, 2025 • January 13, 2025
This study explores the protective effect of prior exercise against neuropathic pain (NP) in rats by examining protein expression changes in the spinal dorsal horn using proteomic analysis. The findin...
KEY FINDING: Prior exercise significantly increased the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) in rats with CCI, indicating a reduction in pain sensitivity.
Genome Medicine, 2025 • January 24, 2025
The study investigates the molecular mechanisms behind resistance exercise-induced recovery in incomplete SCI patients and in mice. Multi-omics analyses reveal that resistance exercise modulates the c...
KEY FINDING: Resistance exercise, especially isotonic exercise, improves muscle strength, walking ability, and balance in individuals with incomplete SCI.
