Abstract The genus Polyscias , part of the Araliaceae family, is known for its significant ornamental and medicinal value, as well rich variety metabolites. These plants are primarily found in tropical regions, particularly Southeast Asia Pacific islands. diverse geographical environments have led to emergence many unique endangered species, although there limited genomic information available about them. In this study, we generated high‐quality reference genomes three species: two that...
Study Design Randomized clinical trial. Objectives To compare the effectiveness of 2 different conservative management approaches in treatment plantar heel pain. Background There is insufficient evidence to establish optimal physical therapy strategies for patients with pain, and little long-term effects. Methods Patients a primary report pain underwent standard evaluation completed number patient self-report questionnaires, including Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Foot Ankle...
Patients with low back pain are frequently encountered in primary care. Although a specific diagnosis cannot be made for most patients, it is likely that sub-groups exist within the larger entity of nonspecific pain. One sub-group has been identified patients who respond rapidly to spinal manipulation. The purpose this study was examine association between two factors (duration and distribution symptoms) prognosis following manipulation intervention.Data were taken from previously published...
