    Abstract Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hypothalamic dysfunction, hypotonia, cognitive deficits, and hyperphagia, primarily resulting from genetic abnormalities on chromosome 15. Among its varied manifestations, musculoskeletal issues, notably scoliosis, pose important challenges in management. This study aims to investigate differences in postural-motor development and spinal range of movement between preadolescents and adolescents with PWS, with and without scoliosis, while also exploring the potential impact of scoliosis on caregiving burden, an aspect yet to be thoroughly explored in existing literature. This observational study evaluated 13 individuals diagnosed with PWS, including 5 with scoliosis (PWS-Sc) and 7 without (PWS-NSc). Inclusion criteria comprised ages 8 to 18 years, confirmed PWS diagnosis through genetic testing, and scoliosis diagnosis. Anamnestic data, physical examinations, and surface measurements were collected, along with parental burden assessments using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). Both groups displayed delays in achieving postural-motor milestones, with the PWS-Sc group exhibiting a more pronounced delay, although statistical significance was not achieved. The main curve magnitude in the PWS-Sc group averaged 31.5° Cobb, with 60% of cases presenting an S-shaped curve. Surface measurements of physiological curves did not differ significantly between groups, but the scoliosis-affected group exhibited lower lumbar extension values (p=0.04). The overall ZBI revealed higher scores in the PWS-Sc group, although statistical significance was not reached. However, significant differences were observed in single questions score evaluating aspects such as social life and caregiver uncertainty (p=0.04 and p=0.03, respectively). Despite the small sample size, delays in achieving postural-motor milestones, particularly in individuals with scoliosis, were observed. The differences recorded in lumbo-pelvic movement suggest that tailored interventions may be beneficial. The heightened caregiving burden in the scoliosis group underscores the need for targeted support. Early intervention and ongoing monitoring should be important for accurate diagnosis and appropriate care, potentially with psychological support for caregivers.

    Abstract Pulmonary rehabilitation is essential in post-COVID subjects, reporting respiratory impairment after the discharge from the hospital. Because the number of patients with respiratory outcomes is high and there are few facilities available, we wonder if a spa setting could represent a valid out-of-hospital alternative. We aim to explore recent evidence related to respiratory rehabilitation in the spa environment to understand if it can represent an appropriate setting for respiratory rehabilitation interventions in post-COVID subjects. Studies were found by screening PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases from 2011 up to February 2021. Studies were eligible if they were reviews, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), or clinical trials, investigating respiratory interventions in the spa environment. Recent evidence has shown that inhalations and mineral-rich water immersions are effective in fighting and preventing multiple chronic respiratory tract diseases. Therefore, these treatments could also be applied to post-COVID patients with medium long-term respiratory outcomes.

    Abstract The global burden of neurodegenerative disorders is significantly increasing as life expectancy rises but currently there is no cure for these conditions. An extensive search on MEDLINE (PubMed) and PEDro databases was conducted selecting clinical trials, Randomized Controlled Trials, and longitudinal studies published in the last 20 years in order to highlight what evidence there is for a role of spa rehabilitative interventions for patients with neurodegenerative diseases, in terms of motor function, symptoms, and quality of life (QoL) improvement and cost-effectiveness. A total of 225 publications were analyzed. Only three manuscripts were selected for review because they matched the inclusion criteria. These studies demonstrated statistically significant differences in the outcomes evaluated among patients affected by Parkinson's disease after thermal rehabilitative treatments: motor function, balance, QoL, and psychological well-being statistically improved. In addition, rehabilitation in the spa setting seemed to be cost-effective for these patients. However, further studies are needed to define the role of spa rehabilitative interventions for these patients as the literature is still limited.

    Abstract Background: Brace treatment is the most effective tool for avoiding curve progression in moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and high adherence is required to achieve therapeutic success. Despite this, the compliance often is impaired by the concern about the psychological well-being of adolescents.
    Objective: This 36-month follow-up study investigated if the patients most adherent to brace treatment could report a stronger impairment in the quality of life and body image.
    Methods: 64 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis responded to the Scoliosis Research Society-22 revised Patient Questionnaire at 12, 24, and 36 months after prescription of a TLSO rigid brace. Retrospectively, participants who wore a brace for more than 75% of the prescribed time were assigned to the good-compliance group (GC); the others formed the poor-compliance group (PC).
    Results: At 12 months the GC group showed higher scores in treatment satisfaction and at 36 months they did not differ from the PC group in the overall SRS-22r score. Moreover, they achieved a statistically significant improvement in the scoliosis severity, although they showed lower scores in the self-image domain.
    Conclusion: In our patient's cohort, increased brace adherence does not compromise QoL and provides better treatment outcomes. However, more attention is needed to maintain good self-perception.

    Abstract Lymphedema is a chronic and progressive disorder of the lymphatic system that impairs the return of lymphatic fluid. Breast cancer treatment can cause breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL), with axillary lymph node dissection and regional lymph node radiation being established risk factors. BCRL can cause severe morbidity, disability, and reduced quality of life. Early detection and treatment are essential to prevent the disease from progressing and causing complications. According to the International Society of Lymphology, complex decongestive therapy (CDT) is the most effective conservative treatment for lymphedema. Aquatic exercise is a safe and effective form of therapeutic CDT exercise that can improve joint range of motion, reduce pain, and positively impact limb volume. Additionally, health resort medicine and thermal mineral-rich waters may provide synergistic benefits for therapeutic exercise programs. Therefore, we believe that consideration should be given to whether the spa setting could represent a viable alternative for the rehabilitation of BCRL patients.
