Background: Dysmenorrhea, categorized as primary (PD) or secondary (SD), significantly affects females during their reproductive years, impairing quality of life, performance, and social relationships. Alongside medical treatment, exercise and probiotics are complementary measures for managing PD and promoting health. This study examined the impact of probiotic supplementation and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on PD severity,… →
Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperexcitation (PSH) refers to a clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden increase in sympathetic excitability caused by severe brain injury. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness and practicality of combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with medication to treat PSH and employ non-linear electroencephalography (EEG) to assess changes in cortical activation post-intervention.… →
OpenCV is widely used for image and video processing. Unlike static images, videos consist of multiple frames played in sequence, requiring careful handling of frame rates and smooth processing. This adds complexity, demanding efficient computation and dynamic frame management. Reading a video file requires processing each frame individually, and then displaying or storing it as… →
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social interaction and repetitive behaviors (RBs). Therapies specifically targeting RBs have been underexplored despite advances in understanding their neurobiological basis. This study aims to evaluate whether high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can reduce dysfunctional RBs in autistic children and investigate… →
CONCLUSION: In patients with suspected CCS, including typical angina, atypical angina and nonangina chest pain with abnormal electrocardiogram results, the use of CCTA as a first-line diagnostic test can reduce the unnecessary incidence of ICA and hospitalization costs without increasing the incidence of MACE. A risk prediction model of obstructive CAD was established on the… →
Our study aims to investigate the effect of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on microRNA-155 (miR-155) in the granulation tissue of patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and its correlation with wound healing. A total of sixty patients diagnosed with DFUs were randomly assigned to either the NPWT group (n = 40) or the… →
INTRODUCTION: Delirium, a common neuropsychiatric condition in hospitalised older adults, is associated with increased mortality, longer hospital stays and cognitive decline. The potential of melatonin to prevent delirium by improving sleep patterns and regulating circadian rhythms is promising, though existing evidence is mixed. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of melatonin in preventing delirium… →
