Although intra-articular corticosteroid injections are commonly used, variable outcomes have prompted interest in targeted injection techniques, alternative injectates, and non-invasive therapies. This narrative review summarizes findings from 49 randomized controlled trials evaluating non-surgical treatments for adhesive capsulitis, including corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid (HA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), pulsed radiofrequency (PRF), extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), hydrodilatation (HD), suprascapular nerve block (SSNB), and targeted injection strategies based on anatomical involvement. Evidence suggests that targeting sites like the rotator interval or applying multimodal strategies may enhance early symptom relief. SSNB has also been explored as a pain-relieving adjunct to intra-articular injections. HA offers a steroid-sparing option with comparable long-term outcomes, while PRP may benefit chronic cases via regenerative effects. HD facilitates early mobility through mechanical capsular disruption, while ESWT and PRF offer alternative mechanisms targeting pain modulation and tissue restoration. Tailoring treatment to disease stage and anatomical involvement, rather than applying generalized approaches, may improve outcomes. Standardization of therapeutic protocols and further high-quality trials assessing long-term efficacy are essential to guide clinical decision-making in the management of adhesive capsulitis.","PeriodicalId":17305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Formosan Medical Association","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144883095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the relationship between semantic processing and executive function is important for the autistic population due to the significant impacts of both domains.Methods: 54 autistic boys and 56 age-, handedness-, and IQ-matched non-autistic boys were assessed with semantic judgment tasks during fMRI scans, assessments using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB), and evaluations with the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function. Regression analysis was conducted to explore correlations between neural activation during semantic processing and executive functions.Results: Neuroimaging identified a significant age (child, adolescent) x group (autistic, non-autistic) interaction in the left anterior prefrontal cortex. This neural alteration exhibited a negative association with executive functions in autistic children, whereas a positive correlation was observed in non-autistic children and adolescents.Conclusions: Our findings implicate a developmental alteration in the left anterior prefrontal cortex related to semantic processing in autistic youths, with these changes differentially associated with executive functions across autistic and non-autistic groups. These findings elucidate the interplay between the semantic networks and executive functions in autistic youths.","PeriodicalId":17305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Formosan Medical Association","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144859338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, the primary surgical interventions for ICH are traditional craniotomy and minimally invasive surgery (MIS).Aim: This study was conducted to compare surgical outcomes between craniotomy and MIS in age-stratified patients.Methods: This retrospective study included patients with spontaneous ICH undergoing craniotomy or MIS between January 2013 and December 2018. The diagnosis of ICH was confirmed by head computed tomography. We included patients with ICH in the subcortical, putamen, or thalamic region with volume >15 mL. We excluded patients with secondary ICH due to tumors or vascular lesions, those with coagulopathy and using anticoagulants. The selected patients were stratified by age into younger (<65 years) and older (≥65 years) groups.Results: The study cohort comprised 169 patients. The younger and older groups included 105 (62 %) and 64 (38 %) patients, respectively. Craniotomy and MIS were performed in 55 and 50 patients in the younger and 37 and 27 patients in the older group, respectively. Between-group comparisons revealed significant age-based differences in Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores 1 and 6 months after surgery (p = 0.0067 and p = 0.0001) and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores 6 months after surgery (p = 0.0372). In the older group, 6-month GOS scores were significantly lower for patients undergoing craniotomy (p = 0.0332).Conclusion: Hemorrhagic stroke carries high risks of mortality and morbidity. Age is a crucial factor that influences recovery. MIS yields favorable outcomes and should be prioritized for spontaneous ICH, particularly older patients.","PeriodicalId":17305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Formosan Medical Association","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144859276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
