CONCLUSION: Both vildagliptin and metformin are effective in improving glycemic control in newly diagnosed T2D patients, as evidenced by reductions in FBG and HbA1c levels. Additionally, both drugs significantly reduced the HSI, body weight, and BMI, with metformin showing a more pronounced effect on weight and BMI. Both vildagliptin and metformin effectively decreased hepatic steatosis…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Nicotinamide is a coenzyme involved in cellular oxidation-reduction reactions that can inhibit Class III histone deacetylases (HDACs) or sirtuins. HDAC inhibition can affect numerous therapeutic pathways, including tau phosphorylation. We tested the hypothesis that nicotinamide treatment could reduce tau phosphorylation in early Alzheimer disease (AD).
BACKGROUND: Dysfunctional depressogenic cognitions are considered a key factor in the etiology and maintenance of depression. In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the current gold-standard psychotherapeutic treatment for depression, cognitive restructuring techniques are employed to address dysfunctional cognitions. However, high drop-out and non-response rates suggest a need to boost the efficacy of CBT for depression. This…
CONCLUSION: Cryobiopsy of mediastinal and hilar lesions improves the diagnostic yield compared with EBUS-TBNA while maintaining a favourable safety profile.
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of fire needle plus cupping (FC) combined with oral famciclovir and gabapentin for the treatment of acute-phase herpes zoster (AHZ). This study was conducted as a superiority, randomized controlled trial in which 84 patients with AHZ who met the diagnostic criteria were selected and randomly assigned…
CONCLUSION: PT, when used in conjunction with conventional rehabilitation methods, significantly enhances motor function in children with CP. The study advocates for further extensive research to validate and understand the broader implications of PT in CP treatment.
CONCLUSION: Mat Pilates classes for people with Parkinson’s with mild and moderate degrees proved to be effective in the short term in the hand grip strength of the right hand, and in the extension and flexion of the left legs, and positive effects in the long term in the strength of extension of the right…
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) causes intermittent hypoxia, increased production of reactive oxygen species, and inflammation, which may elevate morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of the intraoral appliance (IOA) as a treatment for OSA when it comes to the modulation of inflammatory markers and…
CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary findings suggest that a telemedicine-based approach to SARS-CoV-2 testing is feasible and could be integrated into existing hospital data infrastructures. This model has the potential for broader application in medical care, offering a scalable solution that could improve user satisfaction and treatment quality in the future.
CONCLUSIONS: The data obtained in the present experiments show that the new approach to measure retinal oxygen extraction is valid and reproducible in healthy volunteers.
