Caffeine’s influence on vertical jump height: a real-life collegiate student-athlete approach
CONCLUSIONS: A 5 mg/kg caffeine dose, compliant with NCAA thresholds, did not enhance vertical jump performance in habituated collegiate athletes, challenging prior assertions of its universal ergogenicity for ballistic tasks. While sex differences in baseline performance persisted, caffeine did not modulate these disparities, implicating neuromuscular and anthropometric factors as primary determinants. The absence of ergogenic… →

Effectiveness of Nurse-Led Psychoeducation on Knowledge and Psychological Distress in Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiological Imaging: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: Nurse-led psychoeducation effectively improved knowledge and reduced anxiety in patients with cancer undergoing radiological imaging. Integrating such interventions into pre-imaging protocols can enhance patient preparedness and reduce psychological distress. Further research should explore the long-term effects and adaptability of this intervention in diverse healthcare settings. →

MP-SfM: Monocular Surface Priors for Robust Structure-from-Motion
MP-SfM redefines classical Structure-from-Motion by tightly integrating monocular depth and surface normal priors into incremental SfM, enabling robust 3D reconstruction from sparse, unstructured image collections. Key Highlights: Monocular Depth + Surface Normal Fusion – Augments traditional SfM with priors from off-the-shelf deep networks (e.g., Metric3D-v2, DSINE), eliminating the need for three-view overlap. Two-View Track Reconstruction – Enables… →

Kinesio Taping, Wrist Splinting, and Epicondylitis Bandaging in Managing Lateral Epicondylitis: A Prospective Comparative Study
BACKGROUND We assessed the treatment outcomes of patients assigned by sequential randomization to 3 groups: epicondylitis bandaging, wrist dorsiflexion splinting, and kinesio taping. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-four patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis were included in the study and randomly divided into 3 groups (n=18): epicondylitis bandage, wrist dorsiflexion splint, and kinesio tape. Patients were evaluated… →

Internal drainage of subretinal fluid during scleral buckling with 27-Gauge wide angle viewing system and flute needle for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
CONCLUSION: Although limited by the small sample size, this study suggests that internal drainage of subretinal fluid during scleral buckling with 27-gauge WAVS and flute needle showed advantages superior to external drainage of subretinal fluid in scleral buckling surgery, including increased efficiency and decreased amount of SRF, shortened duration of persistent subretinal fluid, and reduced… →

A study on the safety and efficacy of a robotic-assisted navigation and positioning system in CT-guided percutaneous biopsy of thoracic and abdominal tumors
CONCLUSION: The robotic puncture navigation system improves the success rate of localization and reduces the number of puncture adjustments and CT scans; therefore, it is superior to the traditional step-by-step puncture method. →
