Effect of exercise given to factory workers with ergonomics training on pain and functionality: A randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: The exercise group showed a statistically significant decrease in ODI, FSS, MPQ, and PSQI scores compared to the control group. This study demonstrated that exercise is a more effective practice than ergonomic training for factory workers suffering from chronic low back pain.PMID:38701125 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230663 (Source: Work)

Bronchoscopy-guided antimicrobial therapy for cystic fibrosis
CONCLUSIONS: This review, limited to two well-designed randomised controlled studies, shows no evidence to support the routine use of BAL for the diagnosis and management of pulmonary infection in preschool children with CF compared to the standard practice of providing treatment based on results of oropharyngeal culture and clinical symptoms. No evidence is available for adults.PMID:38700027 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD009530.pub5 (Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews)

Sequential administration of peripheral nerve blocks and onabotulinumtoxinA for the treatment of chronic migraine and other headache disorders-A retrospective tolerability and safety study
CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective chart review, there was no significant difference in adverse events or therapy discontinuation between patients receiving sequential peripheral nerve block(s) and onabotulinumtoxinA injections versus those receiving either peripheral nerve block(s) or onabotulinumtoxinA injections alone. As a result, we concluded that the combination procedure is likely safe and well tolerated in routine clinical practice.PMID:38700250 | DOI:10.1111/head.14725 (Source: Headache)

Health complaints before and at one and five years after removal of dental amalgam restorations - data from a prospective cohort study in Norway
CONCLUSION: After removal of all amalgam restorations, both local and general health complaints were reduced. Since blinding of the treatment was not possible, specific and non-specific treatment effects cannot be separated.PMID:38699922 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40260 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Retrospective comparative clinical study on clinical effect of suture micromarsupialization on ranula
Conclusions: Suture micromarsupialisation is a conservative therapeutic method for intraoral ranula. The cure rate of suture micromarsupialisation is similar to that of traditional surgery. It is recommended to use this technique as a first-line conservative therapeutic method for intraoral ranula, as it has the advantages of minimal invasion, simple operation, no pain, no need for haemostasis and no complications.PMID:38700248 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40492 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Glycemic Control and Mucormycosis during COVID-19 Pandemic in India a Study of Stage and Outcome
CONCLUSION: The study showed a positive correlation between the stage of mucormycosis and serum glycemic control markers at presentation. Clinicians must order blood sugar and HbA1c levels at presentation as cues for a better understanding of disease severity. A thorough clinical examination and history taking for patient risk factors predisposing to mucormycosis are also crucial since the presence of proptosis and coronary artery disease are significantly correlated with the mortality outcomes. The extent of poor glycemic control at presentation was not associated with mortality outcomes. How to cite this article: Sharma ...

Expression of nuclear receptor co ‑activator 7 protein is associated with poor prognosis of breast cancer
Oncol Lett. 2024 Apr 23;27(6):278. doi: 10.3892/ol.2024.14411. eCollection 2024 Jun.ABSTRACTNuclear receptor coactivator 7 (NCOA7) is an estrogen receptor binding protein. Its role in breast cancer progression has so far remained elusive. The present study aimed to determine the expression levels of NCOA7 in breast tumor samples and confirmed its potential utility as a breast cancer prognostic biomarker. The expression of NCOA7 was detected by immunohistochemical staining in 241 breast cancer tumor samples and 163 adjacent normal tissue samples. The association of NCOA7 expression with the clinicopathological characteristi...

Pleiotrophin serum level and metastasis occurrence in breast cancer patients
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that the serum PTN level among breast cancer patients had a cut-off value of 2.47 ng/dL. The research established a clear correlation between PTN level and metastasis occurrence in breast cancer patients, indicating a higher likelihood of distant metastasis with elevated PTN concentration.PMID:38701136 | DOI:10.3233/BD-249003 (Source: Breast Disease)

Structural Racism as a Contributor to Lung Cancer Incidence and Mortality Rates Among Black Populations in the United States
CONCLUSION: Structural racism contributes to both the number of new lung cancer cases and the number of deaths caused by lung cancer among Black populations.

Analysis of the detection rate and clinical characteristics of early gastric cancer by painless gastroscopy and ordinary gastroscopy
CONCLUSION: Painless gastroscopy can effectively improve the screening and diagnostic efficiency of EGC, especially for EGC lesions that are not easy to expose the site, small in size, superficial, without obvious mucosal color change or without mucosal breakage. Therefore, the value of painless gastroscopy in EGC screening is worth further promotion and research.PMID:38701257 | DOI:10.1097/MD.0000000000038120 (Source: Cancer Control)
