Observational StudyThe role of the prognostic nutritional index in predicting mortality in stroke patients.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the prognostic nutritional index in predicting in-hospital mortality among patients with acute ischemic stroke. ⋯ Prognostic nutritional index is a valuable prognostic indicator for in-hospital mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients. Low prognostic nutritional index values are associated with increased mortality risk. Incorporating prognostic nutritional index into clinical practice may aid in the early identification of high-risk patients and the optimization of treatment strategies. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore the broader clinical applications of prognostic nutritional index.

Pelvic obliquity, trunk control, and motor function: an exploratory study in a non-ambulatory Duchenne muscular dystrophy cohort.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between pelvic obliquity and trunk control, spinal deformity, upper extremity functional performance, and motor function in patients with non-ambulatory Duchenne muscular dystrophy. ⋯ The study found that pelvic obliquity may lead to spinal health deterioration and motor function limitations in non-ambulatory patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, especially those with lower extremity joint contractures and long-term wheelchair use.
