Chronic pain, such as low-back can be a highly disabling condition degrading people's quality of life (QoL). Not every patient responds to pharmacological therapies, thus alternative treatments have developed. The chronicity pain lead somatic dysperception, meaning mismatch between patients' own body perception and its actual physical state. Since clinical evaluation relies on subjective reports, image disruption associated with an incorrect rating inducing treatment possible risk drug...
This study aimed to understand the impact of COVID-19 distress on psychological status, features central sensitization and facial pain severity in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). In this prospective cohort study, 45 adults (19 chronic, 26 acute/subacute TMD) were recruited prior outbreak. Baseline assessment took place before outbreak while a follow-up was performed immediately after lockdown period. Multiple variables investigated including age, gender, perceived life...
Conceptual knowledge accessed by language may involve the reactivation of associated primary sensory-motor processes. Whether these embodied representations are indeed constitutive to conceptual is hotly debated, particularly since direct evidence that expertise can improve processing scarce. In this study, we sought for crucial piece evidence, training naive healthy subjects perform complex manual actions and measuring, before after training, their performance in a semantic task. Nineteen...
Introduction Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are principally characterised by pain in the craniomandibular area and probable limitations of jaw opening. Manual therapy, like other recommended conservative treatments included clinical guidelines, is commonly used to treat patients with TMD reduce improve function. However, outcomes may be variable. The aim this study identify predictors associated reduction following manual therapy analysing a combination patient-reported outcome measures...
Clinical guidelines recommend conservative treatment for the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and manual therapy (MT) is commonly applied to reduce pain improve function. To identify predictors reduction functional improvement following a program therapies (MTP) in patients with TMD develop first screening tool that could be used clinical practice facilitate decision-making. A cohort 102 adults diagnosis were treated four weekly sessions within MTP craniomandibular...
In the past decades’ different biomarkers for alcohol abuse has been proposed, but, despite this, research newly ones is still actual. To overcome lack of “perfect” biomarker, at this time, strategies but none them demonstrated required sensibility and specificity general population screening. As to date, determination carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT) alone standard serum analysis forensic examination, its chance be interfered by genetic variants (<3%) particular physio-pathological...
Abstract Background B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its precursor N-terminal pro-B-type (NT-proBNP) are released primarily by the ventricles in heart response to volume or pressure overload. Measurements of NT-proBNP used as an aid diagnosis assessment severity congestive failure (CHF). Within- (CVI) between-subject (CVG) biological variation (BV) estimates for limited. Here variability from eight apparently healthy Turkish women provided. Methods Serum samples were collected weekly 24...
In recent years naturally occurring prenyloxycinnamic acids were shown to exert remarkable anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects. 4'-Geranyloxyferulic acid was found efficient as an active chemopreventive agent, its structural analogue boropinic inhibitory effects against the growth of Helicobacter pylori. We report herein comparison between traditional HPLC-DAD methods for molar absorptivity coefficient determination 4-geranyloxyferulic (ε310=12,950 ε288=11,910 Lmol-1cm-1) (ε310=13,510...
Oxyprenylated natural products are a family of secondary metabolites featured by remarkable anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects. 4'-Geranyloxyferulic acid exerts valuable chemopreventive effects on several types cancer, while its structural analogue boropinic avowed inhibitory effect against the growth Helicobacter pylori. We wish to report herein, as continuation our studies [1], validation new method for selective determination title molecules in grapefruit skin extracts, after...
14649 Background: As most of antiangiogenic agents are extremely expensive there is a compelling need to monitor biological activity and select the patients who likely benefit from treatment according surrogate markers that able predict clinical benefit. Methods: We evaluated effects Bevacizumab (B) (15 mg/Kg Q 3 weeks) in phase II randomized study with locally advanced breast cancer lymphangitic spread chest wall. assessed toxicity B administered alone (arm A) concurrent or sequential oral...
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study using the medical records of 300 patients attending outpatient renal clinic department at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital for period January 2007 -December 2009.The average patient age was 43 years.The were followed up 24 months following their first visit.Socio-demographic (age sex, residence) and clinical characteristics including eGFR, blood pressure, BMI (body mass index), proteinuria, haemoglobin, cholesterolemia, uricaemia...
