The technical and clinical success rates of both groups were similar based on long-term follow-up (p > 0.05). WNBA treatment with the shelf technique is safe and effective. The α angle is a useful parameter to evaluate the performance of the shelf technique. The shelf technique is more suitable for WNBAs with a narrow α angle.

Prolonged living with chronic illness and disability expands the discussion of end-of-life conversation because of the complex role of intercommunication among patient, family, and healthcare staff. Little is known about such interaction from participants' different perspectives. This qualitative case study examined end-of-life conversation among patient, family, and staff during long-term hospitalization in a neurological rehabilitation department. After the patient's death, 18 participants responded to in-depth semi-structured interviews 16 healthcare staff and two family members (the patient's wife and brother). In addition, we used the wife's autoethnographic documentation of her experiences during end-of-life conversation. Thematic analysis produced three themes (1) The Rehabilitation Department's Mission - Toward Life or Death? (2) The Staff's Perception of the Patient; (3) Containing Death End-of-life Conversation from Both Sides of the Bed. These themes represented participants' different perspee with disabilities and their families on processes related to parting and death. The study findings emphasize the importance of practitioners' training to accept and openly discuss death as an inseparable part of life-long disability, and the implementation of this stance during end-of
