The antioxidant properties of epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG), a green tea compound, have been already studied in various diseases. Improving the bioavailability EGCG by nanoformulation may contribute to more effective treatment diabetes mellitus (DM) metabolic consequences and vascular complications. aim this study was test comparative effect liposomal with solution experimental DM induced streptozotocin (STZ) rats.28 Wistar-Bratislava rats were randomly divided into four groups (7...

Background. An active molecule in sulfurous mineral - therapeutic waters and also sapropelic mud is H2S, a hormetic gaseous that can actively penetrate the skin. While high levels of H2S are extremely toxic, low tolerated have potential cytoprotective effects, with anti-inflammatory antioxidant applications. Objective. This systematic review aims to rigorously select related articles identify within their content main possible uses hydrogen sulfide from balneary sources explain its...

Balneotherapy, treating diseases by bathing in mineral-rich waters and mud, has a long historical application across various cultures. Despite its widespread use, comprehensive studies on biological impacts are scant, particularly quantifying effects at the cellular systemic levels. This study aims to rigorously investigate of therapeutic mud mineral waters, providing scientific basis for their clinical application. We focused elucidating mechanisms behind observed determining these natural...

Background and Objectives: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) posed unique challenges worldwide, underscoring important gaps in healthcare preparedness for patients receiving immunosuppressive therapies, such as the individuals with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), a subgroup of (SpA) characterized by chronic inflammation immune dysregulation. While global registry data exist SpA, specific on axSpA alone remain scarce, especially Central Eastern European populations. This study aims to...

Oxidative stress plays an essential role in neurodegenerative pathophysiology, acting as both a critical signaling mediator and driver of neuronal damage. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), versatile gasotransmitter, exhibits similarly “Janus-faced” nature, potent antioxidant cytoprotective molecule at physiological concentrations, but becoming detrimental when dysregulated. This review explores the dual roles oxidative H2S normal cellular physiology focusing on disease progression. We highlight...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as a pivotal gaseous transmitter in the central nervous system, influencing synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory by modulating various molecular pathways. This review examines recent evidence regarding how H2S regulates NMDA receptor function neurotransmitter release neuronal circuits. By synthesizing findings from animal cellular models, we investigate impacts of enzymatic production exogenous on excitatory currents, long-term potentiation,...

Gait analysis is an essential tool for assessing musculoskeletal function and identifying biomechanical abnormalities. This study aimed to establish normative reference values gait parameters in young, physically active individuals identify deviations associated with foot deformities. Methods: A cross-sectional observational was conducted on 102 healthy young adults engaged performance sports. were recorded using the RSscan plantar pressure distribution platform. Outlier identification...

This study evaluates the efficacy of monotherapy versus combination therapy in rheumatoid ar-thritis (RA) using advanced quantitative metrics such as Number Needed to Treat (NNT), Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR), Relative (RRR), and Control Experimental Event Rates (CER EER). The goal is provide a structured, clinically relevant framework for op-timizing RA management bridging gap between clinical research real-world appli-cation. A prospective cohort included 160 patients, stratified by age,...

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, emotional distress, and cognitive impairments, significantly impacting quality of life. This study evaluated the effectiveness three non-pharmacological interventions—stretching-based kinetic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), occupational (OT)—on symptoms in FM patients. A prospective controlled included 126 patients divided into four groups: CBT, stretching, OT, control group (CG) receiving only general...
