Article Synopsis
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment involves 18 months of daily oral chemotherapy using 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP).
- Research indicates that adherence to this treatment is often lower among adolescents and young adults (AYA), particularly those from minoritized racial/ethnic backgrounds.
- A retrospective analysis found a correlation between adherence to 6-MP and factors like race/ethnicity and area deprivation index (ADI), emphasizing the importance of equitable interventions to improve treatment compliance and health outcomes for AYAs.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how muscle activity in various core muscles changes based on hip positions during back and side bridging exercises.
- Thirty-six healthy participants performed six different exercises, and their muscle activity was measured using surface electromyography to analyze differences between hip positions.
- Results indicated that the external and internal oblique muscles were predominantly active during back bridging with internal rotation, while multifidus and gluteus maximus were most active during back bridging with external rotation and side bridging with hip extension.
Background: Dental anxiety is a global problem in the realm of pediatric dentistry. The use of procedural sedation is recommended to avoid substandard or unsafe dental treatment in preschoolers. This study aimed to compare the effect sedation with Dexmedetomidine with or without Midazolam in terms of sedation level, analgesic effect and ease of treatment completion in preschool children.

The composites were prepared via a simple and cost-effective synthesis method. The grain size of powder NPs was measured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and the particle size was about 20 ± 5 nm and 31.
