In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the sonographic changes in the uterine arteries after internal iliac artery ligation.MethodsThe population of this…

OBJECTIVE: Due to the substantial lack of data from Iraq on ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) complications, this study aims to examine the various types of complications after VPS surgery in Baghdad Medical City. METHODS: The retrospective cohort study analyzed VPS procedures at Baghdad Medical City from 2019 to 2022.…

PURPOSE: Both emmetropic and myopic eyes elongate throughout childhood. The goals of this study were to compare axial elongation among untreated progressing myopes, progressing myopes treated with a myopia control contact lens and emmetropes, in order to place axial elongation in the context of normal eye growth in emm…

INTRODUCTION: The role of immunological mechanisms in the pathophysiology of mental disorders has been discussed with increasing frequency. In this context, especially schizophrenia has become the focus of attention after the discovery of autoimmune encephalitis, which might present with psychotic symptoms. Furthermore…

BACKGROUND: Pediatric laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is not widely accepted. STUDY DESIGN: Children 0-14 years who underwent inguinal hernia repair during 2010-2016 at Kaiser Permanente Northern California were classified into five groups: (1) open unilateral repair without contralateral exploration; (2) o…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to compare estimated blood volume (EBV) versus weight-based (WB) dosing of unfractionated heparin in terms of safety and ability to achieve therapeutic antifactor-Xa (AF-Xa) levels. METHODS: This was a retrospective, cohort study including 32 male veterans who received UFH. Prim…

OBJECTIVE: To characterise the percentage of available outcome data being presented in reports of randomised clinical trials with continuous outcome measures, thereby determining the potential for incomplete reporting bias. DESIGN: Descriptive cross sectional study. DATA SOURCES: A random sample of 200 randomised tri…

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: This study's aim was to verify whether, in patients affected by sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) with high plasmatic levels of low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and/or fibrinogen, the therapeutic approach with a single selective plasmapheresis (HELP-apheresis) followed by 10 days…

STUDY DESIGN: A 5-year prospective observational study in US Army Reserve soldiers. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were 2-fold: to evaluate the prevalence of soldiers reporting no previous back pain (BP) on 3 consecutive annual assessments, and to compare these findings to those obtained from a subsequent monthly…

This study investigated whether symptoms of depression and anxiety were related to the development of elevated blood pressure in initially normotensive adults. The study's hypothesis was addressed with an existing set of prospective data gathered from an age-, sex-, and weight-stratified sample of 508 adults. Four year…

BACKGROUND: This study examines the management and outcomes of large paranasal sinus osteomas (PSO), especially those abutting or encasing critical structures of the skull base and orbit. METHODOLOGY: A multicentric retrospective analysis was conducted between June 2007 and September 2023. The study included surgicall…

BACKGROUND: There's limited information available about the range of harm reduction (HR) services provided by rural pharmacies. OBJECTIVE: This study's objectives are to describe the types of HR services offered by rural pharmacies and examine pharmacists' attitudes and willingness to offer those services. METHODS: A…

Although previous literature suggests that interleukin (IL)-13, a T-helper type 2 cell effector cytokine, might be involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (PH), direct proof is lacking. Furthermore, a potential mechanism underlying IL-13-induced PH has never been explored. This study's goal was to invest…

The HIV-1 integrase (IN) mutations Y143C/R are known as raltegravir (RAL) primary resistance mutations. In a previous study (S. Reigadas et al., PLoS One 5:e10311, 2010), we investigated the genetic pathway and the dynamics of emergence of the Y143C/R mutations in three patients failing RAL-containing regimens. In thes…

BACKGROUND: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine associated with prostate cancer, based on histologic evidence and circulating (serum) levels. Recent studies from another laboratory failed to document these results. This study's aims were to extend and confirm our previous data, as well as to defi…

BACKGROUND: Although previous studies have shown an association between clinically used antibiotics and type 2 diabetes, the relationship between antibiotic exposure from food and drinking water and type 2 diabetes in middle-aged and older adults is unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed at exploring the relationshi…

BACKGROUND: About 90% of patients who have diabetes suffer from Type 2 DM (T2DM). Many studies suggest using the significant role of lncRNAs to improve the diagnosis of T2DM. Machine learning and Data Mining techniques are tools that can improve the analysis and interpretation or extraction of knowledge from the data.…

BACKGROUND: Bacterial signals play an important role in the maturation of the immune system. Polymorphisms in genes coding for receptors to bacterial components can alter the immune responsiveness of the host to microbial agents and may indicate the development of aberrant immune responses that are associated with immu…

BACKGROUND: Climbing is a fast-growing physical activity around the world. From recreational activity to sport, more and more people are practicing.
