Effect of TheraBand-Based Throwing Exercises on Glenohumeral Rotational Kinematics, Scapular Dyskinesis, and Spiking Performance in Volleyball Players with Shoulder Internal Rotation Deficit: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) in overhead athletes represents a significant concern in volleyball, yet most research focuses solely on range of motion improvements without assessing biomechanical adaptations or sport-specific performance outcomes.
Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy of a 12-week TheraBand-based throwing exercise program on glenohumeral rotational kinematics, scapular dyskinesis, and spiking…

Neuromuscular Adaptations of the Rotator Cuff and Scapular Stabilizers Following TheraBand-Based Throwing Training in Symptomatic Volleyball Players with Shoulder Internal Rotation Deficit: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) rehabilitation literature lacks comprehensive neuromuscular analysis explaining motor control mechanisms underlying elastic resistance training effectiveness. Current evidence emphasizes range of motion and pain outcomes without addressing rotator cuff and scapular stabilizer activation patterns or co-contraction dynamics essential to shoulder stability.
Objective: This randomized…

Comparative Effects of Progressive TheraBand Throwing Load Versus Conventional Stretching on Posterior Shoulder Tightness, Internal Rotation Deficit, and Tendon Load Tolerance in Volleyball Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Despite widespread clinical adoption of stretching interventions for Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) management in overhead athletes, evidence supporting long term GIRD correction and recurrent injury prevention remains limited. Conversely, little empirical evidence exists characterizing how progressive resistance loading affects posterior shoulder tightness resolution, internal rotation deficit correction, and critically, tendon load tolerance…

Neonatal Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex: Early Diagnostic Clarification and Multidisciplinary Management in a Term Female Infant
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) comprises a heterogeneous group of inherited mechanobullous disorders characterised by skin fragility and blister formation following minimal trauma [1–3]. We report a female neonate presenting with localised blistering on the dorsum of the right foot and over the heel, ultimately diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS). Early multidisciplinary involvement, meticulous wound care, and parental counselling were central to management [8, 9]. This case…

Familial Hypoganglionosis Presenting as Maternal Chronic Intestinal Dysmotility with Co‑Occurring Subacute Combined Degeneration and Severe Anemia, and Acute Intussusception in Her Infant Daughter: A Two‑Generation Case Series
We describe a mother–infant dyad. The mother, a 16‑year‑old teenager, presented with a background of lifelong chronic constipation, recurrent abdominal discomforts, pain and distension, and malabsorption. The patient presented suddenly with progressive gait disturbance, and profound anemia. She was diagnosed with hypoganglionosis on full‑thickness biopsy and SCD on MRI. Her infant daughter presented at 7 months with acute ileocolic intussusception, requiring radiological reduction. Both…

Von Hippel–Lindau Disease Revealed by Bilateral Pheochromocytomas: A Series of 4 Cases and Literature Review
Introduction: Von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder predisposing to the development of benign and malignant tumors, notably pheochromocytomas, which are often bilateral and of early onset.
Objective: To describe the clinical, biological, radiological, and evolutionary characteristics of patients with bilateral pheochromocytomas associated with VHL disease and to compare our results with the literature…

Studies of Physical Parameters of Se90-x Te5 Sn5 Inx (0≤x≤9) Chalcogenide Glasses
Chalcogenide glasses are of huge attention due to these intriguing optical and electrical characteristics. The physical parameters of Se90-x Te5 Sn5 Inx (0≤x≤9) glassy alloys have been thoroughly examined in this work. In this system I have theoretical evaluated density (ρ), molar volume (Vm ), lone pair of electrons (LP), average coordination number , number of constraints (Nc ) and mean bond energy for this system. The evaluated values of Vm , LP, and stoichiometry (R) fall with increasing…

Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers with Vestibular Rehabilitation for Bilateral Posterior Canal BPPV Secondary to Otitis Media in an Older Adult: A Case Report
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder and is especially prevalent among older adults. While most cases are idiopathic, secondary BPPV following otitis media has gained increasing recognition. This case report describes a 63-year-old female with bilateral posterior canal BPPV involving mixed mechanisms(Right-sided cupulolithiasis and left-sided canalithiasis) occurring one year after medically treated otitis media. The diagnosis was…

Neurovascular–Neuromuscular Uncoupling After Stroke: Physiological Effects on Motor Recovery and a Novel Physiotherapy-Based Physical Examination Framework
Background: Current stroke rehabilitation focuses on motor output parameters (strength, spasticity, motor recovery) without directly assessing neurovascular–neuromuscular coupling (NMC)—the synchronization between neural drive, muscle activation, and local blood flow. Emerging neuroscience indicates that impaired microvascular perfusion–muscle activation coupling represents a fundamental pathophysiological mechanism limiting motor recovery post-stroke, yet no standardized…

Disruption of Interlimb Sensorimotor Synchronization After Stroke: Physiological Mechanisms, Physical Examination Innovation, And Global Physiotherapy Intervention Models
Background: Current stroke rehabilitation treats limbs largely independently, despite mounting evidence that bilateral sensorimotor synchronization—the coordinated temporal and spatial control of bilateral limb movement—represents a core physiological requirement for functional recovery. No standardized physiotherapy assessment quantifies interlimb phase lag, bilateral proprioceptive integration, or force-sharing asymmetry as measurable physiological…
