BACKGROUNDRapid diagnosis to facilitate urgent intervention is critical for treatment of acute spinal cord injury (SCI). We hypothesized that a multi-analyte blood biomarker would support point-of-care SCI diagnosis, correlate with injury severity, and predict long-term neurologic outcomes.METHODSDroplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assays were designed to amplify differentially hypomethylated genomic loci in spinal cord tissue. An optimized…
Acute exercise is suggested to elicit benefits for cool executive function, but the sensitivity of its hot components, such as risky decision making, to exercise remains unclear. However, improvements in risky decision making are relevant due to its predictive value for engagement in unhealthy behaviors in young adults in particular. We investigated the acute effects…
INTRODUCTION: Chlorophyllin (CHL) effectively decreases the side effects of radiotherapy (RT) by scavenging radiation-induced free radicals and reactive oxygen species in preclinical trials. This study aims to assess the efficacy of oral CHL for the treatment of brain radionecrosis in patients with diffuse glioma.
In March 2024, ponatinib received accelerated FDA approval for the treatment of newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL) in combination with chemotherapy based on the Phase 3 PhALLCON study (NCT03589326), which demonstrated a higher rate of minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative complete remission (CR) at the end of induction (EOI) with ponatinib…
CONCLUSIONS: Integrating traditional care with the modern healthcare system significantly increased TB case detection in high-burden settings. This approach not only enhances current TB control strategies but also has potential applications in managing other chronic diseases in resource-limited areas. Future research should evaluate the cost-effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability of this integrative model. Trial registration Unique…
BACKGROUND: Hypertension presents as a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, with approximately two-thirds of the global hypertensive population concentrated in low- and middle-income nations. Sarpagandha Mishran is an Ayurveda intervention utilized for the management of hypertension. The objective of the study is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of Sarpgandha Mishran in the…
Advancements in emergency medicine and critical care have significantly improved survival rates for patients with severe acquired brain injuries(sABI), subsequently increasing the prevalence of disorders of consciousness (DoC) such as Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome (UWS) and Minimally Conscious State (MCS). However, the assessment of conscious states relies on the observation of behavioral responses, the interpretation of…
CONCLUSIONS: DNS is superior to conventional core exercises in enhancing core muscle contractility and standing postural control in CLBP patients, showing potential to reduce pain and improve disability. Its mechanism may involve the enhancement of proprioceptive feedback, particularly when visual feedback is blocked.
CONCLUSIONS: The experimental 10% pregabalin gel reduced dental sensitivity and did not interfere with bleaching results.
CONCLUSION: We conclude that the application of Earmuff is a fruitful method for preterm neonates to improve and stabilize the physiological parameters and behavioral response.
