CONCLUSION: Conventional overnight preoperative PPN seems effective to induce and support improved muscle protein metabolism in patients aimed at major cancer surgery while preoperative oral carbohydrate loading, according to ERAS-protocols, was ineffective to improve skeletal muscle catabolism and should therefore not be recommended before major cancer surgery. Trial registration Clinical trials.gov: NCT05080816, Registered June 10th…
INTRODUCTION: Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP) is the most common cause of shoulder pain. Currently, exercise is proposed as the first-line treatment for patients suffering from RCRSP. However, adherence to therapeutic exercise programmes can be poor in the long term in a home setting. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of…
CONCLUSIONS: Both WaveLight EX500 and Amaris 1050S LASIK showed excellent refractive and visual outcomes. In addition, the WaveLight group showed minimal spherical and coma aberrations when compared to the AMARIS group.
BACKGROUND: Tinzaparin, a low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH), has shown anti-neoplastic properties in animal models and in in vitro studies of human cancer cell lines. The reduction of CA-125 levels during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) co-varies with the prognosis; the larger the decrease in CA-125, the better the prognosis.
To investigate the clinical assessment of dual-enhanced antiplatelet therapy after cerebrovascular intervention to reduce the risk of cerebral infarction recurrence, and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of cerebral infarction recurrence risk. 202 patients with cerebral infarction who underwent cerebrovascular intervention in Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital from January 2018 to October 2022…
CONCLUSION: According to subjective participant feedback, Eyesi outperformed TDO in fundus observation, operational practice, and theoretical learning. It effectively equips undergraduates with fundus examination skills, potentially promoting the use of direct ophthalmoscopes in primary medical institutions.
CONCLUSIONS: External NMES was an effective and complementary method in reducing urinary symptoms and improving PFMS, QoL, sexual function, PSI, and satisfaction level in women with UUI.
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality among gynecologic cancers, primarily because it typically is diagnosed at a late stage and because of the development of chemoresistance in recurrent disease. Improving outcomes in women with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is a substantial unmet need. Activation of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) by cortisol has been shown to…
CONCLUSIONS: The majority of patients treated with cemiplimab reported improvement or maintenance in GHS/QoL and functioning while maintaining a low symptom burden.
CONCLUSIONS: The follicle width and length are effective parameters for evaluating the efficacy of type A botulinum toxin treatment for AGA. Ultrasound revealed that the changes in follicles at the vertex occurred earlier than those in the left frontal area following treatment. Additionally, the changes in follicles were detected earlier than the changes in hair…
