An international team of scientists led by the Medical University of Vienna has identified similarities in the mechanisms of diabetes and cancer: as the researchers show, the protein PPARγ, which is central to the regulation of metabolic processes, can also influence the growth of prostate cancer cells. PPARγ is already known to be a target […]
Italy: In a recent case series published in AME Case Reports, researchers have highlighted the effectiveness of a dual laser strategy for managing vascularized acne scars in young adults. The approach, which combines dye laser and fractional CO₂ laser therapy, showed promising results in enhancing cosmetic appearance and patient satisfaction. Acne vulgaris is a […]
A new study published in the journal of BMC Nephrology showed that 20 minutes of focused breathing may quickly alleviate a variety of symptoms in kidney transplant recipients. Even after receiving a kidney transplant, many recipients still experience a variety of symptoms, despite the fact that this is the preferred therapy for people with end-stage […]
Researchers have identified in a new study that the integration of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation with non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) improves the quality of life, lung function, and exercise capacity in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to a great extent. This is following a trial comparing the effectiveness of this […]
