Carolyn Geason-Beissel/MIT SMR | Wellcome Collection Florence Nightingale may be best remembered as the epitome of a kind, caring nurse, but she was also a force for disruptive innovation in health care. Three distinct elements of her work — communicating data compellingly, publicizing clear and simple instructions, and expanding professionalized training — carry timeless lessons… →

BackgroundDual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and potent P2Y(12) inhibitors such as ticagrelor effectively reduces ischemic events but increases bleeding risk. In patients requiring long-term DAPT, switching from ticagrelor to a thienopyridine is often considered to reduce bleeding risk or address other clinical concerns. However, such switching may cause a transient reduction in platelet inhibition,… →

CONCLUSIONS: The reduction in myalgia following treatment suggests that both RPB exercises and ST are equally effective. However, considering the cost and duration of myalgia therapy, comprehensive care incorporating relaxation techniques may be a preferable first-line approach rather than ST alone. →

CONCLUSION: Oxytocin enhances positive maternal emotions in PPD and may represent a neurobiological link between PPD and reduced positive caregiving. Stimulating endogenous oxytocin release, such as skin-to-skin contact, could help strengthen the mother-infant relationship in PPD. Future research should clarify oxytocin’s therapeutic potential, taking into account administration context and PPD severity. →

CONCLUSION: The question of whether aerobic exercise promotes cognition and fatigue after brain injury remains unanswered. This randomized controlled pilot study and its preliminary findings indicate greater improvements in executive processing speed in the aerobic exercise group, while more automatized attention speed improved more in the control group. The experiences from this study might facilitate… →

CONCLUSION: Treadmill training may be effective in reducing percentile BMI and lower limb mobility in children with ASD. These findings support its use for combined weight management and motor improvement. But the findings indicated the need for future research with larger samples and longer follow-up to clarify its clinical significance. →

CONCLUSION: AT demonstrated higher efficacy than LBE, yielding greater improvements in motor development and QoL, as well as more pronounced enhancements in sensory integration among young children with ASD. Thereupon, it is worthwhile for physical rehabilitation practitioners to include the AT in the intervention plans for children with ASD. →

CONCLUSION: Heat-sensitive moxibustion could alleviate psychological craving in patients with methamphetamine addiction (withdrawal stage), possibly through complex regulatory mechanisms involving multiple brain regions. →

CONCLUSION: Compared with the high-frequency twirling manipulation acupuncture at Lianquan (CV23), the low-frequency twirling manipulation acupuncture has a better effect in improving the language function, neurological function and quality of life in patients with post-ischemic stroke aphasia. →
