Lidocaine inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion and induced differentiation of glioma cells in vitro. Lidocaine suppressed the expression of circEZH2, and circEZH2 was highly expressed in glioma tissues and cells. CircEZH2 overexpression partly inhibited the function of lidocaine. CircEZH2 was a sponge of miR-181b-5p, and miR-181b-5p was downregulated in glioma tissues and cells. Besides, miR-181b-5p restoration reversed the effects of circEZH2 overexpression to repress the malignant behaviors of glioma cells. In addition, lidocaine mediated the circEZH2/miR-181b-5p axis to inhibit tumor growth in vivo.

Lidocaine suppressed glioma progression by modulating the circEZH2/miR-181b-5p pathway.

Competent neurologic examination and clinical skills are essential components in the care for patients in acute hospital and rehabilitation settings. To enhance the evaluation and education of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residents, the authors developed an educational objective structured clinical examination, the Neurological Exam Assessment Competency Evaluation System, and gathered 2 yrs of baseline data. The Neurological Exam Assessment Competency Evaluation System consisted of nine 9-min examination stations, seven with written clinical scenario with instructions for junior residents to complete the appropriate examination (stations Altered Mental Status, Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, Dementia, Stroke, Falls, and the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury Sensory and Motor Examinations). Examinees provided written responses to posed questions for the other two stations-Modified Ashworth Scale and brachial plexus. The assessment tools for this examination wns for junior residents to complete the appropriate examination (stations Altered Mental Status, Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, Dementia, Stroke, Falls, and the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury Sensory and Motor Examinations). Examinees provided written responses to posed questions for the other two stations-Modified Ashworth Scale and brachial plexus. The assessment tools for this examination were designed for residency programs to evaluate the basic competencies as outlined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation milestones. Based on the feedback received from the examinees and examiners, the Neurological Exam Assessment Competency Evaluation System can serve as an educational objective structured clinical examination for the improvement of trainee core competencies.
Intramuscular Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) is used in the management of focal spasticity in cerebral palsy (CP). We aimed to conduct a systematic review to assess current literature on the use of BTX-A in the management of mobility related outcomes among adult persons with spastic CP.

All studies reporting on the use of BTX-A in the management of spastic CP among adult persons were identified by searching the following electronic databases PubMed, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE.

Six studies were included in the review. selleck kinase inhibitor Most studies were conducted in mixed patient groups comprising patients with movement disorders, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy and other disorders requiring therapy for spasticity. BTX-A was shown to be effective in improving spasticity related outcomes among persons with CP but mixed results were shown for functional outcomes.

More studies are required on exclusive CP cohorts using recommended and currently used scales, incorporating Quality of life and patient satisfaction scales. Results from long term follow up studies will be valuable for better evaluation of the effectiveness of BTX-A in the management of spasticity related outcomes among adult persons with CP.

Trainees are increasingly seeking high quality, ethically sound, and educationally robust opportunities for global medical rotations. link2 When based on best educational practices, these opportunities can provide a unique learning experience for residents in traditional Physical Medicine and Rehabiliation (PM&R) programs. This article describes the development of an international rotation in PM&R including specific competency-based PM&R global health learning objectives, predeparture training, rotation structure, and post-rotation feedback mechanisms. The aim is to present the development of the program as a resource for both residents and program directors to help create and maximize existing rotations at their own institutions. Learners must complete predeparture requirements that include completion of a musculoskeletal rotation and global health didactics intended to provide foundational knowledge in physiatry and global health. Postrotation requirements include the residency program's standardized evaluation form, resident survey, and self-reflection essay. Experience from a novel 4-week pilot rotation to Punta Gorda, Belize is described to exemplify ACGME based learning objectives as well as the benefits of a formalized rotation structure. Using this unique set of learning objectives and proposed rotation requirements, we believe that PM&R residency programs can develop valuable global health learning experiences.The American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation's revised mission and vision emphasize lifelong learning throughout its board certification processes. More formative approaches have been incorporated into both initial and continuing certification. These changes are based in adult learning theory and are supported by an ongoing board research endeavor. Board certification in the future is envisioned as a partnership with physicians to facilitate ongoing learning and positively impact patient outcomes.
In 2015, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education published the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Milestones 1.0 as part of the Next Accreditation System. This was the culmination of more than 20 yrs of work on the part of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education to improve graduate medical education competency assessments. The six core competencies were patient care, medical knowledge, systems-based practice, practice-based learning and improvement, professionalism, and interpersonal and communication skills. While providing a good foundation for resident assessment, the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Milestones 1.0 was not without faults. link3 With input from program directors, national organizations, and the public, the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Milestones 2.0 strives to further advance resident assessment, providing improvements through the integration of the harmonized Milestones and the addition of a supplemental guide.

Facial suspension threads have been successfully used for facial soft-tissue repositioning. When using facial suspension threads, it is unclear which technique and/or material has the greatest lifting effect for the middle and lower face or which technique/material best reduces the appearance of the jowls.

Three female and 2 male cephalic specimens of Caucasian ethnicity (65.2 ± 8.3 years; 20.72 ± 2.6 kg/m) were analyzed in an upright secured position. Polydioxanone and polycaprolactone bidirectional barbed facial suspension threads were introduced by an 18 G, 100 mm cannula. The single-vector technique aimed toward the labiomandibular sulcus, and the dual-vector technique aimed toward the labiomandibular sulcus and the mandibular angle. Computation of vertical lifting, horizontal lifting, and volume reduction at the jowls and along the jawline were calculated using 3D imaging.

The dual-vector technique effected a greater vertical lifting effect (4.45 ± 2.78 mm vs 2.99 ± 2.23 mm) but a reduced horizontal lifting effect (0.33 ± 1.34 mm vs 0.49 ± 1.32 mm). The dual-vector technique effected less volume reduction at the jowls 0.32 ± 0.24 cc versus 0.41 ± 0.46 cc and less volume reduction along the jawline 0.46 ± 0.48 cc versus 0.87 ± 0.53 cc (dual-vector vs single-vector).

This study provides evidence resulting from cadaveric observations for the overall nonsuperiority of the dual-vector technique compared with the single-vector technique.

Cherry angiomas are benign vascular proliferations of endothelial cells associated with aging. Currently, no mainstay of treatment for these vascular anomalies exists.

To review existing evidence-based therapies for the treatment of cherry angiomas.

A literature search in May 2019 was performed with PubMed Database and Cochrane Library using the following terms "cherry angioma," "senile hemangioma," "senile angioma," "cherry hemangioma," and "Campbell de Morgan spots."

Ten studies included in this systematic review reported laser therapy and nonlaser therapy as efficacious treatments for cherry angiomas. Among the laser therapies, pulsed dye laser (PDL) was preferred over potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) and electrodessication (ED), based on decreased procedure-related pain. The neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (NdYAG) laser 1064 nm produced less pigmentary complications, whereas KTP and PDL risked pigmentary changes in darker-skinned individuals. Nonlaser therapies included cryotherapy, sclerotherapy, electrosurgery (i.e., ED, electrocoagulation), and radiofrequency ablation. No therapy proved to be superior.

A variety of therapeutic modalities exist for the treatment of cherry angiomas. However, a limited number of high-quality studies explored the efficacy of treatments and compared treatment modalities. Light-based methods such as argon, KTP, NdYAG, intense pulsed light, and PDL, along with non-light-based interventions such as cryotherapy, electrosurgery, and sclerotherapy effectively treated cherry angiomas.
