Matrix rhythm therapy represents promising advancement in treatment of tissue adhesions: study

Matrix rhythm therapy (MRT) is an innovative therapeutic approach that utilizes vibrational and rhythmic stimulation to restore physiological cellular function. Developed by Randoll et al, MRT targets the ECM and cellular rhythm, promoting tissue regeneration and healing. Unlike traditional manual or instrument-assisted techniques, MRT offers a non-invasive solution that acts on both mechanical and physiological […]

Blood Urea Nitrogen-to-Albumin Ratio Predicts 28-Day Mortality in ICU Patients with CKD: Study

Researchers have found in a new study that Blood Urea Nitrogen-to-Albumin Ratio (BAR) shows a significant association with 28-day mortality risk in ICU patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD), highlighting its potential as a valuable tool for mortality risk stratification. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is prevalent worldwide, with patients facing significant mortality risk in […]

Reflux recurrence risk after laparoscopic fundoplication similar in Both Erosive and Nonerosive GERD: JAMA

A new study published in the Journal of American Medical Association showed that reflux recurrence risk after laparoscopic fundoplication was similar in patients with nonerosive and erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), challenging the notion that nonerosive GERD is less suitable for surgery. The findings suggest that absence of erosive disease on endoscopy should not preclude antireflux […]

Instant Coffee and Genetics May Raise Risk of Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Study

Approximately 200 million people globally live with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with the majority affected by its dry form. While known risk factors include both genetics and lifestyle, a new study suggests that the combination of genetic predisposition and consumption of instant coffee may further increase the risk of developing dry age-related macular degeneration. Coffee […]

Icariin Shows Kidney-Protective Effects Against Contrast-Induced Injury: Study

Researchers have discovered in a new research that oral administration of icariin at a dose of 100 mg/kg demonstrated significant renoprotective effects by mitigating contrast-induced renal injury. The protective mechanisms included anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and antioxidant actions. Currently, the use of contrast agents in interventional procedures and imaging has been increasing. Icariin, an active component of […]

COPD Patients Face Earlier Mortality and Higher Comorbidity Burden: Study

Researchers have found in a real-world observational retrospective cohort study that patients with COPD died at a younger age and experienced more comorbidities compared to matched controls without COPD. Patients with COPD suffer from various comorbidities, seemingly leading to a collective increase in morbidity and mortality. However, comorbidities with COPD have been largely unreported. Using […]
