BACKGROUND Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) often stems from neuromuscular imbalances, particularly vastus medialis obliques (VMO) dysfunction impairing patellar tracking. Research is shifting toward integrated rehabilitation strategies, such as combining hip adduction with squats to enhance VMO recruitment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty participants with PFPS were randomized to traditional squatting (SQU, n=15) or squatting with hip… →

CONCLUSIONS: IOS measures improved after the exercise intervention, suggesting physiological adaptations beyond skeletal muscle conditioning that resulted in improved airway mechanics and ventilation distribution in the peripheral lung, while other lung function measures remained largely unchanged. →

CONCLUSIONS: Pre-visit CAHT combined with a structured, copy-ready summary substantially increased the completeness with which predefined screening-relevant information was transferred into clinical documentation while also suggesting high acceptance among both patients and physicians. These findings support further evaluation in a larger trial assessing workflow impact and clinical impact. →

CONCLUSION: Eplerenone accelerates SRF resolution and enhances choriocapillaris perfusion in acute CSCR, although visual outcomes remain comparable to placebo. Early MR antagonism may offer anatomical and microvascular benefits in CSCR management. →

CONCLUSIONS: In patients with concomitant coronary artery disease undergoing TAVR, deferral of PCI reduced bleeding risk and appeared safe across all SS categories. Deferral of PCI in patients with more complex coronary artery disease (SS >17) was associated with higher risk for the ischemic composite outcome. These post hoc findings require confirmation in randomized trials.… →

CONCLUSIONS: An occlusion-focused diagnostic approach was associated with substantially higher rates of immediate invasive management and earlier identification of patients with adjudicated ACO. →

BACKGROUND: A multidisciplinary approach is viewed as the primary treatment strategy for fibromyalgia (FM). Therapeutic exercise is an important component of this approach. Hypnotic cognitive therapy (HYP-CT), a relatively new intervention strategy, has not traditionally been incorporated in FM treatment, although it has shown beneficial effects in other chronic pain conditions. This study aims to… →

CONCLUSIONS: The self-management intervention effectively improved HbA1c, eGFR, SBP and LDL-C among T2DM patients at high risk of DKD. These findings suggest that integrating structured self-management into routine diabetes care may help improve modifiable risk factors and support early DKD prevention. →

CONCLUSIONS: Very few RCTs have been conducted in FASD, and interventions targeting cognitive functioning are needed. The data reported here suggest that choline supplementation has long-lasting neurodevelopmental benefits, especially in non-verbal IQ and working memory for individuals with FASD. →

CONCLUSIONS: Both i-PRF combined with vitamin C and i-PRF alone appear to be effective regenerative scaffolds, demonstrating comparable clinical and radiographic outcomes in regenerative endodontic procedures. →
