INTRODUCTION: The alpha lipoic acid (ALA) may control and limit the production of free radicals, influencing the development of pathologies such cancer or central sensitization diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms are still not elucidated. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present review is to contrast the antiox…

Paediatric anaesthesia and paediatric regional anaesthesia are intertwined. Almost all surgeries unless contradicted could be and should be supplemented with a regional block. The main objective of this review is to elaborate on the recent advances of the central neuraxial blocks, such as application of ultrasound guid…

Osteopathic Medicine and Primary Care strives to promote and advance research and scholarly work within the fields of osteopathic medicine and primary care. In so doing, OMPC welcomes submissio…

The central granular cell odontogenic tumor (CGCOT) is a rare, benign, slowly growing, odontogenic neoplasm. CGCOT was not considered as a distinct entity in the WHO classification reported on 2017. This study reports a rare case of CGCOT involving the right side of maxillary anterior region of a 39-year-old white woma…

BACKGROUND: Many developing countries are lagging behind in reporting epidemiological data for individual central nervous system (CNS) tumors. This paper aimed to elicit patterns for the epidemiology of individual World Health Organization (WHO) classified CNS tumors in countries registered by WHO as "developing". MAT…

At the cortical level, the central auditory neural system (CANS) includes primary and secondary areas. So far, much research has focused on recording fronto-central auditory evoked potentials/responses (P1-N1-P2), originating mainly from the primary auditory areas, to explore the neural processing in the auditory corte…

The peripherally inserted central catheter is a common technology employed in the intravenous therapy of neonates. This integrative review was performed with the objective to investigate and analyze the evidence available in the literature regarding this technology. The databases searched included the Latin American an…

Hearing loss places a substantial burden on medical resources across the world and impacts quality of life for those affected. Further, it can occur peripherally and/or centrally. With many possible causes of hearing loss, there is scope for investigating the underlying mechanisms involved. Various signaling pathways c…

(1) Background: Over the last decade, misuse and diversion of medications has appeared to be increasingly concerning phenomena, including a range of different molecules. As current knowledge on the abuse of centrally acting anticholinergics is limited, the aim of the present study is to review the relevant published da…

INTRODUCTION: Intracystic (encysted) papillary cancer (IPC) is a rare entity of breast cancer accounting for approximately (1-2%) of all breast tumours [1], usually presenting in postmenopausal women and having an elusive natural history. The prediction of the biological behaviour of this rare form of breast cancer and…

The purpose was to perform a systematic review of studies on central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis [forms of osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS)] and define the spectrum of causes, risk factors, clinical and radiological presentations, and functional outcomes of this disorder. A thorough search of the literatu…

OBJECTIVES: Mental health inpatient facilities are increasingly focusing on creating therapeutic, person-centred care environments. However, research shows that this focus may have unintended consequences for healthcare staff. Designs that do not pay attention to staff needs may risk contributing to stress, burnout, jo…

PURPOSE: The present scoping review aims to assess the non-inferiority of distributed learning over centrally and locally trained machine learning (ML) models in medical applications. METHODS: We performed a literature search using the term "distributed learning" OR "federated learning" in the PubMed/MEDLINE and EMBAS…

OBJECTIVES: To perform a systematic review of studies that report the healing of critical size defects (CSDs) in rabbit calvaria and to determine the quality of the studies according to ARRIVE guidelines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An Internet search was made in duplicate between December 2011 and August 2013 using MEDLIN…

BACKGROUND: Vascular access devices (VADs) are crucial for administering parenteral nutrition to young patients with various medical conditions. However, the psychological impact of these devices on this vulnerable population is not well understood. OBJECTIVE: To synthesize and quantify the existing literature on the…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The rising prevalence of obesity is a major international concern and is associated with a substantial burden of disease. Disrupted circadian behaviours, including late and extended eating patterns, are identified as risk factors for obesity. The circadian rhythm synchronises metabolic functions be…
