Poland: A recent study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology has shown a significant impact of gluconolactone (GLA) chemical peel treatment on lowering skin pH and transepidermal water loss (TEWL). GLA was also observed to have seboregulatory properties. “GLA chemical peel treatment significantly lowered skin pH at all measurement points. Also, there was a […]
France: In a recent study published in Aging, the researchers performed a chemical screen, using an FDA-approved drug library, to identify compounds selectively promoting the death of CS-induced senescent lung cells. In the study, researchers Alberta Palazzo, and colleagues from France revealed that benidipine calcium channel blocker promotes the death of cigarette smoke-induced senescent cells and […]
Brazil: A recent study published in the Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry has shed light on the effect of antioxidants after post-space irrigation on the adhesive interface of glass fibre post-cementation. The researchers revealed that the antioxidants (10% sodium ascorbate and 20% alpha-tocopherol) used after post-space irrigation with sodium hypochlorite appear to increase the […]
While rib fractures are common in blunt thoracic trauma, dislocations of the costovertebral joints (CVJs) are extremely rare and typically involve the first, eleventh, or twelfth rib. Natalia Gorelik et al reported a rare case of dislocation of the left fourth and sixth CVJs in a 36-year-old man who was run over by a car. […]
A recent study scrutinized various inflow control methods used during laparoscopic subsegmentectomy in liver resections to determine their impact on patient outcomes. This study was published in BMC Surgery by Wang and colleagues. The study offers clinicians substantial evidence that both the half-Pringle and Pringle maneuvers are safe and effective methods for inflow control during […]
Cyprus: A recent study published in Atherosclerosis Plus has reported a significant reduction in HDL-C, total cholesterol (TC), and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) levels in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Hence, the researchers suggest considering lipid profile parameters when assessing such patients. Multiple myeloma, also called plasma cell myeloma, is the second most common haematological malignancy, […]
Denmark: Researchers from the University of Copenhagen reported in their original research article that their study revealed a reduced risk of autism, a lower load of autistic symptoms, and a decreased risk of ADHD diagnosis for mothers with higher levels of 25(OH)D before starting the intervention. However, high-dose vitamin D3 supplementation during pregnancy had no […]
USA: Findings from a small clinical trial showed that twice-daily non-invasive electrical stimulation of the brain may boost mental processes (cognitive function) in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The findings were published online in the journal General Psychiatry. The technology, known as transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS for short, may help to fire up the […]
Hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state is higher among patients with type 1 diabetes compared with type 2 diabetes suggests a new study published in the Diabetes Care The hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is a rare and life-threatening complication of diabetes. We aimed to estimate the incidence of HHS and describe the clinical and biomarker profiles of patients […]
In the Netherlands, where the healthcare system grapples with the staggering burden of over one million patients combating type 2 diabetes (T2D), a significant breakthrough has emerged. A study evaluating the cost-effectiveness of integrating finerenone, a promising therapeutic addition to standard care, offers hope for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and T2D. The […]
