A Prospective Study of Cranial Deformity and Delayed Development in Children González Santos, Josefa; González Bernal, Jerónimo; Fuente Anuncibay, Raquel de la; Aguilar-Parra, José M.; Trigueros Ramos, Rubén; Soto Cámara, Raúl; López Liria, Remedios Plagiocephaly, the most common form of cranial deformity, has become more prevalent in recent years. Many authors have described a number of sequelae of poorly defined etiologies, although several gaps exist in their real scope. This study aimed to analyze the effects of physiotherapy treatments and cranial orthoses on the psychomotor development of infants with cranial deformities, complemented by protocolized postural exercises applied by the family. This prospective study on different developmental areas included a sample of 48 breastfeeding infants aged 6 to 18 months who presented with plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome). The Brunet–Lézine scale was used to perform three tests for assessing the psychomotor development of infants, thus offering a measure for global development. The results suggest that plagiocephaly is a marker for the risk of delayed development, particularly in motor and language areas. This delayed development could be improved with physiotherapy and orthopedic treatment, complemented by interventions by the infants´ relatives.

Functional Outcomes in Upper Limb Replantation—A Systematic Review Bueno, Andrea; Nevado Sánchez, Endika; Collazo Riobó, Carla; Fuente Anuncibay, Raquel de la; González Bernal, Jerónimo Functionality after upper limb replantation is a decisive factor when considering the success of the intervention. Therefore, its evaluation is fundamental. The aim of this article was to conduct a systematic review of upper limb functions after replantation or reimplantation, seeking to identify reported functional outcomes as well as the level and mechanism of injury. To achieve this objective, a literature search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane and Web of Science. Studies from the last 10 years which included patients with upper limb replantation and reported their functional outcomes were included. Out of 523 articles, 12 studies (n = 607) were finally included. DASH and CISS were the most commonly used assessments to report functional outcomes. In conclusion, functional outcomes after replantation are assessed using widely varying scales; therefore, due to this methodological variability, it is difficult to compare functional success between studies and further studies on functionality are needed to provide new data.

Impact of a Dynamic Orthosis on Manual Dexterity Among People With Parkinson’s Disease: A Randomized Trial Jiménez Barrios, María; González Bernal, Jerónimo; Santamaría Peláez, Mirian; Collazo Riobó, Carla; Cubo Delgado, Esther; Trejo Gabriel y Galán, José Mª; Matthews, Martin J. A.; González Santos, Josefa Importance: A dynamic elastomeric fabric orthosis could be a novel nonpharmacological treatment of motor symptoms among people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the orthosis in improving manual dexterity among people with PD. Design: A randomized trial with 60 participants (control group, n = 20; experimental group, n = 40). Manual dexterity was assessed in on–off states of the disease, with and without the orthosis. Setting: Burgos University Hospital (Burgos, Spain). Participants: Consecutive nonprobabilistic sampling. Patients were included if they had been diagnosed with PD, had motor symptoms in at least one upper limb, and attended the hospital’s neurology department. Participants were ages 48 to 89 yr, with an average disease duration of 5.38 yr (SD = 4.23). Exclusion criteria were tremor due to another neurological disease or a Montreal Cognitive Assessment score ≤26. Intervention: The experimental group used the orthosis on the most affected upper limb for 2 mo; the control group participants did not receive the orthosis. Outcomes and Measures: Manual dexterity was measured with the Purdue Pegboard Test, Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test, and Square Test. Paired t tests for related samples and analysis of covariance tests were used. Results: Some participants improved on some manual dexterity items while wearing the orthosis. However, it was not sustained when the orthosis was removed after 2 mo of use. Conclusions and Relevance: The orthosis may improve certain aspects of manual dexterity and functionality among people with PD, but only while it is worn. Plain-Language Summary: The common motor symptoms and declines in manual dexterity that people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience can significantly affect their ability to perform activities of daily living as well as their quality of life. Manual dexterity is a strong predictor of the level of functional independence for people with PD. This study evaluated the efficacy of an elastomeric fabric orthosis to improve manual dexterity for people with PD. The study found that while wearing the orthosis the motor symptoms of PD were reduced and manual dexterity and upper limb functionality improved. Wearing the orthosis has the potential to enhance functionality, foster greater autonomy, and substantially improve the quality of life of people with PD.

Adenocarcinoma on retrorectal cystic hamartoma: An illustrative image for a very rare diagnosis Reoyo Pascual, José Felipe; Alonso Alonso, Evelio; Polanco Pérez, Lucía; Álvarez Rico, Miguel Ángel Retrorectal cystic hamartoma (also known as tailgut cyst) is a congenital lesion that originates from debris from the embryonic caudal intestine. Incidentally diagnosed in more than half of cases, the treatment of choice is surgical resection. It is a very rare pathology whose oncological transformation constitutes a true pathological rarity.
