The impact of lymphedema severity on shoulder joint function and muscle activation patterns in breast cancer survivors: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impacts of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) severity on shoulder function including range of motion, strength, muscle activation patterns, and patient-reported disability.

Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study design was utilized. Seventy-five women with unilateral BCRL were recruited and categorized into mild, moderate, and severe groups based on limb swelling severity.

An Unusually Massive Hemorrhagic Superficial Infrapatellar Bursa Excised in a One-stage Procedure: Case Report.

Introduction: Superficial infrapatellar bursitis may be traumatic, inflammatory, or infectious. It rarely attains massive dimensions. Open excision can be performed as a one-stage or a two-stage procedure, and endoscopy can be an alternative.

Optimization of Carotenoids Production from sp. Strain ATL72 for Enhancing Its Biotechnological Applications.

yeasts which are known as carotenogenic yeasts have a great industrial value due to their ability to produce carotenoids. In particular, the isolated yeast sp. (strain ATL72) has been reported to be a promising producer of high concentrations of carotenoids.

Effect of low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy on diabetic erectile dysfunction: Randomised control trial.

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) in the management of erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients with mixed vasculogenic and neurogenic causes as confirmed by nerve conduction and Doppler studies. This randomised controlled trial included 42 patients 41-55 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of erectile dysfunction and diabetic polyneuropathy. They were randomly allocated to one of two groups: shock wave group (n = 21) treated with Li-ESWT plus pelvic floor muscle training and control Group (n = 21) treated with pelvic floor muscle exercise and sham therapy by a shock wave.

Statistical optimization of photo-induced biofabrication of silver nanoparticles using the cell extract of : insight on characterization and antioxidant potentiality.

Silver nanoparticles were successfully fabricated through a very simple, rapid, one-step photo-induced green approach. The formation of silver nanoparticles was accomplished using the bioactive compounds in the aqueous extract of fresh biomass, which acted as a reducing and capping agent at the same time. The biosynthesis of -silver nanoparticles (O-AgNPs) was investigated under the influence of different light intensities 57.
