Disturbance in the reconstitution of distinct T-cell subsets and the incidence of GvHD following allo-HSCT in pediatric patients with non-malignant hematological disorders
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest a possible relationship between the influence of acute GvHD and its prevention on delayed CD4 T-cell reconstitution and, reciprocally, unbalanced regeneration of CD4 and CD8 T-cell subsets in the development of chronic GvHD.PMID:37474024 | DOI:10.1016/j.imlet.2023.07.008 (Source: Immunology Letters)

Investigating four algorithms for material discrimination in a simulated dual-energy radiography system
Appl Radiat Isot. 2023 Jun 29;199:110915. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2023.110915. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the present work, a dual-energy X-ray radiography system was simulated using MCNPX code. Then, material discrimination curves for graphite, aluminum, steel, and lead materials were obtained using four algorithms, including log-log, R-T, r-θ, and α1-α2. The results show that R-T, r-θ, and α1-α2 algorithms have better performance. Also, due to the less overlap of material discrimination curves for low sample thicknesses, the R-T algorithm can be a better choice for obtaining material discrimination curves in ...

Effect of curcumin on inflammatory biomarkers and iron profile in patients with premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea: A randomized controlled trial
This study assessed the effects of curcumin on inflammatory biomarkers and iron profile in young women with PMS and dysmenorrhea. A sample of 76 patients was included in this triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Participants were randomly allocated to curcumin (n = 38) and control groups (n = 38). Each participant received one capsule (500 mg of curcuminoid+ piperine, or placebo) daily, from 7 days before until 3 days after menstruation for three consecutive menstrual cycles. Serum iron, ferritin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs CRP), as well as white...

Myocardial Work in Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
This study aimed to (1) evaluate myocardial work indices in patients with ApHCM compared to those with non-ApHCM, (2) describe associations with relevant clinical variables, and (3) examine associations with significant late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).

Post –Septal Myectomy Coronary-Cameral Fistula: A Brief Review and Search for Underlying Mechanisms
A coronary artery fistula draining into the cardiac chamber is referred to as a coronary-cameral fistula (CCF). CCFs are rare, with the incidence reported to be 0.002% of the general population.1 CCFs can be congenital or may be acquired in a variety of ways. Acquired CCFs account for 35% of all CCFs.2 An acquired CCF usually occurs secondary to septal myectomy, acute myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary angioplasty, coronary artery bypass grafting, cardiac transplantation, multiple endomyocardial biopsies, pacemaker placement, ablation of an accessory pathway, or chest irradiation.

Unnecessary hospitalisations and polypharmacy practices in Tajikistan: a health system evaluation for strengthening primary healthcare
Conclusions
The methodology is applicable across all health systems and can provide important insights on health service use and resource waste. Findings of this assessment in Tajikistan have led to evidence-based decisions and actions from stakeholders and policy makers with the goal of strengthening PHC and improving the management of common diseases in children and pregnant women.

COVID ‐19 induced anorexia nervosa: A case series and brief review of literature
This article emphasizes that patients presenting with COVID-19 infection especially presenting with predominantly gastrointestinal symptoms and a history of eating disorder or even other mental disorders should be evaluated thoroughly and differential diagnoses should be considered. Clinicians should keep in mind that eating disorders may happen after COVID infection or vaccination.AbstractThe emergence and global spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) have caused a significant mental health burden on communities around the world. Factors related to COVID-19 affect mental health in the general community, but may h...
