State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Methods to Diagnose Equine Spinal Disorders, With Special Reference to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Transcranial Electrical Stimulation.

Spinal cord disorders are a common problem in equine medicine. However, finding the site of the lesion is challenging for veterinarians because of a lack of sensitive diagnostic methods that can assess neuronal functional integrity in horses. Although medical imaging is frequently applied to help diagnose corticospinal disorders, this approach does not reveal functional information. For the latter, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and more recently transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) can be useful. These are brain stimulation techniques that create either magnetic or electrical fi

Brain-body interactions in systemic diseases: a survey from an imaging perspective.

Many diseases are now recognized as systemic, involving extensive crosstalk between brain and body. Although existing reviews have elucidated the biochemical basis of these brain-body connections, their dynamic interactions remain largely unexplored by imaging approaches. To fill this gap, this review investigates brainbody axes from an imaging perspective across three research paradigms: (1) the impact of brain diseases on the body, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, psychiatric disorders, and cerebral small vessel disease; (2) the influence of body diseases on the brain, par

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Strategies for Predicting, Personalizing, and Optimizing Therapeutic Targets in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, represent chronic relapsing inflammatory disorders characterized by complex interactions among genetic, microbiome-related, immunological, and environmental factors. Although advances in biologics and small-molecule inhibitors have expanded therapeutic options, substantial variability in treatment response, drug resistance, and unpredictable disease progression remain major clinical challenges. Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning and deep learning, have reshaped

Traditional Chinese Medicine for Viral Pneumonia Therapy: Pharmacological Basis and Mechanistic Insights.

Different respiratory viruses might cause similar symptoms, ranging from mild upper respiratory tract involvement to severe respiratory distress, which can rapidly progress to septic shock, coagulation disorders, and multiorgan failure, ultimately leading to death. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that predicting clinical outcomes can be challenging because of the complex interactions between the virus and the host. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has distinct benefits in the treatment of respiratory viral illnesses due to its adherence to the principles of "different treatments for the same

Comprehensive Treatment of Functional Dyspepsia Using Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Review Based on Pathophysiological Perspectives.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by epigastric pain and symptoms related to meal consumption. According to recent diagnostic criteria, FD can be classified as epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) or postprandial discomfort syndrome (PDS), based on the predominant symptoms. The pathophysiology of FD can be influenced by various factors, including microinflammation, gastrointestinal infections, abnormal gastroduodenal motility, visceral hypersensitivity, disturbances in the brain-gut axis, and psychological factors. As a result, its management re

Highly Recurrent IDH1 Mutations in Prostate Cancer With Psammomatous Calcification.

Prostate cancer is a heterogeneous disease with several well-recognized morphologic subtypes and histologic variants-subsets of which are enriched for or associated with specific genomic alterations. Herein, we report a cohort of 4 unique prostate cancers characterized by intratumoral psammomatous calcification-which we have termed prostate cancer with psammomatous calcification (PCWPC). Clinicopathologic review demonstrates that PCWPCs are high-grade (grade group ≥3) tumors that involve the anterior prostate, and integrative targeted next-generation sequencing reveals recurrent hotspot IDH1 m

Chronic Pain: An Update of Clinical Practices and Advances in Chronic Pain Management.

Chronic pain affects a significant amount of the population and represents a heavy personal and socioeconomic burden. Chronic pain mechanisms can be categorized as nociceptive, neuropathic, or nociplastic. Although mechanism-based pain treatment is optimal, different types of pain mechanisms may overlap in patients. Recently, the biopsychosocial model with the multidisciplinary pain management program is widely accepted as one of the most effective methods to assess and manage chronic pain. The treatment of chronic pain consists of a personalized, stepwise, and multimodal approach that include

Emergency Department-Initiated Interventions for Illicit Drug Overdose: An Integrative Review of Best Practices.

More than 20 million people in the United States have a substance use disorder (SUD), increasing their risk for overdose (OD).

The patient became progressively shy, anxious, and her scholastic performance suffered. A literature re

Endocrinological derangements in COPD.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is no longer considered to affect only the lungs and airways but also the rest of the body. The systemic manifestations of COPD include a number of endocrine disorders, such as those involving the pituitary, the thyroid, the gonads, the adrenals and the pancreas. The mechanisms by which COPD alters endocrine function are incompletely understood but likely involve hypoxaemia, hypercapnia, systemic inflammation and glucocorticoid administration. Altered endocrine function can worsen the clinical manifestations of COPD through several mechanisms, inclu
