CONCLUSION: IASTM applied to the plantar fascia of individuals with pes planus have immediate effects on dynamic balance when compared to no intervention and percussive massage even within a small sample size.
CONCLUSION: Intervention in accordance with DP promoted resulted in favorable outcomes for clinical effects on specific functional disability pain intensity, and symmetry index of the lower limbs. These findings suggest that intervention based on DP may be effective in the management of chronic knee pain in BJJPs.
CONCLUSION: Scapula mobilization technique in subjects presenting with cervicalgia and a positive ULNT1 significantly appears to help improve the neural mechanosensitivity of the median nerve and pain.
CONCLUSION: The analysis of results showed that conventional CMT combined with PT could be more effective in improving the clinical outcomes and electrodiagnostic findings of patients with CTS compared to conventional PT only in the long term. Therefore, it can be suggested as a proper therapeutic method in CTS.
CONCLUSION: Inflammation is an important aspect of PD. This study explored the inflammatory status after a mind-body exercise. Further studies need to extend our findings to confirm the effect of Qigong in people with PD.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that carrageenan, a common food additive, may contribute to insulin resistance and subclinical inflammation in overweight individuals through pro-inflammatory mechanisms in the gut. Further investigation into the long-term health impacts of carrageenan and other food additives is warranted.
INTRODUCTION: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) undergoing dialysis exhibit a higher mortality rate compared with those with other conditions, primarily due to vascular complications including coronary artery disease, heart failure and stroke. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, a type of drug for T2D, have reportedly decreased cardiovascular and renal events in patients with heart…
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that Len/Dex/DLIs in second line treatment after upfront tandem auto/allo HCT in relapsed MM patients remains feasible and safe. With a potential correlation between induction chemotherapy and DLI responses, more potent induction regimens together with higher doses of DLIs should be considered in the future.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be time-consuming, expensive, or poorly tolerated by patients with liver lesions. This is a prospective clinical trial designed to evaluate if contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used to differentiate focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) from hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) with similar accuracy compared with hepatobiliary agent MRI.Institutional review board approval was obtained…
CONCLUSIONS: In this exploratory study, there was no superior ORR at d28 demonstrated in the MSC group compared with the control. However, MSCs showed a gradual treatment effect at a median of 2 weeks. Patients who completed 8 infusions may benefit from adding MSCs to one conventional second-line agent, especially those with gut involvement. MSCs…
