CONCLUSIONS: Coconut oil treatment significantly modulated the oral microbiome and reduced inflammatory markers in patients with periodontitis, suggesting its potential as a natural and effective adjunct in periodontal therapy.
CONCLUSION: Diaphragmatic breathing and CBT-I interventions improved sleep quality indicators among older adults.
CONCLUSIONS: This study is an initial step towards describing a neurological signature of reducing emotional distress in women with chronic pelvic pain. Specifically, FC changes between the cerebellum and the amygdala and sensory areas appears to be associated with a reduction in pain and the effects of that pain. Future, larger clinical trials are warranted…
BackgroundDespite the widespread presence of sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) among causes of low back pain, SIJD is still overlooked.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effect of pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques (PNF) in patients with SIJD. MethodsThis prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled study was conducted between December 2023 and March 2024. Fourty patients diagnosed with SIJD,…
CONCLUSION: The findings of the present study showed that the intervention based on social marketing increases awareness, perceived risk, and the demand for Pap smear tests among women. By influencing women’s intention and behavior, they can be led to participate in screening. For this purpose, a multifaceted intervention should be designed based on the barriers…
INTRODUCTION: Postoperative delirium occurs in up to 40% of older surgical patients and has been associated with prolonged hospital stays, long-term cognitive impairment and increased 1-year postoperative mortality. Postoperative sleep disturbances may increase the risk of delirium, but studies investigating pharmacotherapies to improve postoperative sleep to prevent delirium remain limited. Suvorexant is a selective antagonist…
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have identified inequities in the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures used with community-dwelling people living with dementia (PlwDs) or people living with mild cognitive impairment (PlwMCIs) depending on the urban vs. rural location of their residence. Whether those differences in health care and health services utilization still exist for people residing in shared-housing…
CONCLUSION: Acute group fitness classes induce age-dependent alterations in blood pressure, but not in arterial stiffness or cardiovagal modulation. While the overall cardiovascular effects were generally consistent, differences in autonomic recovery were observed between exercise modes, with prolonged effects seen after indoor cycling. This suggests that exercise prescription should consider both age and exercise modality,…

INTRODUCTION: Older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) respond poorly to standard induction therapy. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and histone-deacetylases (HDACs) are key regulators of gene expression in cells and have been investigated as important therapeutic targets. However, their effects remains unclear as induction therapy for AML.
