BACKGROUND: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa that is characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, nasal itching, and rhinorrhoea. In recent years, acupoint herbal patching (AHP) therapy has gained a growing interest as a potential management option for AR. Thi…

BACKGROUND: ABO-incompatible liver transplantation (ABOi-LT) is increasingly used to overcome donor shortage. Evidence about disadvantage and advantage in comparison with ABO-compatible liver transplantation (ABOc-LT) needs to be performed in the early and late periods. Herein, We compared the short-term and long-term…

BACKGROUND: The impact of workplace interventions on the outcome of occupational asthma is not well understood. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of workplace interventions on occupational asthma. SEARCH METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL); MEDLINE (PubMed); EMBAS…

BACKGROUND: Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is a major complication of preterm birth. Large haemorrhages are associated with a high risk of disability and hydrocephalus. Instability of blood pressure and cerebral blood flow are postulated as causative factors. Another mechanism may involve reperfusion damage from ox…

BACKGROUND: The integration of HIV/AIDS and maternal, neonatal, child health and nutrition services (MNCHN), including family planning (FP) is recognized as a key strategy to reduce maternal and child mortality and control the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of service integrati…

BACKGROUND: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a major complication of preterm birth. Large hemorrhages are associated with a high risk of disability and hydrocephalus. Instability of blood pressure and cerebral blood flow are postulated as causative factors. Another mechanism may involve reperfusion damage from oxyg…

INTRODUCTION: Arthralgia is a frequent but often overlooked symptom in patients with psoriasis (PsO) and may represent an early manifestation of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). OBJECTIVE: To provide a practical overview aiming to support dermatologists in the identification and management of arthralgia in PsO. METHODS: An…

Following sleeve gastrectomy (SG), relative VO₂peak improves, yet absolute VO₂peak declines at all reported time points, revealing a paradoxical dissociation between apparent and actual aerobic capacity. This systematic review synthesizes very limited evidence from seven observational reports (n =&…

PURPOSE: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary program designed to improve perioperative outcomes and quality of care, with nurses playing a central role throughout the perioperative pathway. This article aimed to explore the main barriers and facilitators perceived by nurses in the implementati…

This report highlights an atypical case of acute hemorrhagic Leukoencephalitis (AHLE) in a 73-year-old male, contributing valuable insights into the disease's progression in older adults. AHLE, a rare and often fatal central nervous system disorder typically affecting younger individuals, with a median age of 33. Our p…

BACKGROUND: Vasa vasorum (VVs) is a Latin word representing vessels of vessels. VVs are usually found on the adventitia of the parent vessel and infrequently reach the media and intima, depending on the size and type of the parent vessels and physiological and pathological conditions. The VVs include arteries, capillar…

Experimental analysis of functionally related genes is key to understanding biological phenomena. The selection of genes to study is a crucial and challenging step, as it requires extensive knowledge of the literature and diverse biomedical data resources. Although software tools that predict relationships between gene…

Circulating neutrophil counts are reduced both in healthy autoantibody-positive individuals and in patients with type 1 diabetes, which may be related on cell-specific autoimmunity. This paper was written to give an update on roles of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Different research searc…

Jiawei Xiaoyao San (JWXYS) has shown excellent clinical efficacy in anxiety disorder, but has not yet attracted widespread attention. The animal experiments, clinical trials and mechanism studies of JWXYS were reviewed in this article, which may provide a reference for developing new anxiolytic drugs based on this pres…

INTRODUCTION: The axillary artery is a reliable inflow vessel when addressing pathology of the aortic root and aortic arch that may preclude standard central cannulation strategies. This narrative review examines the use of the axillary artery in cardiac surgery. Anatomy, indications for use, cannulation strategies, an…

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Advances in circadian biology have delineated the link between perturbed biological clock and metabolic diseases. Circadian disturbances are associated with the onset, progression and severity of diabetes mellitus. METHODS: We conducted a literature survey using the key terms - circadian, diabetes,…

From the viewpoint of behavioral medicine, analyzing various factors that determine physical activity (PA) is necessary to promote PA participation. In this study we aimed to identify the impact of constructs within the social ecological model (SEM) on PA within the Korean population. We reviewed journal articles and d…

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) covers a group of neurodevelopmental disorders with complex genetic background. Several genetic mutations, epigenetic alterations, copy number variations and single nucleotide polymorphisms have been reported that cause ASD or modify its phenotype. Among signaling pathways tha…

Selective constraint and pressures upon the host tissues often signifies a beneficial microbiome in any species. In the context of oral microbiome this displays a healthy microbial cosmos resisting the colonization and helps in rendering protection. This review highlights the endeavors of the oral microbiome beyond the…

Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) with osteoclast-like giant cells is a rare entity. We present the case of an elderly woman who presented with a pink-purple dome-shaped nodule with central hyperkeratotic crust. Biopsy revealed a cellular, dermal-based tumor comprised of spindle, oval, and osteoclast-like giant cells with p…
