    Abstract Introduction: There is a lack of supporting evidence for conservative treatments involving Morton's Neuroma, which has often a clinical presentation with many associated complications such as functional impairment and chronic pain. This case study assessed the effects of a combined physical therapy treatment for Morton's Neuroma, an injury often referred for surgery.
    Methods: The patient suffered a long-standing Morton's Neuroma and received 6 combined physical therapy sessions that included soft-tissue massage, joint mobilization, strengthening therapeutic exercises and pain education. Values for pain with deep pressure, pain maladaptive beliefs and functionality were taken using clinical testing and questionnaires.
    Results: After the intervention was successfully completed, pain when applying deep pressure resolved. Functionality involving the toe-to-wall test showed an improvement in ankle dorsiflexion and better results were found in both the LEFS and FAAM questionnaires. Pain maladaptive beliefs, assessed with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and the Pain Awareness Questionnaire also reflected an improvement.
    Conclusion: A combined physical therapy approach shows encouraging results in the treatment of Morton's Neuroma.

    Abstract Background: Prostate and colorectum cancers rank among the most common cancers, and incontinence is a significant postsurgical issue affecting the physical and psychological well-being of cancer survivors. Social media, particularly YouTube, has emerged as a vital source of health information. While YouTube offers valuable content, users must exercise caution due to potential misinformation.
    Objective: This study aims to assess the quality of publicly available YouTube videos related to incontinence after pelvic cancer surgery.
    Methods: A search on YouTube related to "Incontinence after cancer surgery" was performed, and 108 videos were analyzed. Multiple quality assessment tools (DISCERN, GQS, JAMA, PEMAT, and MQ-VET) and statistical analyses (descriptive statistics and intercorrelation tests) were used to evaluate the characteristics and popularity, educational value, quality, and reliability of these videos, relying on novel graphical representation techniques such as Sankey and Chord diagrams.
    Results: Strong positive correlations were found among quality rating scales, emphasizing agreement. The performed graphical analysis reinforced the reliability and validity of quality assessments.
    Conclusions: This study found strong correlations among five quality scales, suggesting their effectiveness in assessing health information quality. The evaluation of YouTube videos consistently revealed "high" quality content. Considering the source is mandatory when assessing quality, healthcare and academic institutions are reliable sources. Caution is advised with ad-containing videos. Future research should focus on policy improvements and tools to aid patients in finding high-quality health content.

    Abstract This study aimed to evaluate, in an isolated and relative manner, hip abductor (ABD) and adductor (AD) strength and to study the extent to which these factors are related to balance and ankle dorsiflexion mobility in young elite female basketball players. Sixty trainee-level elite female basketball players (13-18 years old), who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study, were divided into three subgroups based on competition age divisions (U14, U16, U18). Isometric hip ABD and AD strength in each leg was evaluated using the ForceFrame Strength Testing System, also calculating the strength ratio and imbalance between legs. Y Balance Test (YBT) and ankle dorsiflexion mobility were also assessed. ANOVA was used for between-group differences analysis. Likewise, the impact of hip strength on balance and ankle mobility was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. A linear regression model for dependent variables was created with all variables that exhibited significant correlations. A between-group comparison analysis for the three competition age subgroups (U14, U16, U18) revealed non-significant differences (p > 0.005) for the hip strength variables except for hip ABD strength. The correlation study showed low-moderate effect sizes for hip ABD (in both the contralateral and homolateral limb) and AD strength (only the homolateral limb) with YBT and ankle dorsiflexion. However, when performing a regression model, only right hip ABD significantly predicted right limb YBT scores (β = 0.592, p = 0.048). The present study indicated that, although both hip ABD and AD strength correlate with balance and ankle mobility with low-moderate effect sizes, only hip ABD strength was found to significantly predict YBT scores. Therefore, the potential role of hip ABD strength in particular, but also hip AD strength, for monitoring and enhancing balance and ankle mobility outcomes, should be taken into consideration when designing and implementing preventive strategies for lower-limb injuries.

    Abstract Background: Chronic kidney disease is an exponentially growing medical and economic worldwide problem. There are specific elements used to assess patient's functional capacity loss and overall deterioration in order to determine the patient's clinical status, and muscle impairment is one of the most common. It is therefore necessary to develop reliable and applicable methods to determine muscle impairment in patients with chronic kidney disease.
    Methods: This is a prospective, nonexperimental, descriptive methodological investigation performed in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study analyzes the reliability and validity of muscle strength assessments performed with handheld dynamometry in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.
    Results: Results show overall high reliability and validity in the assessment of muscle strength of the lower limbs.
    Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess handheld dynamometry in patients undergoing hemodialysis, presenting promising results with a relatively affordable and easily applicable method.

    Abstract Sexual health is crucial for overall well-being, and dyspareunia (genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder) is a common sexual disorder that can be addressed through multimodal physiotherapy approaches, including education. However, it's unclear whether socioeconomic factors influence the effectiveness of educational therapies for dyspareunia. The dataset presented in this article was used in a pilot randomized controlled trial that aimed to investigate any potential correlation between socioeconomic status and the outcomes of a therapeutic educational program for dyspareunia, evaluating the impact of a therapeutic educational program on 69 women. The data measured pain intensity, pain-related outcomes, and sexual functioning over time. In February 2022, socioeconomic status measurements (age, educational level, household monthly income, and job rank) were collected. The analysis used Pearson's correlation index and Spearman's rho statistic to assess any correlations between these variables. The results of the correlation analysis indicated that there was no significant correlation between any of the outcomes of the intervention and the socioeconomic status measurements. The data analysis findings suggest that a therapeutic educational program can effectively improve pain intensity, pain-related outcomes, and sexual functioning in patients with persistent pelvic pain, regardless of their socioeconomic status. These findings have policy implications, as they suggest that education is a powerful tool that can improve sexuality outcomes for patients with dyspareunia, regardless of their socioeconomic background. The dataset contains the collected raw data, including partial participant demographics data and scores categorized by question group, as well as scores for each participant at each time point (before and after the intervention). This dataset can be used to further analyze the results and the study can be potentially replicated.

    Abstract Robotic-assisted surgery has become widely adopted for its ability to expand the indications for minimally invasive procedures. This technology aims to improve precision, accuracy, and outcomes while reducing complications, blood loss, and recovery time. Successful implementation of a robotic surgery program requires careful initial design and a focus on maintenance and expansion to maximize its benefits. This article presents a comprehensive study conducted at a University Hospital on the robotic surgery program from December 2012 to December 2022. Data from hospital databases, including patient demographics, surgical department, surgical time, operating room occupancy, and primary diagnosis, were analyzed. The analysis covered various time periods (surgical sessions, weeks, months, and years) to assess the program's evolution over time. Over the 10-year period, a total of 1847 robotic-assisted interventions were performed across five surgical services. Urology accounted for 57% of the cases, general surgery 17%, gynecology 16%, otorhinolaryngology 6%, and thoracic surgery 4%. The most frequently performed procedures included robotic prostatectomies (643 cases), hysterectomies (261 cases), and colposacropexies (210 cases). The weekly volume of interventions showed a notable increase, rising from 2 cases per week in 2013-2014 cases in 2022. Moreover, the average surgical duration per intervention exhibited a progressive decrease from 275 min in 2013 to 184 min in 2022. This study highlights the potential of a well-managed robotic surgery program as a viable alternative to conventional surgical approaches. Effective coordination and resource utilization contribute to the program's efficiency. The findings underscore the successful integration of robotic-assisted surgery in diverse surgical specialties.
