Vascular Imaging Features and Time-Specific Recurrence Risk After Craniocervical Artery Dissection

Background and ObjectivesCraniocervical artery dissection (CCAD) is a major cause of stroke in young adults, yet its recurrence risk remains poorly defined because of delayed enrollment in prior research. We aimed to determine the temporal distribution of recurrent ischemic strok...

Simplified, single-shot, capsule-preserving hydrodilatation combined with corticosteroids versus isolated corticosteroid injection for adhesive capsulitis: a randomized controlled trial

Glenohumeral corticosteroid injection has been a major treatment for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. Hydrodilatation is also a treatment option. However, few studies have considered the combined treatment of the two methods with heterogeneous protocols and results. The purpo...

Short-Term Cognitive and Behavioral Changes After Low-Intensity Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation in Early Alzheimer’s Disease: An IPTW-Adjusted Retrospective Exploratory Comparative Study

Background: Low-intensity ultrasound (LIUS) has been proposed as a non-invasive approach to modulate cerebrospinal fluid movement, glymphatic–lymphatic clearance, and amyloid-beta (Aβ) handling in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, clinical comparisons in amyloid biomarker-confir...

Objective Correlates of Activity Limitation in Korean Adults: A Combined Complex-Survey Regression and Explainable Machine-Learning Analysis of KNHANES 2019－2021

Background/Objective: This study aimed to identify objective, potentially intervention-relevant correlates of activity limitation in Korean adults using complex-survey logistic regression and explainable machine learning.A secondary aim was to examine how inclusion of self-rated...
