HBM4EU-MOM: Prenatal methylmercury-exposure control in five countries through suitable dietary advice for pregnancy - Study design and characteristics of participants.

BACKGROUND: Seafood is a major source of vital nutrients for optimal fetal growth, but at the same time is the main source of exposure to methylmercury (MeHg), an established neurodevelopmental toxicant. Pregnant women must be provided with dietary advice so as to include safely fish in their diet for nutrition and mercury control. The aim of this work is to present the design of a multicentre randomized control trial (RCT), which combines human biomonitoring (HBM) with dietary interventions using seafood consumption advice to pregnant women for MeHg control, and to collect information about o

Clinical Characteristics, Comorbidities, and Treatment in Patients with Pemphigus-A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Pemphigus comprises a diverse group of disorders within the autoimmune bullous dermatoses (AIBDs) spectrum. Among these, pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF) are the most commonly encountered variants. Despite its rarity, this condition can pose a life-threatening risk. We aimed to assess clinical characteristics, comorbidities, medication, as well as the treatment of various types of pemphigus in pemphigus patients. METHODS: We gathered data from 69 patients treated in the Department of Dermatology in the years 2016-2023. The investigation included sex,

A community-based randomized trial encouraging sun protection for children.

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the impact of an intervention promoting sun protection behavior among children 2 to 11 years of age through schools and day care centers, primary care practices, and recreation areas. METHODS: Ten towns in New Hampshire were paired, then assigned randomly to intervention or control status. The multicomponent SunSafe intervention was provided to children and caregivers through primary care practices, day care centers, schools, and beach recreation areas. Training support and materials were provided by the SunSafe project, but project staff had no direct contact with chi

Hair Regrowth with Novel Hemp Extract: A Case Series.

INTRODUCTION: The endocannabinoid system (ECS), discovered in the 1990s, is a system involved with maintaining cellular homeostasis by down-regulating the damaging inflammatory responses and upregulating regenerative processes. Cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), and cannabidivarin (CBDV) are all phytocannabinoids found in varying quantities in hemp extract. These three cannabinoids have novel therapeutic effects on hair regrowth through the ECS. The method of action is different from and synergistic with current hair regrowth therapies. The three cannabinoids are fat-soluble and

Radiation-induced toxicity after image-guided and intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus external beam radiotherapy for patients with spinal bone metastases (IRON-1): a study protocol for a randomized controlled pilot trial.

BackgroundRadiation therapy (RT) of bone metastases provides an important treatment approach in palliative care treatment concepts. As a consequence of treatment, the extent of radiation-induced toxicity is a crucial feature with consequences to a patient's quality of life. In this context this study aims at reducing the extent of radiation-induced side effects and toxicity by assuming a better sparing of normal tissue with the use of intensity-modulated instead of conventionally delivered external beam radiotherapy.Methods/designIn this prospective, randomized, single-center trial for patient

Recommendations for Optimal Endoscopic Localization of Colorectal Neoplasms: A Delphi Consensus of National Experts.

BACKGROUND: Colonoscopy is the standard of care for diagnosis and evaluation of colorectal cancers before surgery. However, varied practices and heterogenous documentation affects communication between endoscopists and operating surgeons, hampering surgical planning. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop recommendations for the use of standardized localization and reporting practices for colorectal lesions identified during lower GI endoscopy. DESIGN: A systematic review of existing endoscopy guidelines and thorough narrative review of the overall endoscopy literature were performed to iden

Wearable biosensors, non-wearable biosensors, and biochips, which include gene chips, protein chips, and cell chips, are all included in the scope of the topic that pertains to biomedical sensors. Extensive research is conducted on drug delivery systems, spanning topics such as the integration of computer modelin

Premature hair graying: a multifaceted phenomenon.

Premature hair graying (PHG) is the early loss of natural hair color, influenced by genetic, biological, and environmental factors. This review discusses the significant psychological impacts of PHG and explores its underlying mechanisms, related health conditions, and available treatments. The review examines the roles of genetics, oxidative stress, and lifestyle factors such as smoking and diet in premature graying. It also considers associated medical conditions and current and emerging treatment options. This overview aims to improve understanding of PHG and its broader implications.

Therapeutic potential of Fingolimod in triple negative breast cancer preclinical models.

Surgery followed by a chemotherapy agent is the first-line treatment for breast cancer patients. Nevertheless, new targets are required for women with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in order to improve the treatment of this aggressive cancer subtype. Multiple pro-inflammatory molecules including lipid-based substances such as sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) promote cancer progression. In this preclinical study, we aim to investigate the efficacy of Fingolimod, an inhibitor of S1P / S1P receptors axis, already approved as an immunomodulator in multiple sclerosis. The impact of Fingolimod wa

Новальная граница в исследовании оксиса Гут-Брэйна: трансплантация фекалий микробиота в неевродегенеративных расстройствах.

Ось кишечника (GBA) представляет собой сложную двунаправленную систему связи, соединяющую центральную нервную систему (CNS) и желудочно-кишечный тракт (GI). Такое взаимодействие происходит главным образом через нейронные, иммунные и метаболические пути. Дисбиоз в кишечной микробиоте связан с многочисленными нейродегенеративными заболеваниями, такими, как болезнь Паркинсона (PD), болезнь Альцгеймера (AD), множественный склероз (MS) и амиотропический боковой склероз (ALS). В последние годы в качестве новаторского терапевтического подхода к трансплантации фекальной микробиоты (ФМТ) была привлечен

Drug-Induced Periocular and Ocular Surface Disorders: An EAACI Position Paper.

Various systemic and topical medications can induce ocular and periocular cutaneous adverse effects (AEs), ranging from mild to severe. These AEs may lead to ocular surface (OS) damage and, in some cases, life-threatening complications. Drug-induced ocular adverse reactions are generally classified into two primary categories: toxic reactions and/or allergic hypersensitivity reactions, which can be IgE or non-IgE-mediated. Systemic antibiotics, antivirals, and anticonvulsants can trigger adverse reactions that may involve the OS. Drugs like antihistamines, beta-blockers, antipsychotics, antide

Lymphatic vessels of the eye - old questions - new insights.

Due to its accessible position and tissue heterogeneity, the eye is ideally suited for studying the lymphatic system. As early as the 19th century, questions about the origin and function of this system were discussed. For example, whether Schlemm's canal, which is of particular importance in the pathogenesis of glaucoma, is a lymphatic vessel, or does this vascular system begin with finger-shaped protuberances? Despite the discovery of lymphatic endothelial molecules and the use of molecular imaging technologies, these questions are still discussed controversially today. Leber demonstrated in

The potential of oral healthcare providers to recognise early systemic disease.

Like many other body structures, the mouth is often affected by disease that principally arises from, or targets, several tissue sites. Indeed, systemic disorders can manifest on the oral mucosa as the first, only, or become the most severe manifestation of a systemic disease and/or become the most significant factor to adversely affect an individual's quality of life. Oral healthcare providers (dentists, therapists and hygienists) may be the first to observe an abnormality in the mouth which sometimes indicates a significant systemic disease unknown to the patient or their general medical pra
