Background: Developing effective therapies for cough in lung cancer is an unmet need Neuromodulators like pregabalin may act centrally as cough suppressants.
Methods: Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study in patients with locally advanced/metastatic lung cancer and at least 2 weeks of moderate or severe cough. Randomization was 1:1 to pregabalin 300 mg orally daily or matching placebo, both administered for 9 weeks.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to measure the impact of plate shape (curvilinear vs. linear) on deltoid muscle disruption during surgery for proximal humeral fractures.
- Using cadaveric shoulders, researchers tested 4 different plate types and found that the curvilinear plate required significantly less deltoid release compared to the linear plates.
- Results showed a clear correlation between plate length and the level of deltoid disruption, indicating that both plate shape and length play a role in minimizing muscle damage during surgical procedures.
Background: Infections with Soil-transmitted Helminths (STHs) impact about 24% of the global population. A disproportionate number of individuals, particularly those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, live in emerging nations. In India, between the ages of one and fourteen, almost 220 million children are susceptible to intestinal worm infestations caused by parasites.

Introduction: Titanium implants are commonly used for surgical fixation in orthopedic trauma, and have many benefits compared to stainless steel implants. Despite these benefits, some orthopedic surgeons remain hesitant to use titanium implants due to concerns of difficulty with future implant removal, given concerns with cold-welding and screw strippage. The objective of this study was to assess difficulties associated with titanium plate and screw implant removal.
