CONCLUSIONS: Active KHFAC stimulation, particularly at 40 kHz, delivered through a novel stimulator, effectively increased the PPT and HPT without affecting tactile or motor outcomes, inducing mild skin-related adverse effects. These findings have potential implications for people with pain-related pathologies. →
Addressing abdominal obesity requires multifaceted strategies, with physical activity and diet playing a pivotal role. The objective of this study was to assess alterations in body composition, adipokine concentrations, insulin resistance parameters, and lipid metabolism in males with abdominal obesity following two distinct interventions: exercise alone and exercise combined with a specific diet. The study… →
Machine learning (ML) engineers face many challenges while working on end-to-end ML projects. The typical workflow involves repetitive and time-consuming tasks like data cleaning, feature engineering, model tuning, and eventually deploying models into production. Although these steps are critical to building accurate and robust models, they often turn into a bottleneck for innovation. The workload… →
CONCLUSIONS: Major features of the study design include formal definitions of conditions and outcomes, standardized diagnostic and treatment protocols, a delayed treatment arm, masked outcome examinations, and the incorporation of objective eye movement recording and brain imaging as outcome measures. CONCUSS will establish best practices in the clinical care of CONC-CI. The objective eye movement… →
CONCLUSIONS: Among motivated smokers provided with very brief advice to quit, the offer of the Smoke Free app did not have a detectable benefit for cessation compared with follow-up only. However, the app increased quit rates when smokers randomized to receive the app downloaded it. →
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This nonrandomized clinical trial found that patients receiving IHT had a lower likelihood of utilizing hospital-based psychiatric services and spent fewer inpatient days, suggesting that IHT is a viable alternative to IT. →
CONCLUSION: Almond consumption did not affect arterial stiffness, retinal microvasculature calibers, or serum and plasma markers for endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in participants with prediabetics, while BP and BP variability were improved. →
CONCLUSION: Curcumin as an effective and safe adjuvant therapy, ameliorated the autoimmune activity and inflammation in SLE patients via reducing anti-ds DNA and IL-6 levels. →
Ketogenic diet (KD) is an excess fat, enough protein, and minimal carbohydrate diet. The high fat content in KD lowers the oesophageal sphincter tone, slows gastric emptying, and decreases intestinal transit time. The primary aim of the current clinical trial was to study the effect of L-carnitine supplementation on gastric emptying in children with drug… →
INTRODUCTION: Recurrent shoulder dislocations often cause attrition of the labrum and progressive loss of the anterior bony contour of the glenoid. Treatment options for this pathology involve either soft tissue repair or bony augmentation procedure. The optimal management for patients with shoulder instability with subcritical bone loss remains unknown and current clinical practice is highly… →
