Abstract Background Herpes zoster (HZ)-associated pain causes a significant burden on patients and healthcare resources. Treatment options for post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is limited, treatment course could be refractory. The consensus that preventing the progression of acute to PHN preferable treating itself. In clinical practice, anticonvulsants such as gabapentin pregabalin have been reported reduce severity duration from HZ lowered risk PHN. Tricyclic antidepressants, including...
This study aimed to analyze the impact of long-term ICL implantation on lens density, focusing relationship between anterior subcapsule, and implantable collamer lenses (ICL) position after V4c implantation. retrospective included 145 eyes with average follow-up 4.2 years (range: 3-8 years). The control group comprised 65 myopic without surgery. All participants underwent comprehensive ophthalmologic examinations, density were measured using quantitative Scheimpflug images. central...
Background Adverse events following mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, including herpes zoster (HZ), have been reported. We conducted a cohort study to evaluate the association between vaccination and subsequent HZ at Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC).Research design methods The vaccinated consisted of KPSC members who received their first dose vaccine (mRNA-1273 BNT162b2) during 12/2020–05/2021 were matched unvaccinated individuals on age sex. Incident cases occurring within 90 days...
What is known and Objective Myocarditis that develops because of the drug reaction with eosinophilia systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome a life-threatening disease. We report case DRESS-associated myocarditis cardiac failure required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiovascular support. Case summary A 14-year-old boy experienced after anticonvulsive therapy carbamazepine, clonazepam phenytoin. The clinical signs included hypotension, arrhythmia poor left ventricular (LV)...
Abstract Background Esophageal achalasia, a primary disorder impacting the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), presents symptoms such as dysphagia, regurgitation, chest pain, and weight loss. Traditional treatments, including calcium channel blockers nitrates, offer limited relief, prompting exploration into alternative therapies. This study examines efficacy of Chinese Medicine (TCM), focusing on Coptis chinensis ( C. ) its principal component, berberine, for modulating LES relaxation,...
Abstract Background Oncologic treatments may lead to the development of paronychia, which cause severe pain and disability. However, a detailed objective scoring system is lacking. Objective To develop an quantify severity paronychia also examine correlation this score with index patients’ quality life. Methods A novel for related oncologic ( SPOT ), consisting four parameters, namely redness, oedema, discharge granulation tissue, was designed assess paronychia. The visual analogue scale VAS...
Verrucous carcinoma is a rare variant of well-differentiated squamous cell with locally aggressive and minimal metastatic potential.1 Oral verrucous (OVC) the most common type in head neck regions accounts for 55.9% 2350 such cases.1 The overall 5-year survival rate OVC approximately 50% retrospective cohort study.2 risk factors include chronic inflammation induced by chemical carcinogenesis associated betel quid chewing, smoking, human papillomavirus infection, immunosuppression.
Down syndrome (DS) is associated with an increased risk of infections attributed to immune defects. Whether individuals DS are at severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains unclear.In a matched cohort study, we evaluated the COVID-19 infection and in their counterparts pre-COVID-19 vaccination period Kaiser Permanente Southern California. Multivariable Cox proportion hazard regression was used investigate associations between disease.Our included 2541 10 164 without on age, sex,...
<title>Abstract</title> Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of EVO-ICL implantation combined with a corneal relaxing incision for correction moderate to high myopia low astigmatism. Design: prospective non-randomized clinical trial Methods This study included 35 eyes patients astigmatism corrected by (CRI) on steep meridian and 30 who underwent conventional temporal as controls. Visual acuity, refractive parameters, keratometry, astigmatism, aberration were measured preoperatively 1 3 months...

Artificial intelligence systems, particularly large language models (LLMs), are increasingly being employed in high-stakes decisions that impact both individuals and society at large, often without adequate safeguards to ensure safety, quality, equity. Yet LLMs hallucinate, lack common sense, biased - shortcomings may reflect LLMs' inherent limitations thus not be remedied by more sophisticated architectures, data, or human feedback. Relying solely on for complex, is therefore problematic....
A multi-step procedure was effectively employed to synthesize innovative three-dimensional (3D) heterostructures encompassing sodium titanate (Na2Ti3O7) nanowire cores, an intermediate resorcinol–formaldehyde (RF) layer, and outer silver (Ag) nanoparticle sheaths, referred as Na2Ti3O7@RF@Ag heterostructures. Initially, a one-step hydrothermal technique facilitated the direct growth of single-crystal Na2Ti3O7 nanowires onto flexible Ti foil. Subsequently, two-step wet chemical process...
